Disappointing Wear

Came with new 2019 F-150 XLT Crew Cab. 17000kms now with only around 12000kms on the tires (Different winters) and they are incredibly disappointing. 2 are extremely worn even though my truck spends 90% of it's time in ECO mode and 2WD. When I bought the truck these were listed as "AT" tires, take that with a grain of salt, these are highway tires with a little groove on the side tread to make them look AT, on anything other than smooth dry asphalt these are absolute junk. Logging roads with a tiny bit of washboard will make these go totally wild. Can't wait to replace these the spring with something actually All-Terrain. Last set of Michelins I ever buy

Not great for wet or light snow covered roads…

I bought a brand new 2021 F150 and it came with the Primacy XC which were advertised as “A/T” I noticed that the treadwear was not the greatest after 25***km. I have a set of Michelin X-ice tires that I use on this truck for the winter but was late getting them on and had to use the Primacy XC. They are terrible even for light snow. Less than 3cm of snow and the tires struggle to maintain traction. If you live in Canada, I would avoid these tires if you have the option.

Not a tire to be driven in snow

Michelin's Primacy XC tires came with my new 2018 F150. Once the midwest snow came, I lost confidence in the traction needed to safely control the vehicle. As others have noted, the Primacy XC should not be offered on new vehicles in climates where snow is expected annually.

Not good in any amount of snow.

These tires came on my new 2019 F150 and I have 30k miles on them. The Primacy XC has the worst traction in snow of any tire I have ever had on a vehicle in 50 years of driving. I am not talking about deep snow, a couple inches of snow will cause them to lose traction. Even with light throttle pressure, they slip and slide. Sometimes I even have to use 4WD when a light turns green so that I do not sit in the intersection spinning my tires and blocking traffic behind me. These tires also tend to hydroplane on slush. I do not understand why these tires are sold in areas that get snow.

Quiet tires, poor performance in snow.

These tires came on my new 2020 F150 that I purchased in March of 2021. I currently have a little less than 20000km on them to date. When I first started driving the truck I was impressed by the ride quality and noise levels. When snow first began to fall is when the trouble started. These tire preform very poorly in any amount of snow. Stopping is a concern with even a light dusting on the road in the very cold conditions of middle Canada and I have been stuck several times this winter in 4-6 inch deep snow while in 4wd.

OEM Tires

These tires came on my 2020 GMC Sierra 3500HD Denali DRW. I have not been unhappy with them. I do read some reviews that down grade these tires, however, I have had no trouble getting around in the snow this winter (Toledo, Ohio). It does seem that most of the reviews for this tire are for wider sizes. I run a 235/80 R 17 E. The truck also weighs over 8000 lbs. The 235 combined with the weight may be what makes the difference. I currently have about 23000 miles on the set. Tire rotation is only side to side on the Denali due to specific rims for each location. I will likely buy the this tire again unless the Defender LTX M/S becomes available in this size.

Horrible in any condition other than dry pavement

These tires are absolutely terrible in any condition other than dry pavement/asphalt. Forget about traction on even a slight dusting of snow, even with more than 2/3 of tread depth left, and even in 4x4. I had these tires on my 2019 F150 for less than a week before I purchased new tires. These are not "all-season" tires.

Worst tires I have ever had on a truck

These tires came stock on my 2020 F150 and are hands down the worst tires I have ever had on a truck on anything but a dry paved road. How Michelin can advertise these as an All Terrain All Season tires is beyond me. They have absolutely no traction in any amount of snow fall or wet conditions. I had 2 sets of LTX tires on my last truck and was pleased with their performance. Ford must have got these at a good price. Mine will be going in the garbage with 25,000 km on them.

Scary in snow! Brand new tires and don't grip!

Tires came on my pre-ordered 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee in January 2022. Not knowing what tires I was going to get, I was impressed they came with Michelins as we've bought Michelins for years and always been satisfied. Living in New Hampshire, it is critical to have tires that do well in the snow. After the first snowfall of just a few inches, I was surprised to see how poorly these tires griped around corners. I was concerned but optimistically thought it's just a matter learning the nuances of a new vehicle. Second snowfall comes (slightly more snow but still not a lot) and it's definitely not the vehicle's handling rather it's the tires. The Jeep slides around corners and doesn't grip well at all. It's very disappointing as we've been repeat Michelin customers (my wife's Acura has them right now) for years. Perhaps these tires would do better in warmer climates? New England isn't where they should be sold. Wouldn't recommend these tires. There are significantly better choices.

Terrible Tires

These came on my 2018 F150. I have 26000 miles on them and I don't know if they will pass inspection in a few days. There is almost no tread left . I always keep the pressure at the desired location , don't rip the tires ever. Just pathetic how fast they wear. I bought out my lease so that I didn't have to put new tires on it and lose it. I still have to replace these now. Very unimpressed.
