Smooth quiet ride for 30K

These tires were so much quieter and smoother than the factory tires. I thought I would get 40,00 miles even though rated for much more. I was wrong. I only got 30,00 miles. Its a trade off. One tire developed sidewall bubble. Another blew out and the replacement tire blew out. Bad driving? Coincidence? Not so good quality? Maybe all of the above. Good value? - probably not. They're expensive but they do ride nice.

Primacy Tour A/S

I was originally sold Cross Climate 2 tires for my 2021 Lexus 350. Those tires are for snow climates or a non-luxury car. I immediately noticed my car rode rough (it always drives smooth!). I contacted Michelin customer care because the store I went to did not want to exchange or refund at first. Michelin customer care was fantastic and walked me through to process to get my tires replaced under the 60 day satisfaction guarantee—no hassle. I got Primacy Tour A/S replacement tires which was recommended for my car. Now, it rides like butter again. Thank you Michelin!!!

Very disappointed worn out in 2.5 years at 35,500 miles

Very dissatisfied with the tread wear of these tires. Bought car in September of 2020, A 2020 Hyundai Tucson Sport, I have owned the car for 2.5 years and 35,500 miles and it has been religiously serviced by the Dealer. Came with OE Michelin Primary Tour A/S 245/45/19 tires. Thought the Michelin band was the #1 tire company but fooled me, currently these tires are sitting at 4/32’s of tread left and will have to be replaced after the next tire rotation. Pretty sad for a tire at should last about 5 years and 55,000 miles, Plus my commute is nothing aggressive some highway and city driving a total of 24 miles a day. When the time comes which will be very shortly will be looking other brands other than Michelin for replacement

Low mileage/excessive tread wear

They came with the 2021 Ford Escape that I bought new in 2021. I check and inflate as needed every month as required and the outside edges of the tires are wearing through to the first set of plies. Very disappointed with only 45,000 miles. I've had original Michelins on previous cars that got me 70-80,000 miles.

2021 Ford Escape Owner, When the shoulder of the tread on one side of a tire wears faster than the rest of the tire, this can result from a variety of conditions (misalignment, loose or worn suspension components, hard cornering, improper tire rotation practices, misapplication, high crown roads or non-uniform mounting. We'd recommend taking your vehicle to an authorized Michelin retailer for an inspection of the tires. You are welcome to contact us at 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST upon getting their inspection.

Cobblestone ride

Less than 4K miles on these tires and I have tried a range of tire pressures to alleviate the problem - it feels like I am driving on a cobblestone street. Alignment, balancing, suspension parts - nothing helps. I have purchased many sets of Michelin tires but this set has totally turned me off to Michelin.

Disappointed

These tires are on my Genesis G80 and only have 26,000 miles on the car and told that they are at end of life….im a stay at home mom, I do not drive much. Im a lifetime Michelin tire owner and disappointed that they haven’t even lasted 1/2 of expected miles. I can’t continue with these tires if I need a new set so often

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.

Performs Well as Advertised

These came stock on my '23 ioniq 5 Limited AWD. I feel like they deserve a 4 star rating for a touring tire as they do well in the Nebraska/Colorado area. The noise below 45mph is negligible, but increases significantly at highway speeds. It's common in an EV to have to turn up the radio at higher speeds and these are no exception. To be fair, no tire will save you from the concrete block roads of Nebraska. They performed decently in a snow storm WITH SNOW MODE OFF, and with snow mode on, I had no issues getting through 2-4 inches of snow at ~35mph. Overall pleased with this tire at 5000 miles.

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.

Not Repairable due to sealing property of tire

Came new on 2021 Mustang Mache California model. Have been told that the tire is not repairable because they are foam filled. I cannot find anywhere that says these tires cannot be repaired because they are foam filled and are not repairable with normal puncture.
