the overall rating is more 4.5 than 4. My Accord came with a more agressive Michelin tire from the factory and it was awesome. My daughter now drives it with a better rain rated Michelin. Quality and value are always there with Michelin tires, plus they look real cool also!

My car has always been more of a fleet vehicle as thats what it was bought for and I only drive it for work anyways except some weekends. After about 27k miles I noticed driving in the rain became more of a safety hazard and lost major traction, and at just under 30k miles there was no center tread left on any wheel which made me a little sad because I could not do a rotation. I don't exactly drive a performance vehicle so it's not like I've been doing burnouts or the like but still would've liked to have seen closer to that 45k mile mark with them. Other than that, they were great tires. Just wish there was some sort of warranty that could've been offered when told they needed to be replaced badly. Not looking forward to the all out of pocket cost at the moment.

I have bought Michelin tires for years and have always been pleased with the performance, safety, and durability. The only question I had when purchasing new tires was which series Michelin I would buy. I selected the Primacy MXM4 for best luxury car ride with top mileage. I have now driven the tires for 5,000+ miles and have in fact received a very smooth ride and good mileage (29 mpg highway, on a 2004 Cadillac Deville with 110,000 miles). I assume the wear life also be excellent based on my past Michelin history.

Installed these tires on a 2010 Subaru Forester In August 2012. With 12k on the tires the wear is great and they handle great. The only gripe I have is that they are very loud. Road noise screams through the cabin and if you are traveling on cement the noise is so loud that you can not have a conversation with someone in the rear seat. I rotate every 5k and expected much more from these tires. The latitudes were much better for noise.

This is the second set of this particular tires that I have owned. The first set were on my first, brand new 2007 Acura TSX and the performance these tires showed just couldn't be compared to any other brands. I refused to put any other tire on that car other than these. I just last month purchased a 2016 Acura RDX and it already came stock with this brand and model of tire on it and I was sooooo happy about that because I knew I had a good set of tires on this vehicle. My wife went on a road trip and she was happy about how quiet and smooth the ride was. Then I went on a road trip and I certainly didn't have to guess how well that went!!!

People are rating these 1 star because they wear out. I have news for everyone, tires designed to have good grip (I.e. better stopping, better cornering, safer in an emergency maneuver) will wear out faster than a tire with less grip. Take Michelin up on the warranty and get a new set of 100k mile tires that barely grip the road. I’m a performance oriented driver and chose these as replacement for my wife’s BMW X3 for their quiet ride, acceptable grip and all season rating to drive in occasional snow. I will always buy the highest grip tire i can buy for the road co diction’s I drive on. If you never drive on snow or in cold temps, buy summer only tires with more grip than anyone needs and it might just save you from an accident when you need every bit of grip available.

THE MICHELIN TIRES WHICH CAME ON THE CAR WERE RATED TO LAST 40,000 MILES AND THEY DID SO AND A LITTLE MORE. THE TIRES I PURCHASED ARE RATED TO LAST 50,000 MILES AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THEY WILL EXCEED THAT MILAGE. THEY ARE GREAT ON ALL ROAD SURFACES AND WEATHER CONDITIONS AND PROVIDE A WONDERFUL AND QUIET RIDE.

Do not but those tires. They can as standard with my genesis 2016. I had to replace all of them after 28,000 miles. It was 10 months ago. Did all the tire rotation at time at genesis dealer. Now, 10 months later and only after 15,500 miles more, I have to change both rear tires! Incredible! The worst tires I have ever owned. and they are expensive!

After considerable research, just purchased a replacement set of Primacy MXM4 tires for our 2013 Lincoln MKS. This is the same tire that came from the factory on the vehicle. Happy to report that the original tires were retired with 75,004 miles on them and I could have added another 10-15 thousand miles to them if need be. (Did not want to worry about crossing the WV turnpike in the middle of winter). The tires ran smooth, were quite and provided excellent traction. The majority of our miles are traveled on Interstate highways and I don’t pretend to be a NASCAR driver on the roadway. I always laugh at drivers taking the exit ramps at full speed. Makes me think of the rubber put down on racetracks. And then they complain about their lousy tire wear!!! Bottom line: this is a great tire and I would highly recommend it. You can find cheaper tires, but you get what you pay for and with proper care, they will be worth the investment.

I bought a 2018 NIRO with Michelin MXM4 Primacy tires that came with the car. I now have only 22,200 miles on the car/tires, and I am be told by the dealer that I should think about replacing them already. That is not very good mileage for a premium Michelin tire! What is up with that? I drive 50/50 HWY/City. I drive an economical car, and my driving is the same, I am not hard on vehicles. I bought the car brand new February 2018 and I drive less than 10,000 miles a year, very disappointing in the mileage that I have gotten out of these Michelin Primacy tires.
