Disappointed! Barely lasted 25k miles on my Tesla Model

These were the stock (OE) tires that came with my Tesla Model 3 (Dual Motor + Long Range), and I'm extremely disappointed with them. The only reason these tires even deserve 1-star is because they never blew out, and were fairly quiet (due to the acoustic foam inside). But I WOULD NOT pay money to buy these tires again, as they barely lasted 25k miles—well short of the 45k mile lifespan that Michelin touts. When I inspected my tires at 20k miles, I noticed that all four of them were measuring between 3/32" and 4/32". However, being on a tight budget (due to some unforeseen circumstances), I decided to hold-off on replacing them, thinking they'd survive another 5k miles while I saved enough money to buy some new ones. At 25k miles, I took my Model 3 in for routine maintenance, and had the Tesla Service Center inspect all four tires—one of them measured at 1/32", and the other three were COMPLETELY BALD at 0/32". Completely unacceptable for tires that are supposed to last 45k miles! But, honestly, even when these tires were new (at 9/32" tread) their performance in wet weather was lackluster, at best. Especially in the snow, where my Model 3 would frequently slip and slide—even though it has four-wheel drive, and a center-heavy battery. I just CANNOT recommend the Primacy MXM4s to anyone. And I've already told several of my friends (who also own Model 3s) to steer clear from them! I really expected better from Michelin.

Primacy is Prime!

Driven 2K on these tires and I'm very pleased so far. Excellent traction in the rain and good grip on dry pavement. Instant upgrade for my Fusion than the OE tires at a great price. Have not driven with these in the snow so I can't comment on winter performance but I'm faithful they will perform well in that weather.

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.

Worth the extra $$$$$

I drive 110 miles to and from work on interstate highways. The speed limit is 70 and I normally travel at 75-80. I expected these tires to perform well on dry roads but they especially impressed me with their handling on wet roads. There is no noticeable difference in handling whether on wet or dry roads. If you do a lot of high speed driving I would recommend these tires for all season use.

Excellent tires!

Came with my new 2017 Acura RDX. I travel over 70 miles a day to the office on highway and country roads. I am just now looking to replace these tires because I have over 70,000 miles on them. They still have tread! In fact, I picked up a nail on my way home from work, had a very nice Highway Patrol Officer fix my tire, and he even commented, they still had plenty of tread. I'm really not sure why others have complained about the mileage. Maybe it's the way they drive, or their vehicle, but these are honestly the best tires I have ever had. By the way, my husband tells me I am very hard on my brakes/rotors, (and I'm not sure if that would affect tires), but these tires have out lasted their warranty and continue to provide a safe, comfortable driving experience!

The tire I'd been hoping for

After replacing stock 16" wheels with 17" on my Focus ST, I wanted a high performance summer tire. The first set I bought were noisy and tracked badly on road grooves. Based on reviews of the Primacy MXM4, and the price I decided to give them a try, even though they aren't described as high performance. After 9k miles I couldn't be happier. They track and corner extremely well. Most of all, they are QUIET. Living in Arizona, I don't have much occasion to drive in rain or snow, but they have performed well in limited driving in those conditions. Great tires!

Safety for the Working Traveler

As a consultant I am driving across the USA in all kinds of weather with my 2012 VW Passat Diesel. The michelin tire gives me a great ride and a extra degree of safety by allowing me to change lanes quickly to avoid another driver or debris in the road. I presently have over 50K miles on my Passat and the tire still look new. The tire is exceptional and also improved my Miles per gallon of fuel to close to 50 around town and 43 on the highway at interstate speeds and above. Michelin tires are the only tires I allow my family will run on their vehicles.

55k miles is mesleading to say the least

A set of these tires came stock from the dealer when we bought our new Acura RDX and at 34k they are a road hazard and way too worn for this few miles. We are an old retired couple so we certainly don't drag or road race race with these tires. We have used Michelin tires for many years and

Michelin Primacy, not impressed

I have the Michelin Primacy MXM4 on my 2015 Hyundai Genesis. I lease this car and don't put extensive miles on it. I am sitting at 22,000 miles 2 years into my lease and when I went in for my scheduled oil change I asked them to rotate my tires, at which the dealership said I needed new tires. These are a 55,000 mile tire and i have 1/32nd left in tread on my rear tires. Contacted Hyundai who denied the claim. My fronts have 7/32 left on the treads. I rotated the first time at 10,000 miles. I would expect more out of Michelin tires.

bumps and lumps

Bought and installed 4 in May. Now have a little over 1,000 miles on them. When first installed, I complained that the car rode much more harshly and bumpy and was something the old tires did not do. It's only happening since the Michelin tires were installed. Been back several times for re-balancing. This last time the dealer insists it is the road imperfections I'm feeling because of the hardness of tires sidewalls. Humm? Not with the old tires! Something is not right with at least one of the tires.
