Worst tires I have ever had on a truck

These tires came stock on my 2020 F150 and are hands down the worst tires I have ever had on a truck on anything but a dry paved road. How Michelin can advertise these as an All Terrain All Season tires is beyond me. They have absolutely no traction in any amount of snow fall or wet conditions. I had 2 sets of LTX tires on my last truck and was pleased with their performance. Ford must have got these at a good price. Mine will be going in the garbage with 25,000 km on them.

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

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.

Not great for wet or light snow covered roads…

I bought a brand new 2021 F150 and it came with the Primacy XC which were advertised as “A/T” I noticed that the treadwear was not the greatest after 25***km. I have a set of Michelin X-ice tires that I use on this truck for the winter but was late getting them on and had to use the Primacy XC. They are terrible even for light snow. Less than 3cm of snow and the tires struggle to maintain traction. If you live in Canada, I would avoid these tires if you have the option.

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.

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.

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.

86,975 miles and still going!!

They came on my 2020 Chevy 3500. Hands down the best part of this truck. I pull campers through all weather conditions including snow from Indiana to the west coast on I-80 and I-90. My truck has all wheel drive and I have never been unsure of my traction. Best tires I've ever owned. Starting to shop for Michelin's again to replace these.

Don’t Buy

Like others, these came stock on my 2020 F150. They are showing poor tread life and have zero traction in the snow. I’m at 24k on them and will be replacing in the very near future.
