Hazardous for winter driving

These tires came with our 2019 Rav4 XSE and performed well on dry and wet roads. That all changed when winter set in; breaking distance on snow packed roads was terrible and down right dangerous. I talked to the dealer about changing tires and they said they couldn't do that. I have ordered a new set of tires from a different manufacturer, ones we have been using for years, to mitigate this problem. I have had Michelin tires in the past and have never experienced anything like this before. These are not all season tires.

AVOID PRIMACY MXM4 A/S -- horrible tires

I bought Primacy mxm4 earlier in DEc. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE -- AVOID THEM! They are LOUD, hard, very low rolling resistance which leads to a feeling of no/low performance, no grip, etc. I wapped them for Pilot Sport 4 all season, which is a ZR rated tire. Feel and preformance on those are better, but the Pilot Sport is LOUD, too - just not as loud as these utterly miserable Primacy mxm4. I am surprised that Michelin even offers these horrible tires. Not in any way like the wonderful Michelin tires of yesteryear, upon which the Company built its previously well-earned reputation

Tire is prone to punctures even from a pebble

OEM tires on my Ioniq 5. A 16mm pebble(rock) punctured through the tread and all 5 belts including the steel belts this morning causing a rapid leak of 10 psi per minute. My bicycle tires are stronger than this model tire from Michelin with just 6,800 miles.

These worked well for me on a Rav4 Hybrid!

Bought these to replace the OEM Dunlop tires that were showing cord at 30k miles. The Michelins are a LOT quieter and ride nicer. The only down side and why only 4 stars was the MPGs took a near 10% hit as I now am only seeing 40-41 MPG. These tires are sure footed in rain and the limited ice / snow I've driven them in with the hybrid's AWD drivetrain. i have over 55k on them so they went the distance. While they are due for replacement, I wouldn't think twice about a cross country road trip with them as they are! The only reason I'm considering something else is I miss 44+ MPG and my 2nd Rav4 Hybrid ('23 XSE) does this regularly.

Average

For everyone complaining about these tires on EVs give your head a shake. A Ford lightning weighs nearly as much as a 1 ton diesel and these are passenger rated tires. Even a Nissan leaf is significantly heavier than an ICE vehicle of the same class. They are average tires.

Terrible in dry and wet conditions

Rented a car in Miami this week (Ford Escape). Tires were new as the car only had 50 miles on it. I noticed through the week that non-aggressive accelerating grip was minimal and turning/braking grip in wet condition grip was also minimal. Tires are so bad I got out of car specifically to look at the make and model, and was surprised they are Michelin’s. I have significant experience evaluating tire grip and performance as a semi-professional endurance race car driver. These tires are unsafe for average drivers in moderate street use. I will go out of my way to tell friends and family to not purchase this make and model tire… They were that bad.

Blowouts!!!!

I’ve had my 2023 Prius xle with Michelin 195 50R19 tires for 2 years. I’ve had 3 blowouts (never had one with any other tire). Each time it took weeks if not months to get a replacement tire because they are always back ordered. I am thinking of getting rid of the car.

MICHELIN® Acoustic Technology may be faulty

A section of the MICHELIN® Acoustic Technology came loose. Caused tires to be severely unbalanced at 50 to 60 mph. Hyundai dealership says they may or may not take responsibility but they have to see the tires in person. Unfortunately, that means 150 mile trip to the closest dealership, even though the local Michelin dealer first identified the problem. Problem started about 16k miles and caused me to pay balancing fees twice.

joeferal, we're sorry to read of this issue. It is not necessary to travel back to the Hyundai dealership if an authorized Michelin retailer is aware of the problem. A member of our team will be calling you to work with the local Michelin retailer on initiating a warranty claim.

Poor tread life for wet and snow traction

These were the OE tires on my 2022 Explorer. By 25,000 miles the light snow and wet traction was bad. The dry traction and tire noise were decent. I replaced them at 37,000 miles with a different brand since the hydroplaning in wet weather was getting worse. I have the same tires on a Bronco Sport and expect the same problems.

Worst Choice fo Micheline

These are one of the worst times. I love my Hyundai and as fgood as the car is, the worsre these tires are. The vibrations just when you are slowing the car is scary. Really can make any one driving my car for the first time fell like the last day. And the noise! They are loud.
