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.

Good solid tires

I have been choosing Michelin tires whenever possible for many years. I can't say they are the absolute best, but among the options available on the market, they are certainly one of the top brands. I used to think that Michelin tires were somewhat overpriced, but in the U.S., their cost is quite comparable to other well-known brands. I have developed a consistently positive opinion of the Michelin brand. I’ve used their tires on various vehicles, including an Audi Q7 with 18-inch wheels (255 width, if I remember correctly), and recently I purchased a set of Michelin Primacy™ LTX® tires for my 2012 Nissan Pathfinder. Over the past 15 years, I’ve driven on Michelin tires in a variety of conditions — and the vehicle’s behavior has always remained stable and predictable, which deserves real respect. Handling with these tires is sharp and very responsive. There's no sense of a “spongy” steering feel — the car turns exactly as much as you turn the wheel. That gives confidence and allows for better control in real-world situations. Primacy™ LTX® is a soft and comfortable tire with excellent grip on asphalt under different temperatures and weather conditions. I haven’t used this tire in freezing conditions, but from +5°C to +45°C (41°F to 113°F), its behavior on the road has been consistently impressive. This is truly a comfortable and reliable tire. On hot California asphalt, at the manufacturer’s recommended pressure, it may feel slightly firm — but still well within acceptable limits. Overall, Michelin is one of the few brands I truly trust. I hope the company continues to maintain its high product quality and doesn’t go the way of some other manufacturers. It’s nice to have a brand you don’t need to research endlessly or read hundreds of reviews about — you just buy it, install it, and enjoy the ride. It’s one of those moments when you know your money was well spent and you’re genuinely satisfied with your purchase.

Great cornering and wet surface performance

The Michelin LXT tires are design to be a great match for my Toyota 4Runner. They run very stable in heavy rain with no hint of hydroplaning. They are running very quiet and the grip on cornering is exceptional for this SUV. I believe that the wear life of these tires will live up to Michelin's excellent reputation.

Not a good tire for a truck that see gravel roads

These tires came as standard on my 2022 Nissan Frontier, I got a puncture in one in less than 3000km's of driving. The tire was ruined. I was not offroading, i was driving on a regular gravel road. If you stick to paved surfaces exclusively they may be ok.

No good

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.

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.

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.

Great Features on this product but... maybe a version 2

These tires 245/50R20 came installed in my 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited. I already have 40K miles on it, and the handling on those are pretty amazing, on highway and paved roads, handling is excellent on curves and braking, is a smooth quiet tire and very precise while driving dry surfaces. Last winter went thru light snow in NC, VA for an All-Season tire was excellent. My only concern with this tire is Hydroplanning, they are average on wet surfaces and I want to replace them soon with a better Michelin product, so I will need Michelin advice in order to do that.

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.

Long Lasting!

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.
