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.

Superb

2019 Lincoln Nautilus, had a factory Continental tire where the foam insert separated from the inside of the tire causing imbalance. had them rebalanced once not knowing what was happening, within 200km's of rebalance it bunched up in a different place causing imbalance again. Tire shop removed and this is where we saw the problem. Promptly ordered new Primacy tires. What a completely different driving experience, handling, comfort, quiet are absolutely superb with this tire, there is no equal. On every vehicle I own once factory tires are worn I always replace with Michelin. There is no substitute!!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Low mileage not worth your money

This tire came with my Lincoln I have 8,000 miles on a 55,000 mile tire and they are already halfway through the life of the tire. I have done 2 rotations on the tires so they are all are at 5/32nds. I will be lucky if the tire will last 2 more months .

Horrible ride

I bought these in 2021 and will never purchase again. They ride horrible, especially over any slightly rough-ish roads or bumps it feels like you’re hitting your actual wheel. I have had them checked several times to make sure they are inflated correctly and good condition because the ride is so bad and have been told the tires are fine they are just not smooth riding. I have them on my 2016 Honda Accord and cannot wait to change them out!!

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.
