2021 Ford Escape Owner
1 out of 5 stars review

Low mileage/excessive tread wear

They came with the 2021 Ford Escape that I bought new in 2021. I check and inflate as needed every month as required and the outside edges of the tires are wearing through to the first set of plies. Very disappointed with only 45,000 miles. I've had original Michelins on previous cars that got me 70-80,000 miles.

2021 Ford Escape Owner, When the shoulder of the tread on one side of a tire wears faster than the rest of the tire, this can result from a variety of conditions (misalignment, loose or worn suspension components, hard cornering, improper tire rotation practices, misapplication, high crown roads or non-uniform mounting. We'd recommend taking your vehicle to an authorized Michelin retailer for an inspection of the tires. You are welcome to contact us at 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST upon getting their inspection.

Held up very well, 50k miles

Came on my Ford Mustang Mach E (EV) and I wouldn't be replacing them at 50k miles except I have a screw in 1 tire, finish nail in another tire, and a plug already in a 3rd tire.....thank Hurricane Ian for that. Great tire and I will be replacing them with the same one!

No tread left at 30,000 miles

I purchased a new Kia Sportage in 2022. I recently noticed the tires seem to have no tread, and during my recent oil change service, the dealer stated I needed new tires - AT UNDER 30,000 miles!!! I'm currently at 31,000 and don't feel safe driving them with so little tread. Very disappointed. I will be replacing with Goodyear tires.

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..

Only got 25,000 miles, not the advertised 55,000 miles

These tires came with my 2021 GMC Acadia. I haven't even hit 25,000 miles and they now need replacing. I rotated the tires on time and checked air pressures every month according to the owner's manual. I see in the warranty that "Original Equipment tires are excluded". Based on my experience, and what I'm seeing from other reviews with similar experiences, these tires must be very poorly manufactured. Michelin should be ashamed for selling these, and even more ashamed for not having a solutions for those of us who only got 20-40k life from these tires.

Great customer service!

I got the primacy tour tires on my car with my lease, they wore out quickly at 26k miles, I called Michelin and was back and forth a few times because of the dealership and Michelin was so kind and responsive! Was upset with the tires but the customer service saved everything, helped resolve everything and has been such a pleasant experience!

66k miles and STILL going smooth!

These tires have a 55k warranty and I am currently shopping for a new pair. I just wanted to let people know my experience as I see so many negative reviews. I am a ride share driver (Lyft & Uber) and these tires are very quiet and comfortable. I was surprised to get to 66k miles and I'm just now approaching the lowest legal limit of 2/32", but the tires are STILL surprisingly comfortable and quiet. I live in Texas so we don't have a lot of rain, but when I lived in Ohio and Florida I did drive in the rain and the only problem I had was a common one which was: hard acceleration from being completely stopped caused the tires to slip slightly. With that being said, Anyone's tires are going to spin under those circumstances. Other than that, great dry traction, pretty good wet traction and handling, and decent in snow/slush. I drive a 2021 Hyundai Tucson SEL fwd.

Every thing I hoped for.

Purchased a new 2021 Buick Encore GX. 4 weeks ago. This SUV came with Hankook Kinergy GT tires. Took them off after 200 miles! These tires should never have been used on a Buick GX or any car. The Primacy Tour A/S made this new SUV Ride much smoother, quieter and handle better. Very pleased with these tires. Spent a lot of time doing research on tires, and these Michelin tires had great reviews. Feel much safer driving now.

Superb

2019 Lincoln Nautilus, had a factory Continental tire where the foam insert separated from the inside of the tire causing imbalance. had them rebalanced once not knowing what was happening, within 200km's of rebalance it bunched up in a different place causing imbalance again. Tire shop removed and this is where we saw the problem. Promptly ordered new Primacy tires. What a completely different driving experience, handling, comfort, quiet are absolutely superb with this tire, there is no equal. On every vehicle I own once factory tires are worn I always replace with Michelin. There is no substitute!!!

Very Disappointed

I bought a new 2021 Chevy Blazer, came with Primacy Tour A/S. The Blazer has 25,600 miles and the tires are rotated by the Chevy Dealership every oil change. I don't drive the Blazer much, as it is my wife's. We received less than 2 inches of snow this weekend, as was driving the Blazer I was sliding all over the road. The traction from stop to accelerate in AWD is terrible. I was traveling about 20 MPH and slide 25 feet through an intersection. I pulled over and examined the tires, these is really no tread left land the outer parts of the tires are rounded. These are nowhere close to a 55,000-mile tire.
