I had MXV4s and my 2011 VW Tiguan was a joy to drive. Butter smooth and bumps were just a thump. I tried to test drive cars as the VW was getting older but couldn't find anything that rode half as nice. At 75k I had to replace tires before the winter and they don't make MXV4s anymore so went with Premier A/S. They ride like rocks. Jittery and loud on perfectly smooth roads, and jarring with the littlest bumps (even just tar used to fill in cracks in the road). Tires inflated perfectly and balanced perfectly, doesn't matter. Bumps literally rattle the car. My neck is starting to hurt again like when I had an 03 Accord.

I'm the owner of a minivan with AWD. I was hesitant on what to tires to buy after the stock tires only lasted about 30K miles, so I did my (extensive) research. I was between the Latitude LTX, the Defender and the Premier A/S. The reviews for this last option didn't exactly convince me (4.3 out of 5 starts at the time) but ultimately decided over this tire after looking at it physically before purchasing. Let me tell you, it worked great! I've put already 3K miles on it between city driving and a road trip. These tires are a very comfortable ride and a great improvement over the stock tires in noise and handling. Would recommend to anyone -JV

These came on the car when I bought it used, and I'm not sure how many miles they had then. But I've put 60,000 on them and they could easily go another 5k or 7k more. I kept them rotated and balanced every 5k or 6k miles, and I've had no issues. As for drive quality, they do very well in wet conditions. It is a firm riding tire so you will feel more connected to the road. As always, the more confident handling comes at the price of a soft ride.

I have purchased many tires in the past, but by far theses have been the best yet. They are the quietest tire I have ever had. No road noise what so ever. I your are purchasing tires, spend the extra money and get the best. You won't be disappointed.

I recently bought Michelin A/S tires for my 2013 Mazda 3 iTouring. The old tires were noisy, rough riding, and needed air frequently. When I had the Michelins installed I felt like I was in a different car...quiet, smooth, and great performance on wet roads. These tires are the best tires I have driven on in many years.

When purchasing the new tires,we did not expect to feel the difference. then, we went for a spin around town.Well, the new tires perform better than we expected.the ride is smoother and the wheel alignment made a difference too!As far as user performance rating!It is excellent for wear life,fuel efficiency,handling,braking,comfort

I now use Michelin tire on my bike and cars now. After 4 sets of tires 2 car 2 on bike I am completely satisfied with the long tire life and performance in dry or wet roads. I get well over the listed mileage on both set of tires. I have driven race cars and bikes, commercial and passenger vehicles and Michelin tires are the best out there. Great Tires

I replaced stock tires on my 2014 Mazda 3 i Touring with Premier AS hoping these new tires would reduce road noise since they are supposed to be the successor of MXV4. Michellin's own web site even gave this tire a rating of 10 in comfort category. However, what I found is that noise reduction is only noticeable on super smooth asphalt pavement but how often do you get to drive on *super smooth* asphalt streets? 99% of streets in LA are non-smooth asphalt or concrete pavements. Just driving on the concrete paved 105 freeway near LAX makes me depressed because I still hear the same loud tire roar I had with Stock tires.

I have owned several sets of Michelin tires and this set just topped the list for traction, responsiveness and road handling. They replaced another set of Michelin tires and the performance is even better. If you have owned Michelin's you know what I'm talking about. If you are thinking about your first set, do it. I have sold tires for twenty years which means I have driven cars with different tires on them and nothing compares to the performance and value you get out of a set of Michelin's. Per mile there is no greater return on your investment than buying a set of Michelin's for you car, van, truck or sports car.

I am so happy with these tires! There are several reviews that claim drivers only got 38k or less miles on this tire. I wonder if these drivers had proper inflation, perfect alignment and what road conditions for which they were using these tires. My experience is the tire wore down after 58,334 miles. That is how many miles I drove before the ‘penny test’ failed. However, I could probably drive another 5,000 miles safely. Given that I do a lot of long distance and business driving, I decided to replace them before they completely wore out. Remember, these are touring tires meant for smooth, super quiet, luxury rides. If you are using these for strenuous driving, you’re better off with the sport edition. This is my personal experience and it’s possible that other drivers received defective tires or had them installed by a non-professional.
