Horrible Harmonic humming noise emitting from the new tires.

I had these tires installed on my 2019 Lexus NX300. The tires have been balanced twice and aligned. I have an annoying hum at 30mph. I can feel it through the steering wheel. I totally dissatisfied with these new tires. My tire shop doesn't have an answer. I cannot continue to drive with tires that emit this hum.

Buy other brand of tire, STAY AWAY!!

This tires came on our brand new 2020 ford escape SEL the tires got down to 3/3nd when i had to replace them with only 23,641 miles on a 55k warranty tire. It was getting to dangerous to drive on our roads due to the heavy snow. Tires did not perform at all on snowy roads or ice, breaking was terrible. I also feel that this tires provide a small pull to the right even though the alignment was check multiply times. I do not recommend this tire we went with the General altimax 365aw which I am much happier.

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.

Great Traction & Great Ride!

These came as original equipment on my 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L Plus. Great ride and traction. They are very quiet and as Michelin says they are as good worn as they are new. I did keep them rotated and balanced and managed 48K from them. They could have gone a bit further but I had bits of rubber start coming out of them. I hadn't seen anything quite like it in all my years of driving. I took them to get looked at and the dealer said the same thing. They are a soft tire and it was like bits of the rubber were peeling off. I decided to call it good at 48K. My only flaw in them seems to be that from reviews I have read, and from the tire dealer is that many of these tires don't make the mileage mark, and I did really well getting to where I got. I replaced them with the Michelin Defender2. We'll see how these compare.

Quiet and grippy

I needed new tires for my Mazda CX five, and on the recommendation of the dealership, I purchased these high end Michelin tires. It was amazing the difference. The tires are so quiet, and very well gripped in wet conditions, and beautiful on the car. They are premium in quality, and so far I am exceptionally pleased with them. It really is like driving a new car, after finally replacing the OEM tires that came with the car. And Michelin backs these tires with a wonderful warranty, and I can replace them or have them serviced at any Mazda dealership. I highly recommend them.

Great Tires

I have the Primacy Tour A/S 245/50 R 20 V102 as stock on my 2021 KIA Telluride SX-P AWD. I took delivery of my Telly on NOV. 3, 2020. I now have 72,455 miles on these tires. Last month I rotated the tires and the treads measured 5/32". I am now looking at replacing them with the same tires. I have been completely satisfied with these tires.

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.

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.

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.

The Best

Have now had these tires for more then a month. They are the smoothest and quietest tires I have ever had. I realized this in just the first 100 feet of use! My last set of tires began to chunk, they were not Michelin. Had these tires because could not get Michelins and regretted getting them. But now back to Michelins, and enjoying them on my Volt.
