Feel very unsafe

I have only driven in my new Telluride twice. Both times the tires "make the vehicle wander on certain grooved roads" as another review stated. I love the vehicle, I hate the tires. I was on a grooved road for only a few minutes and it made me feel nauseous and as if the vehicle is going to go off the road. There is no way I could keep these on my vehicle as I do not feel safe.

Nella, Groove wandering or tramlining can be a common issue with certain tire types and sizes, particularly with those having more aggressive tread patterns. This phenomenon occurs when the tires follow the grooves and ruts in the road, leading to a feeling of the vehicle being pulled in different directions. To mitigate this, it is essential to ensure that your tires are inflated to the recommended pressure levels for your vehicle. Over or under-inflation can exacerbate groove wandering. Additionally, regular alignment checks are crucial, as improper alignment can contribute to this issue.

Don’t buy them.

The Michelin primacy ltx came on our Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited L. Now with less than 13000 miles on the Jeep all 4 tires are being replaced by me. One at a time went flat with a split in the sidewall next to the tread. I thought someone stuck a knife in the first one so I replaced it. Since supposedly vandalism was the cause I had to pay. Now 2 weeks later the forth tire just went flat with the same kind of hole. Now I see where others are having the same problem. Don’t buy these . Just don’t.

None Better

As is the case with any car I purchase if it is not equipped with Michelin tires I start shopping immediately as with the case with my 2018 Terrain. I have had Michelin tires installed on other vehicles and the ride,handling, and tire life can`t be matched. Will not purchase any other brand than Michelin. Have had "top brands" in the past and they in n way stand up to the Michelins. The Primacy LTX tires are more than living up to expectations.

Not good for grooved pavement

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.

Thumbs down

These tires came new on my 2023 Frontier SV. I just purchased the vehicle off lease with 12k miles. Who would have ever expected a set of like new tires could make a vehicle unsafe. Traction is really bad as states in other reviews and they make the vehicle wander on certain grooved roads. They are unacceptable in the wet and cold. Pulling out on a hill into traffic I was expecting to go but just spun.I’m scared to even think of driving in the snow with these. In the past I had a set of Michelin trail tires that were great. What went on with this design. I’m surprised the Michelin name would be allowed on these.

Best tire for short trips

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.

Great, awesome say whatever good you want.

I love these tires. I have a suburban and the tires have lasted well until 99000 miles. Never had an issue. Only times were when the tires had nails or pieces of glasses. But these are wonderful tires. Provides great response in all weather. I drive for work with VIP clients and I am always on the road. Drive at-least 100 to 150 miles a day. Thank you Michelin.

Terrible in the snow. The "all weather" description is misleading.

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.

disappointment

on a mileage of 13k, my rear right tire blew on the inside. There were no impacts. There was no damage on the rim or under the bottom. I conclude that these poor wheels are specially installed on new cars at a counter price, because... they are absolutely miserable. shame on michelin

Too Soft for off-pavement

Came on my 2022 Nissan Frontier. I Took it off highway on a graveled county road for the first time with less than 2400 miles on them. A rock punched up right through the top of the tread and ruined the tire. I spend a lot of miles off pavement. I feel these tires are cheap (dealer provided) and too soft for me to trust off pavement. I put on my spare ( a smaller 16" rimmed tire of different manufacturer than Michelin) and crippled back to nearest tire store. They sold me a Michelin Defender LTX M/S to replace the ruined Primacy LTX, I'm hoping the dealer will now step up and at least put 3 defender LTX on my Frontier and replace the under sized spare with the 4th defender and a new 17" rim
