Very Poor Durability

While these tires are quiet, decent in lifht snow and handle well, their durability was very disappointing. I know my Genesis GV70 EV is a heavy car, it is unacceptable that the OEM 265/45/R20 tires wore down from 11/32 to 4/32 after only 19,000 miles and 28 mos. Almost all of that driving was on rural roads at speeds under 50mph. I replace them at 4/32 in October because I didn't want to drive them in winter with only 4/32 of thread.

comfort, performance

I love the quiet, comfort, and luxury ride these tires provide. Yet, I am very unsatisfied with the tread life. My tires were completely worn at 50,000 miles. With the expense, expected quality, and performance am very disappointed. Michelin has always provided me top quality. My family, including my grandparents, have always owned Michelin and nothing else. My grandfather was in the tire business for 30 years and always owned Michelin. They need to make the life of the tire last longer. I have always exceeded the warranty rating on every Michelin tire that I have owned until now.

77k Miles

Although I was pushing it at the end, my OEM Primacy Tour A/S tires got me to 77,600 miles! I also changed my brakes, OEM too, if that shows you a little into my driving style. The style fits the design of my Genesis G70 Prestige 2.0 AWD perfectly, and the road noise has gone away once again.

Overall, very satisfied.

We have these on our Mazda CX-5 and even with 19" rims, these tires perform really well. These are not noisy, perform well in dry and wet and corner decently well. Pretty happy with the durability so far and highway comfort is good. Handsome and not loud on the highway for us, as others have mentioned.

Terrible, dangerous tires

Do not buy these tires. Last winter I noticed my SRX seemed to be having a hard time on the snow and ice. My tires only has about 28,000 miles on them so I thought maybe it was just my vehicle that didn’t do well in the snow/ice. I never thought to have my tires checked since they are rated for 55,000! It’s wi ter again I can barely get going on the so n does not handle well at all. Tires have 38,000 miles on. Took to the mechanic and he said I need new tires already! Absolutely ridiculous for what I paid and the fact that they are supposed to go to 55,000 miles. I can’t afford this. I used to trust Michelin. I wish I would have read reviews. They should be recalled.

Poor Durability - Big Hassle

We purchased a new 2022 Kia Telluride equipped with OEM Michelin tires, and unfortunately, our experience has not met the quality we’ve come to expect from the brand. One tire has had a slow leak since day one, requiring air every 3–4 weeks. Despite multiple inspections by the dealership and tire shops — including remounting and leak checks — no visible issue has been found, and the problem persists. Additionally, we were informed that the tires showed excessive wear with less than 20,000 miles on them, which is far below what we anticipated from Michelin. As longtime customers who have trusted Michelin for durability and performance, this has been a frustrating and disappointing experience. We’re hoping Michelin will stand behind their product and help resolve this under warranty.

Merely acceptable summer performance, terrible in snow

These Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires came factory-installed on my 2025 Chevy Blazer RS, and they are completely unsafe for "real" Canadian winter conditions, especially in Alberta. In dry weather they're merely acceptable, but the moment temperatures dropped and snow appeared, they became outright dangerous. I had to drive over three hours in snowy conditions (Not whiteout conditions, just simply "winter" driving with some snow fall) with 3 passengers and could not safely exceed 70 km/h in a 110 km/h zone because the vehicle was constantly sliding and nearly fishtailing, even with light steering, gentle acceleration, and plenty of space. Traction was essentially nonexistent. The car never felt planted or predictable until the last bit of the drive where I was finally able to safely accelerate to the appropriate highway speed without feeling like I was putting my passengers in danger — there was A LOT of white-knuckle driving. For a tire marketed as “All-Season” and sold factory-equipped on a vehicle in Canada, this performance is honestly embarrassing. These tires provide zero confidence, zero winter grip, and zero margin for error once conditions are anything less than dry. If you live anywhere that sees snow, ice, or cold temperatures, avoid these tires entirely. I will be replacing them immediately, and will likely be going back to the CrossClimate2s

Quality Tire

The tires create less road noise then some of the other tires and seem to give you a good smooth ride along with the quality and getting around in the snow. I would recommend them.

Great Touring Car Tire

Could be a bit more grippy but overall very solid choice for a performance touring car. After 50,000 + miles, i just purchased my second set. Quiet and stable on the highway.

45,000 miles replaced after 30,000

I purchased my last set of tires on February 22,2024 and put 30,000 miles on them. I did not get my 45,000 miles as expected. I did rotate my tires but to many potholes made my tires wear unevenly
