Great longevity

These tires came on my 2020 Silverado 4x4 dually. I purchases truck new and currently have approximately 94,000 miles on this set of tires and still have tread left. In ice and snow I generally put in 4 wheel drive and have had no slippage. Will slip a little in 2 wheel drive on ice but why would you run in 2 wheel drive on ice? Looking forward to my next set at around 100k.

Great road tire!

I bought these as new take-offs from a dealer and put on my 2016 F150. Far better tire than the Goodyear Fortitude that used to be stock on the F150 in 2015/2016/2017. A nice quiet tread for highway. Ride was decent. Could have been a little better. Wet and snow traction were ok. Not great but not bad either. I got 60K miles out of them and would have kept going, but slashed a sidewall. Upgrade to Defender LTX as my next set.

Not a tire to be driven in snow

Michelin's Primacy XC tires came with my new 2018 F150. Once the midwest snow came, I lost confidence in the traction needed to safely control the vehicle. As others have noted, the Primacy XC should not be offered on new vehicles in climates where snow is expected annually.

Not good in any amount of snow.

These tires came on my new 2019 F150 and I have 30k miles on them. The Primacy XC has the worst traction in snow of any tire I have ever had on a vehicle in 50 years of driving. I am not talking about deep snow, a couple inches of snow will cause them to lose traction. Even with light throttle pressure, they slip and slide. Sometimes I even have to use 4WD when a light turns green so that I do not sit in the intersection spinning my tires and blocking traffic behind me. These tires also tend to hydroplane on slush. I do not understand why these tires are sold in areas that get snow.

Disappointing Wear

Came with new 2019 F-150 XLT Crew Cab. 17000kms now with only around 12000kms on the tires (Different winters) and they are incredibly disappointing. 2 are extremely worn even though my truck spends 90% of it's time in ECO mode and 2WD. When I bought the truck these were listed as "AT" tires, take that with a grain of salt, these are highway tires with a little groove on the side tread to make them look AT, on anything other than smooth dry asphalt these are absolute junk. Logging roads with a tiny bit of washboard will make these go totally wild. Can't wait to replace these the spring with something actually All-Terrain. Last set of Michelins I ever buy

Terrible traction, terrible lifespan

These tires came on my 2020 F150. I drove them from new until 50000km. I rotated them every 8000km and always ensured they were properly inflated. These are hands down the worst tires I've ever owned. If the road is wet, snowy, icy, or anything aside from a flat level dry surface these tires will struggle to maintain grip and traction. They even got me stuck on an icy road in 4 wheel drive. To top it off by 50000km they were down to 3/32. A totally unacceptable product. Do yourself a favour and get something else.

Horrible in any condition other than dry pavement

These tires are absolutely terrible in any condition other than dry pavement/asphalt. Forget about traction on even a slight dusting of snow, even with more than 2/3 of tread depth left, and even in 4x4. I had these tires on my 2019 F150 for less than a week before I purchased new tires. These are not "all-season" tires.

Worst tires ever in snow

These tires came on my new 2021 Ford F150 and they are absolutely useless in snow and on ice. Even in 4x4 almost impossible to move. I only have 5400 kms on them but definitely not made for cold weather conditions in Canada. If icy on highway and a strong wind, almost slides off road in wind gusts.

Terrible in snow.

These tires came on my new Ford F150 5 months ago and I currently have 20000km on them now. They were fine in the summer and the quietest tire I have ever personal owned. But we when got any amount of snow tires are nothing less than a safety hazard. They have no traction at all combined With the stopping power of a curling stone. I have been stuck in my own driveway with the truck not hung up and all 4 wheels spinning but getting no purchase. My biggest regret is not changing these out the day I bought my truck.

Not what I was hoping for

These tires came on a 2019 F-150 I just purchased with 17,000 miles on it. After running Michelins my whole life, I was sorely disappointed when we got two inches of snow a few weeks ago and I couldn't get out of my own way in two wheel drive. I went through two sets of LTX's on my last truck (Toyota Tundra TRD) and loved them. Great mileage, good traction, never an issue. Not the Primacy's. The only positive thing I can say about these was that they were easy on gas.
