not a great tire

Bought a new Terrain which had these tires from factory. During winter conditions (snow packed roads), I didn't feel comfortable driving with these tires. Seasons have changed to spring, Now driving in rain, these tires are terrible. Seems like they want to hydroplane. I have to reduce speeds so much that i'm being passed like i'm standing still. I can say the tires are smooth riding.

Great tire for BMW

Although Michelin's website notes the Primacy Tour A/S won't fit on my 2017 BMW 440 xi, the exact sizes [225/40R19 and 255/35R19] I require were available. ?? My local Michelin dealer wasn't familiar with these tires, and had to special order them for me. The good news is I received fresh 2020 manufacture DOT codes. After just a month, I'm delighted with the new tores, as they are quiet, stick well on wet roads...and even light snow! Michelin even makes the sidewalls with rim protectors to avoid curb damage. I couldn't be happier.

Good performance but falls short on wear.

These tires perform well and have great stopping and stability when needed. Probably saved us from colliding into an accident that occurred right in front of us on the freeway. However, the tread wears out much faster than expected. I have 25,000 miles on mine and need to replace them. And now that the thread is low the ride has become rough.

Range disappointment

These tires came stock on my 2021 Ford Mach-E. Tires are now completely worn at 55K and need to be replaced. There's no way they would ever make it to the 90,000 kilometer range claims. I am quite disappointed as Michelin has always treated me well on all my past vehicles. I'm now obviously in the market for replacement tires and my confidence in the brand is now in question. I also work in the transportation field and I'm responsible for a large fleet of truck/trailer tires which typically we would purchase Michelin but at this point I'm not so sure we should.

Horrible on dirt/slush/salt

These tires came on my 2020 Hyundai Tucson. Fortunately I work from home so I wasn’t aware how bad they handle on dirt, slush, and leftover salt left on the road. There is absolutely no type of traction and I’ve almost ended up off the road. Other than that, they handle normal conditions well.

Exceptionally uncomfortable tires on rough roads

Purchased in 2022 and these ride exceptionally smooth and quiet in great roads but on rough and bumpy roads they are the worst for this price. You can feel everything on the road and my poor car stares at me! If you are living in a place with super good roads, hands down you will be happy with these..

Tire unraveled while driving.

This review is not intended to bash Michelin as they are a reputable company and brand. However, I believe that it is important to note that I was able to get 53000 miles before my tire began to unravel while driving. This is a hazard that should be made aware of to prevent life threatening injuries or worse.

Horrible road noise, incredibly firm tire.

Tires supplied from factory on XT6. Test drove vehicle on freshly replaced road/highway and was very quiet and smooth. After driving over a variety of roads the next few days after purchase these tires are extremely LOUD and very hard. Feel and especially HEAR every pit/pebble/ripple in the road. On one stretch of my daily commute these tires cause the body “drumming” endemic to body-on-frame vehicles. Even though both Cadillac and Michelin recommend 38 psi, lowered to 30 psi to check difference. Absolutely no difference. And did I mention they are LOUD/NOISY?? Have run Michelins almost exclusively on all my cars and this set is NOT up to Michelin standards. Will be replacing immediately.

Excellent tire for your great car

Primacy tour as is one of the most comfortable tires in the market. It is very quiet on smooth roads but on rough roads you can hear some noises. I have tried other brands including the newest Turanza EV, Quiettrack, Driveguard on the same car but Primacy tour is the most comfortable and quietest of them. It absorbs the bumps and keeps you comfortable. Some may not like it as you can hear some noises on rough roads but in no way it disrupts the conversation inside the vehicle. you better try other tires and see for yourself the difference.

Michelin tires are the best tires hands down

After getting 4 new tires my vehicle is a dream to drive. My wife and I wanted to keep the same tires that we had when we bought our vehicle new 2 years ago, so there was never a decision as to the brand of tire. After getting 4 new tires though the vehicle has the handling it did when we first bought the car again. Safety and performance was our major concern and we are elated. Thanks Michelin
