Awesome Tire!!!!

Immediately replaced the OE Continental tires with the MICHELIN Primacy Tour A/S on a new 2019 VW Atlas and they did not disappoint. The ride comfort, noise level and road handling capabilities were outstanding…wet and dry. Southern climate, so not much experience with snow/slush. Tires now have about 45,000 miles with perfect wear. I do, however, lower inflation pressures slightly below factory specs, as I am not operating at at max GVWR. I will be replacing soon with the same.

Performs Well as Advertised

These came stock on my '23 ioniq 5 Limited AWD. I feel like they deserve a 4 star rating for a touring tire as they do well in the Nebraska/Colorado area. The noise below 45mph is negligible, but increases significantly at highway speeds. It's common in an EV to have to turn up the radio at higher speeds and these are no exception. To be fair, no tire will save you from the concrete block roads of Nebraska. They performed decently in a snow storm WITH SNOW MODE OFF, and with snow mode on, I had no issues getting through 2-4 inches of snow at ~35mph. Overall pleased with this tire at 5000 miles.

Terrible

Absolutely terrible tires! Loud, noisy terrible traction and if you drive in winter good luck! Very disappointing that even in AWD at slow speeds I’d be sliding and can’t turn. Came on my new suv I bought and at 36,000 miles they need replacing already.

Exceptionally uncomfortable tires on rough roads

Purchased in 2022 and these ride exceptionally smooth and quiet in great roads but on rough and bumpy roads they are the worst for this price. You can feel everything on the road and my poor car stares at me! If you are living in a place with super good roads, hands down you will be happy with these..

Great Tires for Tesla Model S – Quiet and Comfortable!

I recently bought the Primacy™ Tour A/S tires for my Tesla Model S, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! The ride is incredibly smooth, and the tires are very quiet, which makes for a peaceful driving experience. They handle really well and provide excellent comfort, even on longer drives. So far, everything is going great, and I'm really impressed with the performance. Highly recommend these tires for anyone looking to enhance their car's ride quality!

<30k Miles... Disappointing

These came on a new Ford Bronco Sport I purchased in late June of 2021. Already need new tires for winter. They didn't even make it past 30,000 miles of highway driving. Very disappointed in the product. Was excited when I bought the vehicle and saw Michelin tires on it because I thought they were the highest quality... now I need to buy all new tires. They didn't make it anywhere close to the 55,000 mile tread warrantee.

Tread wears out

I bought my Buick Envision in Nov, 2018 and it came with these tires. Have done proper maintenance on my vehicle. Found out that at 62000 my tires are shot...all four need replacing. I am so disappointed with these tires, Will not be replacing with Michelin tires.

No tread left at 30,000 miles

I purchased a new Kia Sportage in 2022. I recently noticed the tires seem to have no tread, and during my recent oil change service, the dealer stated I needed new tires - AT UNDER 30,000 miles!!! I'm currently at 31,000 and don't feel safe driving them with so little tread. Very disappointed. I will be replacing with Goodyear tires.

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.
