Disappointed! Barely lasted 25k miles on my Tesla Model

These were the stock (OE) tires that came with my Tesla Model 3 (Dual Motor + Long Range), and I'm extremely disappointed with them. The only reason these tires even deserve 1-star is because they never blew out, and were fairly quiet (due to the acoustic foam inside). But I WOULD NOT pay money to buy these tires again, as they barely lasted 25k miles—well short of the 45k mile lifespan that Michelin touts. When I inspected my tires at 20k miles, I noticed that all four of them were measuring between 3/32" and 4/32". However, being on a tight budget (due to some unforeseen circumstances), I decided to hold-off on replacing them, thinking they'd survive another 5k miles while I saved enough money to buy some new ones. At 25k miles, I took my Model 3 in for routine maintenance, and had the Tesla Service Center inspect all four tires—one of them measured at 1/32", and the other three were COMPLETELY BALD at 0/32". Completely unacceptable for tires that are supposed to last 45k miles! But, honestly, even when these tires were new (at 9/32" tread) their performance in wet weather was lackluster, at best. Especially in the snow, where my Model 3 would frequently slip and slide—even though it has four-wheel drive, and a center-heavy battery. I just CANNOT recommend the Primacy MXM4s to anyone. And I've already told several of my friends (who also own Model 3s) to steer clear from them! I really expected better from Michelin.

very surprised

These tires came standard on my 2011 BMW X3. I'm old school and was very concerned about RFT usage. It unnerved me to not have a spare on-board. I have about 7,000 miles on the vehicle and am pleasantly surprised all around. The car handles like a big cat, no surprises, no squeals, just a on-rails feeling in sweepers, on the Interstate, in rain, in hot and cold. Last winter was a non-winter here, so I have no experience with these puppies in slush, snow or on ice. But so far, so good. I've been to the Smoky Mountains and back, on dirt, gravel and paved roads. No issues, knock wood. Now if BMW would only install a dipstick to pacify this Boomer, I'd be even happier. Electronic oil level indicators? Bah, humbug!

Top notch

Although I drive a Civic Si, my driving habits are conservative. These tires corner well, have excellent braking characteristics in wet and dry, are quiet and well-behaved on the interstate, and look great. I've only had these tires on the vehicle for a couple of months, so I cannot comment on their capability in a New Hampshire winter. During the worst of the winter, however, I switch to dedicated snow tires, anyway. I can't think of anything I've disliked about these tires, other than one seems to be losing pressure at the rate of about 2 psi a week. I'll keep a close eye on it although a detailed examination of the tire off the vehicle revealed no obvious leaks or punctures.

I'm sold on Michelin

I purchased a set of michelins 1988 right after our per owned car hydroplaned with my wife and two small children. I promised myself that I would never again skimp on tires. Since that time I have ran Michelin' exclusively on my two BMW's and my Acura.... I have never been disappointed. Chuck Diesel A completely satisfied Customer

My Tires My Grandmothers

I recently purchased these tires and I am very impressed with them. I've had Yokahoma, Pirelli, and Goodyear and these tires are amazing. I have a V6 Honda Accord Sedan and my car has never driven smoother and quieter. I work for a large utility company and they also stock all of our company vehicles with Michelins. My Grandmother has a Cadillac CTS 4 wheel drive and she also loves her Michelin tires. I will always stick with this tire just as it sticks to the road when I take on ramps at 60mph and drive over pot holes with comfort!!!! THANK YOU for making me love my car again.

Great Tires

These were OEM on Lexus ct 200h and I was very impressed when they were new. They were quiet and handled very well from the beginning (I am pretty hard of hearing, 'quiet' is a relative term) but most impressive is their handling when worn. I live in Washington State so drive in wet conditions regularly and these handled rain and standing water, at all speeds, extremely well when up to 95% worn. I have 58k miles on them now and trying to get 1-2k more. Not sure how to judge their assistance with fuel efficiency but will say that over the life of the tires I avg. 45-46mpg. Will definitely replace with the same.

Quite and smooth ride through out tire use.

I bought the 4 tire set 03-24-2015, 9 years of service and received 33,068 miles of use. My car is a 2000 MB E430 Sport. My previous set of Michelins only lasted 23,803 miles; e.g. different Michelin Model, which didn’t give smooth ride and not quite over complete 6 year use period.

Excellent tires!

Came with my new 2017 Acura RDX. I travel over 70 miles a day to the office on highway and country roads. I am just now looking to replace these tires because I have over 70,000 miles on them. They still have tread! In fact, I picked up a nail on my way home from work, had a very nice Highway Patrol Officer fix my tire, and he even commented, they still had plenty of tread. I'm really not sure why others have complained about the mileage. Maybe it's the way they drive, or their vehicle, but these are honestly the best tires I have ever had. By the way, my husband tells me I am very hard on my brakes/rotors, (and I'm not sure if that would affect tires), but these tires have out lasted their warranty and continue to provide a safe, comfortable driving experience!

Good mileage Good handling

Most of my driving is in town, I drive a hybrid rated at 40mpg combined and I get 43.5 average on these tires. My car has very quick handing and these tires hug the road great. The wear an tear on these tires appears to be about normal but with only 14K miles it is probably to early to make an accurate prediction.

Disappointed

Within a month of having a new set of tires installed, one of the tires developed a bulge in the sidewall. I had it replaced and paid a usage fee for the one month of wear on the old tire. Understandable, so no big deal. After about 5000 miles the tires started generating quite a bit of road noise that continued to increase over the life of the tire. The car was checked for alignement, etc with no problems found. I recently replaced the tires with a non-Michelin product and I can now comfortably talk with passengers in the car. very disappointed in your product.
