Michelin does it again.

The primacy A/S tires came standard on our 2020 Rav Hybrid limited. We currently have 32,000 miles on them or 54,000 Kms. We have done regular rotations and tires are at 6/32 depth. Our hope is to get 60,000 miles on them. The ride is very smooth and they are very quiet. By the way, we also tow a small teardrop trailer with them. I would not recommend this tire for snow and ice conditions. Our advise, rotate tires often, check pressure and do not turn the steering wheel unless car is moving and these tires will last.

Nice handling, but traction and treadwear is limited...

I purchased a set of 215/55/17 in Oct 2018 for my ES 350 with 119K miles. They were only fair as an all season tire here in MN. At 151K miles these tires were worn down to the wear bars and I had to replace them last month with a set of Goodyear Weather ready tires. The Michelin Defenders I've had previously gave much better life than the 32K miles these did.

Michelin tires are the best tires hands down

After getting 4 new tires my vehicle is a dream to drive. My wife and I wanted to keep the same tires that we had when we bought our vehicle new 2 years ago, so there was never a decision as to the brand of tire. After getting 4 new tires though the vehicle has the handling it did when we first bought the car again. Safety and performance was our major concern and we are elated. Thanks Michelin

Very disappointed worn out in 2.5 years at 35,500 miles

Very dissatisfied with the tread wear of these tires. Bought car in September of 2020, A 2020 Hyundai Tucson Sport, I have owned the car for 2.5 years and 35,500 miles and it has been religiously serviced by the Dealer. Came with OE Michelin Primary Tour A/S 245/45/19 tires. Thought the Michelin band was the #1 tire company but fooled me, currently these tires are sitting at 4/32’s of tread left and will have to be replaced after the next tire rotation. Pretty sad for a tire at should last about 5 years and 55,000 miles, Plus my commute is nothing aggressive some highway and city driving a total of 24 miles a day. When the time comes which will be very shortly will be looking other brands other than Michelin for replacement

Dangerous tires.

Have this on my Genesis GV70 as factory tires with 9500 miles on it now after two years of light driving. Leave in Colorado and recently had two consecutive snow storms. This tires put my life at risk by almost spinning off highway in a light snow covered road. With great effort I managed to keep it from not spining 360 and not hitting the median or running off the cliff. Scarry and dangerous. Decided to park it till spring and drive my old truck. It is a lease so not worth to spend money for half year left. Never had this issues with BFG or Goodyear.

Great life, other reviews probably just cannot drive

These came factory on our RAV4. These tires did just fine in Idaho for the last 3 years (51,000 miles) in snow, ice, rain, and dry conditions. No idea where these other people are getting their reviews, I think its the fact they cannot drive. My wife had zero issues in the snow and rain as well. We are due for a new set and will be replacing with these.

Bad tread wear

These tires came on my new 2022 chevy Equinox premier. Bought the car last year car has 26,000 miles and the dealership told me yesterday I need 4 new tires. And the dealership won’t stand behind them. Absolutely disappointed in the tread wear. I’ll never purchase Michelin tires.

Nice road characteristics, but treadwear nowhere near the promised miles.

These tires ride well and quietly, and they also improved the handling of my Lexus ES330. These V-rated tires provided handling and cornering that was better than the Michelin H-rated tires my car had previously. The only major drawback is that although they came with a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty, they were worn to replacement-needed level after a bit less than 13,000 miles (and had been properly inflated, wore evenly, and rotated every 6,000 miles). Michelin's "fine print," which I had not seen until now, limits treadwear warranty to specified miles OR 6 years, whichever comes first. I bought these before the pandemic, and did not travel for 3 years, yet Michelin's "clock was ticking," and when I called today to request pro-rated coverage, they said no. So much for "customer goodwill."

Tire wears out

These tires came on my 2021 Kia Telluride that I bought new. At the last oil change/maintenance check the tread was at 4/32 and I was told I’d need tires before winter. The car only has 26000 miles on it. Seems ridiculous they didn’t last longer. I would not recommend.

Poor wear

After just 10,700 miles (12 months) the tires are at a 7 on the tread gauge. I have had 3 incidents of road debris with the last one requiring and “shaved” replacement. Apparently the tires grip so well they suck up the road debris, I would never purchase this type of tire again.
