Excellent tire for your great car

Primacy tour as is one of the most comfortable tires in the market. It is very quiet on smooth roads but on rough roads you can hear some noises. I have tried other brands including the newest Turanza EV, Quiettrack, Driveguard on the same car but Primacy tour is the most comfortable and quietest of them. It absorbs the bumps and keeps you comfortable. Some may not like it as you can hear some noises on rough roads but in no way it disrupts the conversation inside the vehicle. you better try other tires and see for yourself the difference.

Quality first

These replaced the Michilin Defender on my 2018 Highlander One day in, quiet and comfortable. Got 40k on the defenders. Will see how they handle the NE winter! These were my second choice because I could not get the Continental ContiCross contact LX Sport that are on my RAV4, the top rated tire and amazing...if you can get them.

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.

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!!

Disappointed

These tires are on my Genesis G80 and only have 26,000 miles on the car and told that they are at end of life….im a stay at home mom, I do not drive much. Im a lifetime Michelin tire owner and disappointed that they haven’t even lasted 1/2 of expected miles. I can’t continue with these tires if I need a new set so often

Great Tires

I am very pleased with these tires. I am surprised to read reviews about the tires wearing out quickly. I have almost 30,000 miles on my Genesis GV 70 and and have lots of tread left. I drive a combination of highway and city. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because I wish road noise was a little quieter.

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.

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.

Smooth quiet ride for 30K

These tires were so much quieter and smoother than the factory tires. I thought I would get 40,00 miles even though rated for much more. I was wrong. I only got 30,00 miles. Its a trade off. One tire developed sidewall bubble. Another blew out and the replacement tire blew out. Bad driving? Coincidence? Not so good quality? Maybe all of the above. Good value? - probably not. They're expensive but they do ride nice.

Horrible Harmonic humming noise emitting from the new tires.

I had these tires installed on my 2019 Lexus NX300. The tires have been balanced twice and aligned. I have an annoying hum at 30mph. I can feel it through the steering wheel. I totally dissatisfied with these new tires. My tire shop doesn't have an answer. I cannot continue to drive with tires that emit this hum.
