Horrible tires

These tires came stock with my 2025 Honda Pilot. First issue i had, is i had a front right tire strike a curb at fairly low speed and blow out. The piece of the tire that blew out was literally in the shape of a square!!! That is like some kind of design defect. The tire also handles poorly on wet pavement. Driving down the tollway to Dallas was sketchy as if i hit any type of standing water, i could feel the front tires lose traction. IM now looking for better replacements for these tires that are less than a year old on a new vehicle.

Terrible, dangerous tires

Do not buy these tires. Last winter I noticed my SRX seemed to be having a hard time on the snow and ice. My tires only has about 28,000 miles on them so I thought maybe it was just my vehicle that didn’t do well in the snow/ice. I never thought to have my tires checked since they are rated for 55,000! It’s wi ter again I can barely get going on the so n does not handle well at all. Tires have 38,000 miles on. Took to the mechanic and he said I need new tires already! Absolutely ridiculous for what I paid and the fact that they are supposed to go to 55,000 miles. I can’t afford this. I used to trust Michelin. I wish I would have read reviews. They should be recalled.

Durability problem

Being a lifelong Michigan resident, I've never been afraid to drive in poor weather conditions and I've never given much thought to my tires - until the last month when I had two blowouts on tires on a new BMW x1 with less than 3,000 miles on them. This is my second X1, and I never had an issue with the tires on my 2017 (a different tire brand). Seems like there must be a durability problem with this tire. Over the years I've periodically hit potholes and needed a realignment, but I've never blown a tire, and certainly not two within a month.

comfort, performance

I love the quiet, comfort, and luxury ride these tires provide. Yet, I am very unsatisfied with the tread life. My tires were completely worn at 50,000 miles. With the expense, expected quality, and performance am very disappointed. Michelin has always provided me top quality. My family, including my grandparents, have always owned Michelin and nothing else. My grandfather was in the tire business for 30 years and always owned Michelin. They need to make the life of the tire last longer. I have always exceeded the warranty rating on every Michelin tire that I have owned until now.

Great in dry/summer - impossible in any other weather.

On my 2024 GV80 3.5 AWD - These tires are excellent in the dry. Are quiet, comfortable and are the OE for this car. tires have 20k and a fair amount of tread left . Driving in MN and FL. Typically all seasons like this are fine. In the wet they are the scariest tire i've used in 40+ years of driving all types of vehicles in all kinds of weather. ANY slippery surface, light/heavy snow, rain, icy, the tramlining above 30 mph has made me change roads and trips. Car seems to be fighting itself from all 4 corners. glad i checked this site as i was going into the dealer to check tire options. traction control/snow mode/diff lock - nothing made difference.

77k Miles

Although I was pushing it at the end, my OEM Primacy Tour A/S tires got me to 77,600 miles! I also changed my brakes, OEM too, if that shows you a little into my driving style. The style fits the design of my Genesis G70 Prestige 2.0 AWD perfectly, and the road noise has gone away once again.

Merely acceptable summer performance, terrible in snow

These Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires came factory-installed on my 2025 Chevy Blazer RS, and they are completely unsafe for "real" Canadian winter conditions, especially in Alberta. In dry weather they're merely acceptable, but the moment temperatures dropped and snow appeared, they became outright dangerous. I had to drive over three hours in snowy conditions (Not whiteout conditions, just simply "winter" driving with some snow fall) with 3 passengers and could not safely exceed 70 km/h in a 110 km/h zone because the vehicle was constantly sliding and nearly fishtailing, even with light steering, gentle acceleration, and plenty of space. Traction was essentially nonexistent. The car never felt planted or predictable until the last bit of the drive where I was finally able to safely accelerate to the appropriate highway speed without feeling like I was putting my passengers in danger — there was A LOT of white-knuckle driving. For a tire marketed as “All-Season” and sold factory-equipped on a vehicle in Canada, this performance is honestly embarrassing. These tires provide zero confidence, zero winter grip, and zero margin for error once conditions are anything less than dry. If you live anywhere that sees snow, ice, or cold temperatures, avoid these tires entirely. I will be replacing them immediately, and will likely be going back to the CrossClimate2s

Poor mileage

I purchased these tires July 2019 and now after only 26,518 miles, they need to be replaced due to tread depth be 3/32. Although they are very quiet and have a smooth ride, they should last longer, considering the price. Very disappointed long-time customer.

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.
