Lasted 59,000 miles, very satisfied

Interesting to see such a wide variety of reviews. I came across these reviews looking to buy the same tires. I need to replace these on my KIA Telluride and have 59,000 miles and they have been quiet, and good in the snow of N.H. Perhaps lasted longer because it is a colder climate?

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.

Whomp, whomp, whomp!

These are the OEM tires on my 2022 Acura TLX and noise is intolerable. Whomp, whomp whomp and the ride is rough unless you are on the smoothest of asphalt. Current mileage is 28000 kms but noise has been present for at least the last 10000kms. Just ruins a nice car. Tire size is P255/40 R19 96W

Great Zero Pressure Run Flat Tires

I've put only about 200 miles on the tires but they are light years better than the OEM Dunlops that came with my Q50S. They are much quieter with more precise steering. They do ride a little hard but that is expected from run flats. But not nearly as hard as the OEM Dunlops. They look great on the car with excellent tread design. I feel much more secure driving my Q50S with them especially in the rain. The Primacy Tour All Season ZP tires don't feel like run flat tires when driving on the highway or neighborhood streets. If your looking to replace the run flat tires on your vehicle and want to stick with run flats, I would consider this tire without regret.

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.

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.

High spots and highway vibration

I purchased the Primacy Tour A/S ZP tires in a 245/40 19 size. This is a nice tire overall and matches with my Infiniti Q50S AWD nicely. I have about 30,000 miles on my odometer. However, I noticed a faint vibration sound at highway speeds. There is no real vibration felt, but I fear time will only make this condition worse. The tires were Road Force balanced at time of purchase. The vibration sound got worse over time and after about 1000 miles I took my car in to my dealer describing and recording the noise I was hearing in the cabin. We inspected the shocks, the front and rear drive shafts, the wheel bearings, checked the run-out of the wheels themselves and they are running true. We put the tires on their Road Force balancer and the weights were spot on. The car was brought in a second time to the dealer at a later date as the vibration sound on the highway was slightly more noticeable and was distracting my driving experience, pulsing anywhere from 12-16 times a second. Again, we looked at all suspension and driveline components, put a stethoscope on all rotating sections of the drivetrain and bearings, and the car checked out solid, checked out by the dealer's master mechanic on this second visit. So, the car was lowered from the hoist, a second mechanic got in the drivers seat and the car was lifted again. With the car started and running about 15 mph while up on the hoist. Being AWD all of the tires were spinning in the air. We could see that as the tires rotated, each tire had a high spot, perhaps at a seam? The left front was the worst but each of the tires had that one spot that was high with the rest of the tire surface running true. All of this pointed to the tires being responsible for that pulsing sound heard on the highway. Going back to the tire dealer, they graciously agreed to replace all of the tires, however they are currently on backorder. For the meantime, they offered to put the tires on the Road Force balancer while we wait for backordered tires to become available, Being the third time these tires have been on the balancer, they once again were spot on and no adjustments were needed. I am concerned that the replacement tires will have the same issue. I would have switched over to some other tire, but it is very difficult to find a Run Flat tire in this size, with a 94 load rating, a V or better speed rating, and a tread width comparable to the OEM tires. While the Bridgestone Driveguard would be the next best replacement tire, its main drawback is the tire width is only 7 inches compared to the OEM Dunlop SP Sport 5000 tires at 8.7 inches. That seems like a huge compromise for cornering traction. (btw, the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 tires are by far the worst tires in every measurable category, and of any tires I have driven on in my 40+ years of car ownership. Are you listening Dunlop?) Ideally, I would have preferred to purchase a 245/40 19 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, or any other premium performance Michelin All Season tire. However Michelin does not offer any other Run Flat tires in this size. I prefer to keep the run flat tires as no spare or spare mount is built into the car. Going back to the replacement tires, they will again be the Primacy A/S ZP. I hope they don't also have those high spots. If they do, I have no idea what other tire I would run. Michelin, you have an opportunity to provide a 245/40 19 tire as a replacement for 2014-2021 Infiniti Q50's and other brands for Ultra High Performance Run Flats, and hopefully without the high spots like that with the Primacy. I will say this though, the Primacy is a very respectable tires on many fronts. Outside of the high spot issue, the tire is impressively quiet, the drive is comfortable yet performance is available when asked, the cornering is exceptional even when pushing the car in the roundabouts, has excellent road manners over expansion cracks, very good in wet and dry, and frankly a great tire for those looking for a capable tire for general and spirited driving on the back roads. The high spots take away from what would be rated as an excellent tire.

Awesome Tire!!!!

Immediately replaced the OE Continental tires with the MICHELIN Primacy Tour A/S on a new 2019 VW Atlas and they did not disappoint. The ride comfort, noise level and road handling capabilities were outstanding…wet and dry. Southern climate, so not much experience with snow/slush. Tires now have about 45,000 miles with perfect wear. I do, however, lower inflation pressures slightly below factory specs, as I am not operating at at max GVWR. I will be replacing soon with the same.

Poor wear

After just 10,700 miles (12 months) the tires are at a 7 on the tread gauge. I have had 3 incidents of road debris with the last one requiring and “shaved” replacement. Apparently the tires grip so well they suck up the road debris, I would never purchase this type of tire again.

Replace 2 of 4 at just 20,000 miles

High wear at Very low milage. These tires were installed at the factory on my 2024 Genesis GV80. I just took the car in for its 20,000 mile service. The dealership recommends replacement of two of the four tires due to low tread. I can’t believe a Michelin brand tire rated at 55,000 miles has low tread at 20,000 miles. Many of the reviews say the tires are notorious for a short life and I have to agree. I will not be replacing these tires with Michelin that’s for sure.
