Very smooth and quiet ride

Quiet, good wet road traction, handle well. Happy driver

Expensive but in the long run you only get what u pay for.

I’ve had Michelin tires all my driving years. Very happy with the smooth ride and performance of this tire.

Our first significant snowfall in NW Pa this weekend and I have gotten stuck once while other 4wd's were able to go through the same snow, and lost control twice due to spin out and inability to brake. These tires came on my new Silverado EV and I am heading to the Chevrolet dealers tomorrow to lodge an official complaint with General Motors and to replace these tires. I have been driving for 50 years with nine different trucks in all kinds of weather in NW Pa and I have never had a worse tire on a truck than these for performance in the snow. I cannot believe GM would put them on a vehicle as standard equipment.

Primacy 265/65-18's came on a new Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 . All was good until first time on grooved pavement when it started rocking side to side with less than 500 miles on the vehicle I thought something was wrong with the truck this was not the case! As soon as vehicle left the grooved pavement handling returned to normal.

These Primacy LTX tires came on our 2021 Kia Telluride that we bought new. I recently noticed a puncture in the sidewall on one tire. It almost looks like the rubber split. It looks pretty deep but the tire is still holding air. This is my wife's car and she drives on the interstate a lot; Needless to say I'm concerned that this tire could burst at any moment. My wife says she hasn't hit anything that could cause this damage. Also, there isn't any damage to the wheel. After reading a lot of other reviews I'm compelled to think that this is a faulty tire design or quality escape from Michelin. Since this is a safety issue I have to replace this tire and given that our Kia is AWD, it looks like I'll be replacing all 4 tires that don't even have 30k miles on them. I had previously held Michelin in high regard but have lost confidence in them after this.

Just bought a 2024 Santa Cruz (small pick-up) with these on it. First day, I barely scraped a sidewalk and the sidewall tore right through. I have never had that happen with any car or truck I ever owned or drove in my life. Then I happen to see others have the same issue with lack of durability! I need this resolved by Michelin.

From an engineering perspective, it would appear that the tire design was not considered when running on sanjas, (drainage cuts). The tread pattern runs parallel to these cuts and as it skips, from cut to solid, the friction fluctuates causing significant vibration in the perpendicular direction. This effect is further magnified when on ice and wet sanja roadways. It feels like the vehicle is hydroplaning. On non-sanja roadways, the tires perform as expected.

First off, this tire has a bad reputation. I think the reason people don’t like it, is they’re using it for the wrong purpose. The Primacy is not for off road use. It will perform well for long trips, but its life won’t last like the defenders. This is a fuel efficient tire-low rolling resistance. It is best suited for stop/start city driving, and/or highway driving if you are going to drive less than 55,000 miles in 5-7 years. 7 years is about as long as you want to keep any tire on the road; thanks to the sun and oxygen in the air.
