Terrible hollow droning sound

On my dealers recommendation, I purchased 4 of these in 21” for my 2020 Volvo XC60. Immediately I noticed a hollow droning sound whenever I went over bumps on the road - it sounds like I’m driving on 4 over-inflated inner tubes. I came from a long history of a competitors tires and never had these sounds coming from the road. Highly unimpressed so far. I gave two stars due to the fact that when there is a smooth patch, they are very quiet indeed. The droning is so bad, I’ll definitively have to find another set to go with.

Smooth Quiet Ride

I just purchased these tires on July 1 and had them installed on July 10 when they arrived at the warehouse. Installation was pretty quick. My ride to work this morning on the highway felt like I had a new car. The ride was super quiet and super smooth. The weather is dry so I can't rate grip of tire in 'weather' conditions, however, they grip the road really well in normal climate. I will update review if anything changes. So far, so good!

Good experience, but worried about using tire sealant

I have about 50k km on my tires so far and they are wearing very well. The foam rubber does make a noticeable reduction in road noise, but it’s not huge. The one thing that concerns me now that I didn’t think about when I bought them is that my PHEV does not have a spare tire. Instead it has a bottle of tire sealant and an air pump to seal the tire sufficiently to get to a tire repair centre. I don’t know what kind of mess this might make with the foam insert and how this might affect patching the tire. I plan to use CAA to get a tow if possible instead of risking injecting the tire with sealant if I get a flat.

Best tires I have owned.

Smooth ride. Got 65 K out of original tires, (wear bars just visible, not prominant), just bought first replacements. Corners well whether dry, rain or snow. Traction good in all codotions. In snow you just have to know how to drive in snow and limitations of any tires in snow. More quiet than any tires I have had on other SUVs.

Whomp, whomp, whomp!

These are the OEM tires on my 2022 Acura TLX and noise is intolerable. Whomp, whomp whomp and the ride is rough unless you are on the smoothest of asphalt. Current mileage is 28000 kms but noise has been present for at least the last 10000kms. Just ruins a nice car. Tire size is P255/40 R19 96W

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

Happycustomer

I bought my first set of Michelins to replace the factory ones on my 1980 Buick Regal and have had Michelins on various cars, suvs and light trucks ever since. I don’t recall ever having problems with any of them through the years. My experience is they run quietly and smoothly,and last longer than other brands I have tried. Definately my favorite tire.

Poor Durability - Big Hassle

We purchased a new 2022 Kia Telluride equipped with OEM Michelin tires, and unfortunately, our experience has not met the quality we’ve come to expect from the brand. One tire has had a slow leak since day one, requiring air every 3–4 weeks. Despite multiple inspections by the dealership and tire shops — including remounting and leak checks — no visible issue has been found, and the problem persists. Additionally, we were informed that the tires showed excessive wear with less than 20,000 miles on them, which is far below what we anticipated from Michelin. As longtime customers who have trusted Michelin for durability and performance, this has been a frustrating and disappointing experience. We’re hoping Michelin will stand behind their product and help resolve this under warranty.

Worn out at 27,000 Miles-(warrenty was 55, 000)

I brought my Ford Explorer into my local Ford Dealer for routine oil change this week and was disappointed to hear all 4 of my tires need to be replaced. My car has been in to this dealer for all routine maintenance since I purchased it. One of the 4 tires were at 3 32nds and needing immediate attention. They ended up putting my spare tire on in the interim. Scarry as I have to littles that ride with me. My Explorer only has 27,000 miles, the tires suggest a limited 55,000-mile warranty. I am not even halfway there yet, and they need to be replaced. I have the Michelin Primacy A/S 255/55/R20 V110 -Definitely would not recommend.

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
