Not satisfied

Wear down too easy I bought a set of these for my Nissan Altima in Oct 2016. After just two winter seasons, these tires are sliding all over. I have about 24,000 miles on them and they are down to 5/32 in tread depth. Typical replacement is 4/32 inches but even at 5/32 they don't have much traction. I am very disappointed in Michelin. Their tread guarantee is 2/32 in depth which is almost completely bald. you could never drive safely with that low of tread. I do not recommend these tires.

Awesome Tires

I have a 2012 Mini Cooper . I had continentals on my car. I have 17000 miles on this car and the wear and road noise was unbearable . I knew the Michelins were the best tire out there. I purchased 195/55/R16 87v for my mini. What a difference the tire makes. No more noise and better all around tire. I am very satisfied with the Michelin brand. Always is the best tire for the money !!!

Comfortable but Handling Suffers

I have a 2011 Honda Accord EX-L. It came with the Michelin Pilot MXM4 tires. 50K mile tire, I got 62K from them (tires had 3-5 mm left). They made my Accord feel like a sports car. I loved them, but I drive about 40K miles per year over no so great rural TX roads in the course of doing my job, so I thought maybe I should get something designed for longer life and improved comfort. Thus, I replaced my Pilots with the Premier A/S tires. These tires certainly are very quiet and comfortable, but they are a little scary in the handling department. Keep in mind where I came from, but the tire definitely has some stability issues if you have to make a quick evasive move around an object in the road. I thought I was going to end up in a ditch doing something I had done many times with the Pilot tires (South TX roads are full of retreads and other debris from Mexican trucks). Overall I'm happy with the quiet comfort, but I'm considering returning them based on the cornering and other handling characteristics. I don't know if it's my imagination, but it feels like my car doesn't accelerate as well either. I think the Pilots grabbed the road faster and didn't give as much, so the car moved when I said go. It's probably not a fair comparison, but I thought the review might be helpful for those considering a similar transition. You are giving up more handling in the compromise than you might expect.

Saved a life today!!

Purchased a full set of tires on April 17th, 2015. I drive a mountain highway (the Ortega Highway) that has many blind corners. Came around a blind corner and a deer was right in front of me (broadside). Slammed on my brakes while steering around the deer. Didn't hit the deer!! Absolutely no tire screeching, while maintaining full control of my car. Thank you, thank you Michelin!!! You got to get these tires!!!!

A good high-end tire

Have a new set of Premier A/S on my 2011 Nissan Altima V-6. Better traction that the Bridgestones I replaced and about as quiet. Lost about 1-2 MPG. They are better in the wet than previous. Hoping they will hold up well past 40,000 miles which is all I got out of the Bridgestones.

These are by far the best tires I have ever owned !

I"m not an employee!! These are phenomenal tires! They ride beautifully, grep tenaciously, handle to my limit of bravery, and are so predictable. I'm a very agressive driver in my BMW (but safe), but I've met my match with these tires. I can't believe how well they do on ice! Of course there's a down side..... I think they're wearing very quickly. A year or so into purchase and I've been told they are 50% done. That's ok. With the confidence I have in these, I'll buy again immediately.

good performer with low milage

Driving Lexus ES 350 with Premier A/S w/ 27,000 highway miles in Colorado. The tread is 60% off, and it looks like, the tread will be gone at about 35,000 miles vs 60,000 indicated by Michelin. Dry , wet , noise and cornering performance are excellent as typical for Michelin tires in general. Light snow and particularly mushy snow driving is mediocre. I would not take it to the mountains unfortunately! I plan to trade in for Michelin Defender ( more aggressive tread) or LTX ( similar to A/S) to get a better snow/winter performance. Otherwise Michelin please advise.

Best Tire

I just got these tires on, so this comment is not going to be on how long the tire will last. (eventhough, I know they will last long) I replaced a set of almost new tires from another brand. I have to say, as soon as I started driving, I noticed a night and day difference on the noise. These tires are very quiet yet also very comfortable with the handling. It is winter and full of snow in Manitoba here, but they feel like winter tire under wet conditions. I will never use any other brand for my car again. I recomand to spend a little more on the tires, they will be so worth it in the long run, and you worry less and last longer.

Excellent Tire, Quiet, High Gas Mileage, Smooth.

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.
