Good Quality, Questionable Value

These Tires were original to my FWD 2014 Buick Regal Turbo. Rotated every 5K miles. They were comfortable, decent performance and overall good tires. I recently replaced them with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 Plus. These last a good long time, 100,000 miles, 50,000 miles each tire on the drive wheels which is right on par with the warranty. The reason I didn't purchase these again is because they are really expensive. I understand that they are touring sport tires so they have to be both comfortable and have good performance and tread life but when i switched to the continentals, the new tires were just as comfortable even though they're ultra performance all season. These tires run even more expensive than the critically acclaimed Michelin pilot sports. The MXM4s also have pretty thin soft side wall, maybe for comfort but it was flushed with the rim so no protection from curb rashing the rim. The rubber compound is softer which makes for great stopping in wet but the trade off is they don't last as long as rivals, especially for heavier vehicles like EVs. Overall a Good tire, but for the money you can buy a tire that offers more for less, including offerings from Michelin.

So disappointed....

Installed as OEM on a 2016 Kia Optima, and at 29,000 miles, being told they need replaced. Have had Michelin before and had good luck, not sure why these are preforming so poorly. Also seeing other Optima owners reporting similar results. Maybe they shipped a bad batch to Kia? Working with the dealer to replace under the pro-rated warranty, but even then I have to pay installation and balancing...that should be included.

Quiet, comfortable and grip great!

The Primacy MXM4's were OEM on my brothers 2016 Cadillac ATS. After riding in his car I immediately noticed a huge difference between the Pilot MXM4's that were OEM on his 2014 ATS and OEM on my VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition. The Pilots felt rock hard and were quite noisy! I put the Primacy's on my VW and their incredibly quiet, cozy and responsive!!!

Outastanding ride, handling & quiet.

Replaced original MXV4 with a set of MXM4 after nine years just due to age. Don't drive many miles but drive hard and fast. These are better than the MXV4 for my liking. Great in wet or dry handling and breaking and they just do not lose air. They have transformed my 2002 VW Passat Wagon with 4 Motion to better than new, quiet, handling and ride comfort.

Excellent Tire for Tesla Y.

I have a 2022 Tesla Y LR. I switched to the MXM4 form the OEM Goodyears. I' now have put over 45K on the Michelins and still counting. As an added bonus I've noted I appear to be using about 8% fewer watts per mile than on the OEMs. Very pleased with these tires. As to those whining about short life of these tires -- how are you driving?

Best Tire I've Owned

These tires are worth the money. I've previously had Yokohama, which were so noisy I took them back for a set of Continental, which were quieter, and lasted 53K, but these Michelins are by far and above the quietest tires I have ever driven on. Wet traction, stopping, cornering - in all conditions they perform flawlessly. I live in AZ, so I don't drive in snow, so I can't comment on how they handle in the white stuff, nor do I care.

Great tire

I drive 70 miles a day for work alone, mostly highway and I must say these tires are far better than the bridgestones that came with my vehicle. No road noise, smooth ride, great grip on dry or wet pavement, and cut right through snow. This is the first time using Michelin tires and they have gained a loyal customer from now on in.

Michelin Primacy - Performance & Value

I have the Primacy MXM-4's on an Acura RL and find them to be excellent in all kinds of weather (I live in NW Pennsylvania so we do get "all kinds of weather"!) I lived in Europe (Germany) for many years and almost always drove Michelin, often at very high speeds and again, in all kinds of weather. I'll be ready for new tires in about a month (these have 39,000 miles on them) and have looked at other brands (as I always do for some reason!) but am sure I'll stay with Michelin, most likely either the Primacy again or the Pilot. It's also a "confidence in the brand" thing for me after so many years.

Treadwear is lacking

2018 Tesla Model 3 OEM - tires wear out fast after approximately 25k miles. Thanks to Covid 19, have to drive much less miles now, but still, no where near 55k rated. I don't drive aggressively and like to maximize my miles/kWh. Realistically, I didn't expect to run these tires out to 50k, but after researching replacement tires it's a well known complaint. Perhaps Michelin should lower the treadwear (warranty) expectations to 20-25k on this tire.

The peace of mind, excellent performance

I drive over 35,000 miles every year. Rain, snow, sunny weather. It does not matter - I have to get there. Over the past 15 years I tried different tires (mostly the ones that came on a new/used car) and I always come back to Michelin. I do not remember last time I got less then 50,000 miles on a set and never had one fail me. This weekend I am going to put another set on my Toyota Avalon. It will be 4th set on a car with 170,000 miles. Primacy MXV4 has done really well for the last 120,000 miles so there is no reason to change!
