Had brand new 195/55r16sl87/v michelin tires put on my car about 2 weeks ago. i noticed the brownish, dirty appearance and mentioned it to the dealer, who would not comment. The 3rd day, i took my car to another dealer and expressed my dissatisfaction, and had it looked at. They found that the tread depth on each tire was 9/32 inches instead of 10/32. This is a flaw in Michelin's quality control. They were unable to tell me why the appearance was so discolored and shabby.

We recently had a batch of snow storms here in Vancouver BC Canada. Although the premier A/S is an all season tires, they grip really well in snowy and slush conditions. It stopped with confidence and barely any skidding. In the rain, this is where these tires shine! Stops with confidence, excellent traction in turning, and even when you gas up on a slippery uphill slope. On dry roads, they are quiet and mutes any road imperfections. Overall, not the cheapest tires, but worth it. Truly an ALL SEASON TIRES. Kudos!

I have only had these tires on for a week so I cannot comment on treadwear but in the week I have had them on I have driven on dry pavement, wet pavement and light snow. The tires performed well in all 3 conditions but is definitely not, nor is it meant to be, a winter tire. However, on dry and wet pavement performed exceptionally well (excellent grip and smooth ride). I find them slightly louder than the X-Ice Xi3 winter tires that were on it but nothing I can't live with. If treadlife proves good I would deinitely look at these again when needed.

The tire handles well on dry and wet conditions, but very noisy tire I cant believe engineers would make something this noisy. I have had several other Michelin tires over my lifetime and always loved them. I will buy Michelin again but stay away from this model. Tim

If you the average idiot driver, these tires are good, B+ grade. I am an active driver who really likes to drive. I drive at or around the speed limit, up to 10 over. I don't slow for the turns. I buy Micheline's because I have very high exceptions. I expected, Pilot Exalto A/S - good, and I got a watered down compromise, that's just OK - but not as good as the no longer available, Pilot Exalto A/S. The Pilot Exalto A/S were OK, not grate, an A-. They gave a planted, heavy feel, that was consistent through a fast turn. The Premiers, feel like there inclined to over-steer, then follow up to feel like there beginning to under steer.

I purchased these tires for my Honda Pilot and boy am I sorry I did. I have driven on these tire about 30,000 miles now and I am going to replace them. They handle decent and traction is not an issue but they are extremely rough riding and a little noisy. It is time to look for a different set of tires. I hate to replace them this soon but I can’t stand the roughness anymore.

I usually swear by Michelin tires. I purchased these Premier A/S tires in Spring of 2017 for my 2012 Mazda 3 hatchback. Initially I was happy with the tire - responsive, excellent control, and fairly quiet as well. I'm now 30,000km later on these tires, have rotated them every 6-8000km, and they are nearly bald. I had an alignment done when these were installed, and now 2 years later which showed the alignment was still within tolerances. The car has never been driven aggressively. I'm very disappointed with these tires. I'm not sure if it's the Premier A/S line of tires, if I just got a bad set, or if I need to start looking at another tire manufacturer for quality tires. Either way, 30,000km is nowhere near the 100,000km I expected.

I don't understand how so many customers find Premiers so noisy. I read reviews before purchasing and decided to take a chance on them anyway. I like the idea of great traction - even with worn tires. The Forester came with Yokohama Geolander GO35, and I replaced them with Kumho ECSTA HP4. I think the Premiers are as quiet as either of those tires, and the ride is fine. I based my final decision using an online tire retailer's user ratings with all categories being excellent/superior. We had a mild winter in Iowa - so no deep snow since I bought these on December 15, 2015. We drive in town and on the highway. Fuel mileage is about the same.

Writing this review after getting the tire evaluated by tire technician at the same place where I purchased this tire. Factory fitted Continental OE tires itself lasted me over 55,000 miles before I put these. Do not buy these tires if you are looking for tire longevity. The high price doesn't justify the quick replacement needed with these. I had barely less than 2/32" thread left on all four tires of my 2014 Subaru Outback. Waiting to get these replaced as soon as I can. Pros: Very good in snow, rain and dry conditions. Comfortable ride. Good handling on road. Worked well in Michigan winters. Cons: Horrible longevity - barely lasted between 35,000 - 37,000 miles after doing tire rotations every 9,000 - 10,000 miles, doesn't even come close to 60K mileage warranty, very expensive at the same time needed quick replacement, some road noise is present, drops mileage by 1-2 mpg.

I was originally happy with the tires but I am shocked how fast they’ve worn. I’ve been following a routine tire rotation schedule. I now have 58k on the tires and they’re worn down to 4/32 already. I have also noticed a decrease in traction when it’s raining. I expected more life from the set.
