Primacy Tour A/S

I was originally sold Cross Climate 2 tires for my 2021 Lexus 350. Those tires are for snow climates or a non-luxury car. I immediately noticed my car rode rough (it always drives smooth!). I contacted Michelin customer care because the store I went to did not want to exchange or refund at first. Michelin customer care was fantastic and walked me through to process to get my tires replaced under the 60 day satisfaction guarantee—no hassle. I got Primacy Tour A/S replacement tires which was recommended for my car. Now, it rides like butter again. Thank you Michelin!!!

Imppressed

I bought these as a replacement for my Michelin Premier tires that were original equipment on my RX. The OEM tires were out of stock in Michelin or Bridgestone. I searched for weeks before I found these Tour A/S. I was not impressed with the OEM tires. They lasted only 30K not the 60K they advertised. The rolling resistance of these Tour A/S is incredible and I expect they will outperform and out last the the OEM tires on my Lexus.

Replace 2 of 4 at just 20,000 miles

High wear at Very low milage. These tires were installed at the factory on my 2024 Genesis GV80. I just took the car in for its 20,000 mile service. The dealership recommends replacement of two of the four tires due to low tread. I can't believe a Michelin brand tire rated at 55,000 miles has low tread at 20,000 miles. Many of the reviews say the tires are notorious for a short life and I have to agree. I will not be replacing these tires with Michelin that's for sure.

Pre Mature wear, No grip at all in winter months.

Primacy Tour A/S came stock on my 2020 Kia Telluride. Less than 40000km or 24800 miles and they need to be replaced. Worst all season tire I have ever used. They had little to no grip in the winter months on an all wheel drive vehicle and with this pre mature wear I would definitely look elsewhere.

High spots and highway vibration

I purchased the Primacy Tour A/S ZP tires in a 245/40 19 size. This is a nice tire overall and matches with my Infiniti Q50S AWD nicely. I have about 30,000 miles on my odometer. However, I noticed a faint vibration sound at highway speeds. There is no real vibration felt, but I fear time will only make this condition worse. The tires were Road Force balanced at time of purchase. The vibration sound got worse over time and after about 1000 miles I took my car in to my dealer describing and recording the noise I was hearing in the cabin. We inspected the shocks, the front and rear drive shafts, the wheel bearings, checked the run-out of the wheels themselves and they are running true. We put the tires on their Road Force balancer and the weights were spot on. The car was brought in a second time to the dealer at a later date as the vibration sound on the highway was slightly more noticeable and was distracting my driving experience, pulsing anywhere from 12-16 times a second. Again, we looked at all suspension and driveline components, put a stethoscope on all rotating sections of the drivetrain and bearings, and the car checked out solid, checked out by the dealer's master mechanic on this second visit. So, the car was lowered from the hoist, a second mechanic got in the drivers seat and the car was lifted again. With the car started and running about 15 mph while up on the hoist. Being AWD all of the tires were spinning in the air. We could see that as the tires rotated, each tire had a high spot, perhaps at a seam? The left front was the worst but each of the tires had that one spot that was high with the rest of the tire surface running true. All of this pointed to the tires being responsible for that pulsing sound heard on the highway. Going back to the tire dealer, they graciously agreed to replace all of the tires, however they are currently on backorder. For the meantime, they offered to put the tires on the Road Force balancer while we wait for backordered tires to become available, Being the third time these tires have been on the balancer, they once again were spot on and no adjustments were needed. I am concerned that the replacement tires will have the same issue. I would have switched over to some other tire, but it is very difficult to find a Run Flat tire in this size, with a 94 load rating, a V or better speed rating, and a tread width comparable to the OEM tires. While the Bridgestone Driveguard would be the next best replacement tire, its main drawback is the tire width is only 7 inches compared to the OEM Dunlop SP Sport 5000 tires at 8.7 inches. That seems like a huge compromise for cornering traction. (btw, the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 tires are by far the worst tires in every measurable category, and of any tires I have driven on in my 40+ years of car ownership. Are you listening Dunlop?) Ideally, I would have preferred to purchase a 245/40 19 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, or any other premium performance Michelin All Season tire. However Michelin does not offer any other Run Flat tires in this size. I prefer to keep the run flat tires as no spare or spare mount is built into the car. Going back to the replacement tires, they will again be the Primacy A/S ZP. I hope they don't also have those high spots. If they do, I have no idea what other tire I would run. Michelin, you have an opportunity to provide a 245/40 19 tire as a replacement for 2014-2021 Infiniti Q50's and other brands for Ultra High Performance Run Flats, and hopefully without the high spots like that with the Primacy. I will say this though, the Primacy is a very respectable tires on many fronts. Outside of the high spot issue, the tire is impressively quiet, the drive is comfortable yet performance is available when asked, the cornering is exceptional even when pushing the car in the roundabouts, has excellent road manners over expansion cracks, very good in wet and dry, and frankly a great tire for those looking for a capable tire for general and spirited driving on the back roads. The high spots take away from what would be rated as an excellent tire.

Tire unraveled while driving.

This review is not intended to bash Michelin as they are a reputable company and brand. However, I believe that it is important to note that I was able to get 53000 miles before my tire began to unravel while driving. This is a hazard that should be made aware of to prevent life threatening injuries or worse.

Life much lower than stated

I had these tires on new 2021 XT-5 Premium Luxury. With 33000 miles, I have - 9mm of brake disc on all 4 sides - No need for wheel alignment - no pulling on one side or uneven wear - Lifetime average of 23.7 miles / gallon on 2L Turbo engine - All four tires are left with 4/32 tread. This means all other parameters show an excellent driving record, still the tires are worn out much earlier than expected

Quiet and grippy

I needed new tires for my Mazda CX five, and on the recommendation of the dealership, I purchased these high end Michelin tires. It was amazing the difference. The tires are so quiet, and very well gripped in wet conditions, and beautiful on the car. They are premium in quality, and so far I am exceptionally pleased with them. It really is like driving a new car, after finally replacing the OEM tires that came with the car. And Michelin backs these tires with a wonderful warranty, and I can replace them or have them serviced at any Mazda dealership. I highly recommend them.

Excellent Tires

They came with my 2019 Hyundai Tucson and I have had no issues with them at all. They are smooth and quiet and the treadmill wear has been excellent. Unfortunately I picked up a nail in one of them in a place that cannot be plugged and I cannot find a replacement tire to purchase anywhere. I'm told that they are sold out across Canada and not sure if they are continuing to be made. Hoping someone may be able to clarify. I would really love to by another and not have to mismatch.

Every thing I hoped for.

Purchased a new 2021 Buick Encore GX. 4 weeks ago. This SUV came with Hankook Kinergy GT tires. Took them off after 200 miles! These tires should never have been used on a Buick GX or any car. The Primacy Tour A/S made this new SUV Ride much smoother, quieter and handle better. Very pleased with these tires. Spent a lot of time doing research on tires, and these Michelin tires had great reviews. Feel much safer driving now.
