Pre Mature wear, No grip at all in winter months.

Primacy Tour A/S came stock on my 2020 Kia Telluride. Less than 40000km or 24800 miles and they need to be replaced. Worst all season tire I have ever used. They had little to no grip in the winter months on an all wheel drive vehicle and with this pre mature wear I would definitely look elsewhere.

Great grip/bad feel

Bought these tires at end of August. Been trouble since they were put on. Road force after road force and sending back tires cause they fail and getting new ones not that much better. we just can't get the car to ride smooth. Tires do grip well though in rain and dry. City speed is smooth, highway speeds causes harsh ride, vibrations. An overall tiring drive.

DO NOT LAST

I purchased my 2020 Chevy Blazer with 18 miles on the car September 2020 and these tires came on it. I've had constant maintenance checks on my car and rotated tires each recommended mileage and my car just hit 32k miles and 1 tire has ZERO tread left and two others have barely any. I'm having to replace all of my tires at 32k miles and after having Michelin tires on every single one of my vehicles for the last 12 years - I do not recommend these tires and am contemplating moving away from Michelin on this next set.

Tires wear out much too quickly

I was told by the car dealership that all 4 tires needed replacement after just 15,500 miles. These are the original tires that car on my Ioniq5 when purchased new. The tires are H rated and carry a 50,000+ mile warranty so it is very concerning why they have worn so quickly. The tires appear to be aligned properly - there is no uneven treat wear. Being that these are on an EV, I do not drive aggressively as my interest is in range, not sharp turns or rapid acceleration. These tires are rather pricy so to get them replaced that often is just not cost effective. I will likely consider trying a different brand of tire that will, hopefully, last longer.

Superb

2019 Lincoln Nautilus, had a factory Continental tire where the foam insert separated from the inside of the tire causing imbalance. had them rebalanced once not knowing what was happening, within 200km's of rebalance it bunched up in a different place causing imbalance again. Tire shop removed and this is where we saw the problem. Promptly ordered new Primacy tires. What a completely different driving experience, handling, comfort, quiet are absolutely superb with this tire, there is no equal. On every vehicle I own once factory tires are worn I always replace with Michelin. There is no substitute!!!

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.

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.

Great customer service!

I got the primacy tour tires on my car with my lease, they wore out quickly at 26k miles, I called Michelin and was back and forth a few times because of the dealership and Michelin was so kind and responsive! Was upset with the tires but the customer service saved everything, helped resolve everything and has been such a pleasant experience!

Michelin tires are the best tires hands down

After getting 4 new tires my vehicle is a dream to drive. My wife and I wanted to keep the same tires that we had when we bought our vehicle new 2 years ago, so there was never a decision as to the brand of tire. After getting 4 new tires though the vehicle has the handling it did when we first bought the car again. Safety and performance was our major concern and we are elated. Thanks Michelin

Dangerous tires.

Have this on my Genesis GV70 as factory tires with 9500 miles on it now after two years of light driving. Leave in Colorado and recently had two consecutive snow storms. This tires put my life at risk by almost spinning off highway in a light snow covered road. With great effort I managed to keep it from not spining 360 and not hitting the median or running off the cliff. Scarry and dangerous. Decided to park it till spring and drive my old truck. It is a lease so not worth to spend money for half year left. Never had this issues with BFG or Goodyear.
