Primacy LTX does not appear to be a good tire

Just bought a 2024 Santa Cruz (small pick-up) with these on it. First day, I barely scraped a sidewalk and the sidewall tore right through. I have never had that happen with any car or truck I ever owned or drove in my life. Then I happen to see others have the same issue with lack of durability! I need this resolved by Michelin.

No good

I bought my new grand Cherokee and I thought for weeks something was wrong with my brand new jeep turns out these tires were doing the same thing but flattening out during cold temps and bouncing. It was horrible. I looking to buy new tires for this vehicle already.

Not good for grooved pavement

Primacy 265/65-18's came on a new Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 . All was good until first time on grooved pavement when it started rocking side to side with less than 500 miles on the vehicle I thought something was wrong with the truck this was not the case! As soon as vehicle left the grooved pavement handling returned to normal.

Look else where, trust the 1 star reviews

Just a gawd awful tire. Won't balance out, has vibrations from the tires being out of round, absolutely horrible snow/ice/rain traction. How Michelin could stand being this tire as bad as it is and still have it on the market baffles me. Only driven 3,000 miles on my 2022 Frontier (certified pre-owned) since I have owned it for a few months and now looking for a superior option!

Best tire for short trips

First off, this tire has a bad reputation. I think the reason people don’t like it, is they’re using it for the wrong purpose. The Primacy is not for off road use. It will perform well for long trips, but its life won’t last like the defenders. This is a fuel efficient tire-low rolling resistance. It is best suited for stop/start city driving, and/or highway driving if you are going to drive less than 55,000 miles in 5-7 years. 7 years is about as long as you want to keep any tire on the road; thanks to the sun and oxygen in the air.

Vibration issue on sanja roadways, recommend an OEM field road test.

From an engineering perspective, it would appear that the tire design was not considered when running on sanjas, (drainage cuts). The tread pattern runs parallel to these cuts and as it skips, from cut to solid, the friction fluctuates causing significant vibration in the perpendicular direction. This effect is further magnified when on ice and wet sanja roadways. It feels like the vehicle is hydroplaning. On non-sanja roadways, the tires perform as expected.

Surprised & Disappointed!

These Primacy LTX tires came on our 2021 Kia Telluride that we bought new. I recently noticed a puncture in the sidewall on one tire. It almost looks like the rubber split. It looks pretty deep but the tire is still holding air. This is my wife's car and she drives on the interstate a lot; Needless to say I'm concerned that this tire could burst at any moment. My wife says she hasn't hit anything that could cause this damage. Also, there isn't any damage to the wheel. After reading a lot of other reviews I'm compelled to think that this is a faulty tire design or quality escape from Michelin. Since this is a safety issue I have to replace this tire and given that our Kia is AWD, it looks like I'll be replacing all 4 tires that don't even have 30k miles on them. I had previously held Michelin in high regard but have lost confidence in them after this.

Echo 5 Tango, we certainly understand your concern. We would recommend having the tire inspected by an authorized Michelin retailer in your area, and have the dealer call us while you are there.

Great Features on this product but... maybe a version 2

These tires 245/50R20 came installed in my 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited. I already have 40K miles on it, and the handling on those are pretty amazing, on highway and paved roads, handling is excellent on curves and braking, is a smooth quiet tire and very precise while driving dry surfaces. Last winter went thru light snow in NC, VA for an All-Season tire was excellent. My only concern with this tire is Hydroplanning, they are average on wet surfaces and I want to replace them soon with a better Michelin product, so I will need Michelin advice in order to do that.

Poor handling and performance

Obtained these tires from the local Ford/Chrysler/jeep dealership. Severe balancing problems. Hard shaking from two of the tires at 65 mph or higher. Had two alignments and tires rebalanced twice. No improvement. Stay away from these tires! Dealership insists they are recommended as a Michelin replacement to original tires that came with the vehicle (Premier LTX, which are no longer made apparently), but these Primacy LTX are a very inconsistent tire.

Terrible in the snow. The "all weather" description is misleading.

Our first significant snowfall in NW Pa this weekend and I have gotten stuck once while other 4wd's were able to go through the same snow, and lost control twice due to spin out and inability to brake. These tires came on my new Silverado EV and I am heading to the Chevrolet dealers tomorrow to lodge an official complaint with General Motors and to replace these tires. I have been driving for 50 years with nine different trucks in all kinds of weather in NW Pa and I have never had a worse tire on a truck than these for performance in the snow. I cannot believe GM would put them on a vehicle as standard equipment.
