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.

Very Disappointed

I bought a new 2021 Chevy Blazer, came with Primacy Tour A/S. The Blazer has 25,600 miles and the tires are rotated by the Chevy Dealership every oil change. I don't drive the Blazer much, as it is my wife's. We received less than 2 inches of snow this weekend, as was driving the Blazer I was sliding all over the road. The traction from stop to accelerate in AWD is terrible. I was traveling about 20 MPH and slide 25 feet through an intersection. I pulled over and examined the tires, these is really no tread left land the outer parts of the tires are rounded. These are nowhere close to a 55,000-mile tire.

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.

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.

I bought my first set of Michelins to replace the factory ones on my 1980 Buick Regal and have had Michelins on various cars, suvs and light trucks ever since. I don’t recall ever having problems with any of them through the years. My experience is they run quietly and smoothly,and last longer than other brands I have tried. Definately my favorite tire.

Nice road characteristics, but treadwear nowhere near the promised miles.

These tires ride well and quietly, and they also improved the handling of my Lexus ES330. These V-rated tires provided handling and cornering that was better than the Michelin H-rated tires my car had previously. The only major drawback is that although they came with a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty, they were worn to replacement-needed level after a bit less than 13,000 miles (and had been properly inflated, wore evenly, and rotated every 6,000 miles). Michelin's "fine print," which I had not seen until now, limits treadwear warranty to specified miles OR 6 years, whichever comes first. I bought these before the pandemic, and did not travel for 3 years, yet Michelin's "clock was ticking," and when I called today to request pro-rated coverage, they said no. So much for "customer goodwill."

Totally Satisfied With Michelin Tires

Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires are original equipment on my 2021 GMC Acadia Denali which I purchased new. The tires now have traveled 22K miles and still perform like the day I bought the vehicle. The tread wear is minimal or what I would consider normal. The tires remain quiet, handle well in all weather conditions including Minnesota snow and ice, and I must say these are exceptionally smooth riding tires. I have owned upwards of 50 vehicles in my life and have driven well over 2 million miles. The Michelin Primacy Tour A/S is among the best tire I’ve owned. I also have a 2020 Yukon Denali that rides on Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 tires and these are top of the line in performance and ride as well.

Good Tires, But not 55,000 mile Tires

I bought these tires for my 2017 Honda Ridgeline after the factory tires wore out at 35,000. I now have 78,000 miles and need new tires, so I didn't get 55,000 miles out of them and I am not wild driver, more professional and cautious driver who rotates ever 4,000 miles. Maybe because I live in a hot climate they wore out at 10,000 miles sooner. I thought they gave a good ride, were quiet, and handled well in the heavy rains of Florida. I bought another set even though I know they will not last 55,000 miles because they seemed to stop well and had the other qualities I liked. I do a lot of highway driving at 75mph and feel safe with them.

Lots of tire noise

Michelin has been my only tire choice for years. I currently have four vehicles, all with Michelin tires. I recently installed the Primacy Tour A/S and they are significantly noisier than any of the other Michelins (LT, Pilot 4s, Defender T) on my other cars. They handle well and are smooth, as I've come to expect from Michelin.

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.
