Good on dry/wet condition, but terrible on snow

These tires came with 2024 Genesis GV 70 EV. I only have 6000 miles on them. I like the look and how smooth and quiet they performed on dry and wet surfaces. As being that they are A/S tires, I expected decent performance on snow covered surfaces. But that was not the case when we got snow accumulation of 4-5 inches. It wasn't even icy condition. These tires were slipping as if they were summer tires on snow. For those who live in warmer climate, these are good tires. But I wouldn't recommend these tires for those living in colder climate.

Great Tires

I am very pleased with these tires. I am surprised to read reviews about the tires wearing out quickly. I have almost 30,000 miles on my Genesis GV 70 and and have lots of tread left. I drive a combination of highway and city. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because I wish road noise was a little quieter.

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.

Exactly what I wanted

My 2016 Honda Accord V6 sedan came with Primacy MXV4s. They were ok but they weren’t very responsive and they didn’t like getting pushed hard during cornering. The Primacy Tours are much better. My car feels more “planted” and it handles better, The ride is a little firmer but not harsh. The new tires are 2 pounds heavier and I assume the extra weight went into stiffer sidewalls, yielding better handling but a little stiffer ride. The tires are quiet except on rough road surfaces. The bottom line is that the Tours feel sportier but still very civilized, which is exactly what I wanted.

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.

Low mileage not worth your money

This tire came with my Lincoln I have 8,000 miles on a 55,000 mile tire and they are already halfway through the life of the tire. I have done 2 rotations on the tires so they are all are at 5/32nds. I will be lucky if the tire will last 2 more months .

Totally Satisfied With Michelin Tires

Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires are original equipment on my 2021 GMC Acadia Denali which I purchased new. The tires now have traveled 22K miles and still perform like the day I bought the vehicle. The tread wear is minimal or what I would consider normal. The tires remain quiet, handle well in all weather conditions including Minnesota snow and ice, and I must say these are exceptionally smooth riding tires. I have owned upwards of 50 vehicles in my life and have driven well over 2 million miles. The Michelin Primacy Tour A/S is among the best tire I’ve owned. I also have a 2020 Yukon Denali that rides on Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 tires and these are top of the line in performance and ride as well.

Great life, other reviews probably just cannot drive

These came factory on our RAV4. These tires did just fine in Idaho for the last 3 years (51,000 miles) in snow, ice, rain, and dry conditions. No idea where these other people are getting their reviews, I think its the fact they cannot drive. My wife had zero issues in the snow and rain as well. We are due for a new set and will be replacing with these.

Primacy Tour A/S

I was originally sold Cross Climate 2 tires for my 2021 Lexus 350. Those tires are for snow climates or a non-luxury car. I immediately noticed my car rode rough (it always drives smooth!). I contacted Michelin customer care because the store I went to did not want to exchange or refund at first. Michelin customer care was fantastic and walked me through to process to get my tires replaced under the 60 day satisfaction guarantee—no hassle. I got Primacy Tour A/S replacement tires which was recommended for my car. Now, it rides like butter again. Thank you Michelin!!!

Terrible hollow droning sound

On my dealers recommendation, I purchased 4 of these in 21” for my 2020 Volvo XC60. Immediately I noticed a hollow droning sound whenever I went over bumps on the road - it sounds like I’m driving on 4 over-inflated inner tubes. I came from a long history of a competitors tires and never had these sounds coming from the road. Highly unimpressed so far. I gave two stars due to the fact that when there is a smooth patch, they are very quiet indeed. The droning is so bad, I’ll definitively have to find another set to go with.
