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.

I've had these tires on my 2020 Silverado right from the factory and put 78,000 miles and they still have more life left. I expect to get around 85,000 miles out of these before replacing with another set of Primacy LTX. These tires are quiet and have delivered fuel economy exceeding EPA estimates.

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.

Just a gawd awful tire. Won't balance out, has vibrations from the tires being out of round, absolutely horrible snow/ice/rain traction. How Michelin could stand being this tire as bad as it is and still have it on the market baffles me. Only driven 3,000 miles on my 2022 Frontier (certified pre-owned) since I have owned it for a few months and now looking for a superior option!

I bought my new grand Cherokee and I thought for weeks something was wrong with my brand new jeep turns out these tires were doing the same thing but flattening out during cold temps and bouncing. It was horrible. I looking to buy new tires for this vehicle already.

2 of the 4 leak like a sieve at 12,000 miles. Came on new 2024 Nissan Frontier. Multiple tiny leaks in 2 of the tires without punctures. Can’t believe Michelin would put their name on them. Can believe Nissan would choose to put them on their vehicles. Only 42,000 miles short of guaranteed mileage. Worthless.

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.

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.

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

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
