Thumbs down

These tires came new on my 2023 Frontier SV. I just purchased the vehicle off lease with 12k miles. Who would have ever expected a set of like new tires could make a vehicle unsafe. Traction is really bad as states in other reviews and they make the vehicle wander on certain grooved roads. They are unacceptable in the wet and cold. Pulling out on a hill into traffic I was expecting to go but just spun.I’m scared to even think of driving in the snow with these. In the past I had a set of Michelin trail tires that were great. What went on with this design. I’m surprised the Michelin name would be allowed on these.

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.

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.

Not a good tire for a truck that see gravel roads

These tires came as standard on my 2022 Nissan Frontier, I got a puncture in one in less than 3000km's of driving. The tire was ruined. I was not offroading, i was driving on a regular gravel road. If you stick to paved surfaces exclusively they may be ok.

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.

Too Soft for off-pavement

Came on my 2022 Nissan Frontier. I Took it off highway on a graveled county road for the first time with less than 2400 miles on them. A rock punched up right through the top of the tread and ruined the tire. I spend a lot of miles off pavement. I feel these tires are cheap (dealer provided) and too soft for me to trust off pavement. I put on my spare ( a smaller 16" rimmed tire of different manufacturer than Michelin) and crippled back to nearest tire store. They sold me a Michelin Defender LTX M/S to replace the ruined Primacy LTX, I'm hoping the dealer will now step up and at least put 3 defender LTX on my Frontier and replace the under sized spare with the 4th defender and a new 17" rim

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.

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.
