I have been putting Michelin Defenders on all my vehicles over 15 years & I usually get 80 to 90k on my tires but not this time. I bought 2025 Navigator & it came with Michelin Primacy & I was really exited abt these tires. Something new & will probably last long. In 9k Miles tires ripped on side, nail 2x & already had to replace one tires. These tires are too soft & definitely not good for NYC roads. I think Michelin needs to do better.

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.

2 of the 4 leak like a sieve at 12,000 miles. Came on new 2024 Nissan Frontier. Multiple tiny leaks in 2 of the tires without punctures. Can’t believe Michelin would put their name on them. Can believe Nissan would choose to put them on their vehicles. Only 42,000 miles short of guaranteed mileage. Worthless.

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.

on a mileage of 13k, my rear right tire blew on the inside. There were no impacts. There was no damage on the rim or under the bottom. I conclude that these poor wheels are specially installed on new cars at a counter price, because... they are absolutely miserable. shame on michelin

I purchased a brand new off the trailer 2022 Kia Telluride EX in March 2022, which had these tires installed OEM. The tires rode just fine, but I only made it to 30K miles before the treads have worn down requiring replacement. I am not looking forward to replacing these so soon and may be looking for another brand.

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.

I have only driven in my new Telluride twice. Both times the tires "make the vehicle wander on certain grooved roads" as another review stated. I love the vehicle, I hate the tires. I was on a grooved road for only a few minutes and it made me feel nauseous and as if the vehicle is going to go off the road. There is no way I could keep these on my vehicle as I do not feel safe.

I've had these tires on my 2020 Silverado right from the factory and put 78,000 miles and they still have more life left. I expect to get around 85,000 miles out of these before replacing with another set of Primacy LTX. These tires are quiet and have delivered fuel economy exceeding EPA estimates.

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.
