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.

Just Okay

This Primacy tire came on our new 19 Ford Edge SEL. We have 25,000 miles on this tire, driven exactly 4 years to date. June 19-June 23. I keep the tire pressure from 36-38psi [Cold] year round, in our lower Wisconsin weather, with even tire wear. I have my own compressor in the garage. There is just my wife and I and both retired since 2010. The tread wear bars are not quite fully exposed. This November, due to our Wisconsin winter season, these Primacy tires will have to be replaced. I might say these tires will reach 30,000 to fully expose the wear bars, at best. I was not expecting a whole lot from these tires in the off set. I once had 55,000 mile warranty tires and were good for 35,000 miles. This specific tire did not meet my grade. You be the judge.

Horrible Harmonic humming noise emitting from the new tires.

I had these tires installed on my 2019 Lexus NX300. The tires have been balanced twice and aligned. I have an annoying hum at 30mph. I can feel it through the steering wheel. I totally dissatisfied with these new tires. My tire shop doesn't have an answer. I cannot continue to drive with tires that emit this hum.

Great Tires

I have the Primacy Tour A/S 245/50 R 20 V102 as stock on my 2021 KIA Telluride SX-P AWD. I took delivery of my Telly on NOV. 3, 2020. I now have 72,455 miles on these tires. Last month I rotated the tires and the treads measured 5/32". I am now looking at replacing them with the same tires. I have been completely satisfied with these tires.

Very disappointed worn out in 2.5 years at 35,500 miles

Very dissatisfied with the tread wear of these tires. Bought car in September of 2020, A 2020 Hyundai Tucson Sport, I have owned the car for 2.5 years and 35,500 miles and it has been religiously serviced by the Dealer. Came with OE Michelin Primary Tour A/S 245/45/19 tires. Thought the Michelin band was the #1 tire company but fooled me, currently these tires are sitting at 4/32’s of tread left and will have to be replaced after the next tire rotation. Pretty sad for a tire at should last about 5 years and 55,000 miles, Plus my commute is nothing aggressive some highway and city driving a total of 24 miles a day. When the time comes which will be very shortly will be looking other brands other than Michelin for replacement

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.

Super super super best performance tires i had ever

i had used this tire for more than 3 years, the most favorite performances are comfort and silent and additionally tread life service is better than competitors, as of today 61,000km, however i could find remaining tread depth more than 3mm/tires, it is super super good tires i had ever used so far during my driving experiences from 26 years old; that is for 26years.

Like these tires

I bought these tires in Nov 2020 for a 2016 Honda Accord EX-L V6. From the first drive home, I could tell a significant positive handling and ride difference vs higher mileage warranty tires (stiffer sidewalls) I’ve owned previously. Not having been satisfied with the ride and handling of higher mileage warranty Michelin tires purchased in the past, which didn’t come close to the stated mileage wear warranty anyway, I was willing to give up a longer wear warranty to have a better performing tire. I got it in these tires. I love their handling and ride and have never had an issue in wet weather. While I do not expect I will get 55K miles out of these tires (mileage warranty for the Primacy Tour A/S tires), even if I get 45K miles, which seems the best I’ll do, I like these tires. So much so, that in Nov 2024 I bought a second set for a 2009 Lexus ES350. Same comments as above, with regard to ride and handling. I would recommend these tires with the caveat not to expect more than 40-50K miles. For me personally, I can live with the performance vs mileage tradeoff.

Quality first

These replaced the Michilin Defender on my 2018 Highlander One day in, quiet and comfortable. Got 40k on the defenders. Will see how they handle the NE winter! These were my second choice because I could not get the Continental ContiCross contact LX Sport that are on my RAV4, the top rated tire and amazing...if you can get them.

Nice road characteristics, but treadwear nowhere near the promised miles.

These tires ride well and quietly, and they also improved the handling of my Lexus ES330. These V-rated tires provided handling and cornering that was better than the Michelin H-rated tires my car had previously. The only major drawback is that although they came with a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty, they were worn to replacement-needed level after a bit less than 13,000 miles (and had been properly inflated, wore evenly, and rotated every 6,000 miles). Michelin's "fine print," which I had not seen until now, limits treadwear warranty to specified miles OR 6 years, whichever comes first. I bought these before the pandemic, and did not travel for 3 years, yet Michelin's "clock was ticking," and when I called today to request pro-rated coverage, they said no. So much for "customer goodwill."
