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.

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.

Every thing I hoped for.

Purchased a new 2021 Buick Encore GX. 4 weeks ago. This SUV came with Hankook Kinergy GT tires. Took them off after 200 miles! These tires should never have been used on a Buick GX or any car. The Primacy Tour A/S made this new SUV Ride much smoother, quieter and handle better. Very pleased with these tires. Spent a lot of time doing research on tires, and these Michelin tires had great reviews. Feel much safer driving now.

Just Okay

This Primacy tire came on our new 19 Ford Edge SEL. We have 25,000 miles on this tire, driven exactly 4 years to date. June 19-June 23. I keep the tire pressure from 36-38psi [Cold] year round, in our lower Wisconsin weather, with even tire wear. I have my own compressor in the garage. There is just my wife and I and both retired since 2010. The tread wear bars are not quite fully exposed. This November, due to our Wisconsin winter season, these Primacy tires will have to be replaced. I might say these tires will reach 30,000 to fully expose the wear bars, at best. I was not expecting a whole lot from these tires in the off set. I once had 55,000 mile warranty tires and were good for 35,000 miles. This specific tire did not meet my grade. You be the judge.

Range disappointment

These tires came stock on my 2021 Ford Mach-E. Tires are now completely worn at 55K and need to be replaced. There's no way they would ever make it to the 90,000 kilometer range claims. I am quite disappointed as Michelin has always treated me well on all my past vehicles. I'm now obviously in the market for replacement tires and my confidence in the brand is now in question. I also work in the transportation field and I'm responsible for a large fleet of truck/trailer tires which typically we would purchase Michelin but at this point I'm not so sure we should.

The Best

Have now had these tires for more then a month. They are the smoothest and quietest tires I have ever had. I realized this in just the first 100 feet of use! My last set of tires began to chunk, they were not Michelin. Had these tires because could not get Michelins and regretted getting them. But now back to Michelins, and enjoying them on my Volt.

Unable to get replacement

Bought these tires only 10 months ago, needing one replaced already. Hit a nail and am told it is slit and needs replaced. Problem is that we cannot find one in stock. It has been over a week and I need my car. Tires are not even a year old, why can’t we get replacement. These tires are loud and can be rough riding. At first rotation I was told they are wearing uneven. Took it to dealership and was told alignment is fine. I feel like these tires are lacking and have caused me to possibly reconsider buying Michelin in the future.

Exactly what I wanted

My 2016 Honda Accord V6 sedan came with Primacy MXV4s. They were ok but they weren’t very responsive and they didn’t like getting pushed hard during cornering. The Primacy Tours are much better. My car feels more “planted” and it handles better, The ride is a little firmer but not harsh. The new tires are 2 pounds heavier and I assume the extra weight went into stiffer sidewalls, yielding better handling but a little stiffer ride. The tires are quiet except on rough road surfaces. The bottom line is that the Tours feel sportier but still very civilized, which is exactly what I wanted.

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!

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.
