Better than stock

These tires handle very well and give a smooth ride. They are a better ride than the stock tires and give less road noise then the MXM4 Pilot Sport A/S. I prefer these tires for casual driving, the pilot sports did have better cornering though. Comfort and fuel efficiency are my two biggest concerns and these give both.

Not even 24k miles and need replacing.

Bought my Avalon 2 years ago and have less than 24k miles on it and tires are at the wear bars already. Regular rotations and air pressure adjustments, needless to say are not enough. Sad part is it's been 23.5 months...I shouldn't have to put tires on it in less than 24 months. I've always like Michelin tires until now. Guess I'll start looking elswhere for tire products. This is a very poor respresentation of what used to be a good tire manufacturer.

Outstanding Tire - Great Performance

Over the past 40 years of driving a number of different company, & private vehicles, I have tried top end tires from all the major tire manufacturers. My Volvo S80 came equipped with the Michelin Primacy MXM4 P225/50R17 tires. We do a lot of city & highway driving. I was really impressed with the overall handling & performance of these tires, better than anything that I have used in the past. The tires are very quiet, & my gas mileage is outstanding. The hwy mileage rating for our vehicle is 43 mpg. On longer highway trips I am consistently averaging just over 50 mpg, which is amazing. I highly recommend these tires....

Very quiet on my Acura!

I Just bought these tires for my Acura Tsx and all i can say is wow! They are so smooth i feel like I'm floating. They are so quiet that i hear everyone else tires around me. Also they really hug the corners as far as an all season tires go. If you have a Tsx and are looking for tires don't think twice about Michelin Mxm4.

Very Pleased

I have had these tires since 8/19/2011 - were on my new car. Previous car had Michelin's - these are excellent in the rain and are very quiet and have great handling characteristics. So far I can not comment on anything negative as so far they have been excellent - as all my past Michelin's have been.

the overall rating is ...

the overall rating is more 4.5 than 4. My Accord came with a more agressive Michelin tire from the factory and it was awesome. My daughter now drives it with a better rain rated Michelin. Quality and value are always there with Michelin tires, plus they look real cool also!

My mechanic noticed them right away..

My mechanic noticed the new tires right away.. said they looked good.. asked how I liked them.. I said I'd only had them 5,000 miles.. but so far so good.. told him I'd keep giving him updates.. if they made it to 60,000 they'd get my thumbs up.. sounds like he'll choose them as his next tire too.

Good tires compromised by Michelin's inept service

Sam’s website recommended Pirelli’s Scorpion tires for my RX350 SUV, so I had four of them installed, with recent date codes. Reviews said these tires had a softer ride than the original Michelins, which is what I was looking for. The ride did seem softer, but was also more jittery. After a few days of driving I noticed the same vibration was present on all road surfaces, and was pulsating, not random. I checked cold tire pressures. Instead of 30 PSI, they were set to 36, 37, 37, and 39 PSI. I set them all to 30 PSI, but this did not help the vibration. So I returned to Sam’s and had them re-do the balancing (though they were reluctant to do so). This did not improve things, so I went to my car’s dealership and spent an additional $100 of my own money for them to balance the tires. They found that the tires could not be balanced to stop the vibration. They then did a Road Force Test, which revealed that 3 of the 4 tires were out-of-round beyond acceptable limits, and the 4th tire was right on the edge of failing the test, not in just one test, but in both the axial and radial tests. The dealership was kind enough not to charge me for this test, which normally costs $250. The dealership also told me that though they do recommend Pirellis for their cars, they do not recommend them for their SUVs. I checked various tire dealer websites and found that Sam’s is the only one that recommends Pirellis for my SUV. I took the test reports back to Sam’s, and asked for replacements with Michelins, at an additional cost of $205 to me. They were reluctant to credit me for the bad tires, and a senior manager (not the tire dept. manager) had to get involved before they agreed to credit me for the defective tire set. A couple weeks later, I drove out with a set of four Michelin Primacy MXV4s. The vibrations had gone away. I later noticed that one of the four tires had been in storage for over 1.5 years! It also had a faded appearance, and some stains or marks on the outer sidewall surface which the other three tires did not have. I contacted Michelin on their website, gave them the details, and was given a case number and told that they would take care of it. I had to visit Sam’s and have them call Michelin to discuss my case, which I did. The Michelin rep who answered the phone when at Sam’s had a completely different take on the situation. Her view was that since I had driven with that tire on my car, I could not return it, and Sam’s convinced her that since I had returned the previous set of Pirellis, I did not qualify for Michelin’s 30-day Satisfaction guarantee. Even stranger, the Michelin lady told me that if I returned one tire, I would have to return all four! So now I am stuck with a tire that is going to have tire-rot before my other tires (I drive less than 4k miles a year, so tire-rot kills my tires long before tread wear does). I made the mistake of trusting Sam’s tire dept. Any reputable tire dealer would have sent the 1.5 year old tire right back to Michelin, or at least would have informed me about the situation before it was too late. While the Michelin tires are good so far, I give one star due to Michelin's inconsistent customer service and their inept inventory management system.

Great Handling, Tread wears a bit too fast

I bought a 2018 Honda Accord Touring new with these tires. I drive pretty tame in Kansas...flat...no curves. I do a lot of gentle engine breaking and with a CVT there isn't much exciting about 0-60, so these tires live a boring life. The car lives in a garage too at night. I got about 35,000 on the original set and decided to replace with the same tire. I am at 68,000 and it appears I am about 4-5k miles from a third set. I used to run Goodyear Assurance Comfortred's and get the advertised mileage (80k) in older Accords when I used to travel highways all the time. I think 45-50k would be realistic on these tires. 35k just seems low. Also, once you get down to about 4-5mm of tread depth, the noise really picks up.
