I would buy again

These tires replaced my OEM Michelin MXV tires and, although I went from a V-rated tire to an H-rated tire, I am very pleased with their performance. Excellent tread wear, traction, both wet and dry, and handling. The only thing about them is a slight tendency to "sing" at freeway speeds on concrete. I still get as good as, if not better gas mileage and would recommend them to anyone.

Amazing tire!

Currently Running the Primax's on a show/spirited driven Scion TC. Good grip in both the wet and dry. Being here in Seattle you have to find a good compromise between those two weather events. Road noise even on very stiff racing coilovers is minimal if not even something to be heard. Do wish the tire was a bit more square where the sidewall meets the tread, but that is more for a visual appeal than necessarily performance oriented.

They don't last very long....

I bought these for our BMW in March 2022 and they are very close to the wear bars at just under 13,000 miles and the car now vibrates horribly when driving over 70mph. I had an alignment done and the wheels balanced when I put them on, and they were good at first, other than being stiff. Now our fancy BMW is currently the least comfortable car to drive in the house until I buy new tires.

Trying out Michelin's 40,000 mile tires

I tried out Michelin's Primacy 40,000 mile tires on my Lexus. I've put 30,000 miles on so far, both highway and rural roads, and it will be cutting it close to see if I make 40,000 miles. The only problem is the tire/rim seal has leaked a couple of times, but that is no fault of the tire, but of the aluminum rim. I'll do it again... the Primacy provides a great ride.

Great tire for my Mazda 6!

Purchased a Mazda 6 (2010, new). these tires came as original tires on car. l loved the ride, handleing, (tire corners very well) , stopping distance. A really well made tire, having a family, road safety is important to me, so when it was time to replace tires, I purchased the same tire that came with car. I keep my car"s for a 10 year (100k average) you can expect that I will continue to purchase Michelin tires for my car tire needs! Thank you

Outstanding Runflat alternatives

After 5 years of using my 2015 C400 4Matic sedan that came with Continental runflats I finally got scope to put these Primacy 3 XP and ... Oh! what a revelation .. a completely new car feel with superb dry and wet grip, much less road-noise, less rolling resistance and excellent braking. My gas average has improved too. A "true Michelin" from every sense ... If you have a C300, C400, C450, C43 you owe it to yourself to move to these. Though these Primacy 3 are strictly summer tires, I live in NoVA and we don't get much snow here .. for light snow I am sure they're good.

Still running strong after 68,000 miles

I put a set of the primacy tires on my car and have gone over 68,000 miles and the tires still looked good when I traded the car for a new one. I have had nothing but michelin on my cars for several years. They are always good for lots of miles and ride really nice. I will keep buying michelins!! I am in Florida and the hot weather here is hard on tires, but I have not had any problems.

Nice when they're new

Great tire, but rears last only about 15,000 miles on my car, which has different size tires on each axle. This means I can't rotate them front to back. Good wet grip and relatively quiet for a run-flat. They do seem to attract nails as I have had three flats in 25000 miles with them. They cannot be repaired if punctured and the run-flat concept is not ready for prime time. With a flat you can drive a total of about 50 miles at reduced speed, which will get you to where you're going if your puncture occurs within this distance from your destination. Very few places stock these tires so be prepared to wait 3-5 days to get a replacement tire.

softer ride than the good year sports

Good feeling after replacing Good Year Sports Run Flat with Primacy 3 RF. Just first 300 miles on the new tires. Will see how long they last. Made in italy
