Lousy tires and poor service

These tires are garbage. Rated at 55k, but worn out at 30k. Michelin just told me that tires that come on new vehicles are not covered by warranty.

Great tire 50K miles

I replaced the original tires with the same Michelin. The original had 50,000 miles and I could not have expected more.

Don't last long

Just bought these ties for my Camaro two years ago and already need new ones. I told a friend I needed new tires and he said "already?" They are nice tires but sure don't last!

2nd set and I intend to buy another soon

These tires on my 2016 pickup are everything they claim to be. My only issue is they become quite noisy toward the end of their life. Both sets went beyond the warranty.

Worn out at 27,000 Miles-(warrenty was 55, 000)

I brought my Ford Explorer into my local Ford Dealer for routine oil change this week and was disappointed to hear all 4 of my tires need to be replaced. My car has been in to this dealer for all routine maintenance since I purchased it. One of the 4 tires were at 3 32nds and needing immediate attention. They ended up putting my spare tire on in the interim. Scarry as I have to littles that ride with me. My Explorer only has 27,000 miles, the tires suggest a limited 55,000-mile warranty. I am not even halfway there yet, and they need to be replaced. I have the Michelin Primacy A/S 255/55/R20 V110 -Definitely would not recommend.

Great tire for BMW

Although Michelin's website notes the Primacy Tour A/S won't fit on my 2017 BMW 440 xi, the exact sizes [225/40R19 and 255/35R19] I require were available. ?? My local Michelin dealer wasn't familiar with these tires, and had to special order them for me. The good news is I received fresh 2020 manufacture DOT codes. After just a month, I'm delighted with the new tores, as they are quiet, stick well on wet roads...and even light snow! Michelin even makes the sidewalls with rim protectors to avoid curb damage. I couldn't be happier.

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

Imppressed

I bought these as a replacement for my Michelin Premier tires that were original equipment on my RX. The OEM tires were out of stock in Michelin or Bridgestone. I searched for weeks before I found these Tour A/S. I was not impressed with the OEM tires. They lasted only 30K not the 60K they advertised. The rolling resistance of these Tour A/S is incredible and I expect they will outperform and out last the the OEM tires on my Lexus.

High spots and highway vibration

I purchased the Primacy Tour A/S ZP tires in a 245/40 19 size. This is a nice tire overall and matches with my Infiniti Q50S AWD nicely. I have about 30,000 miles on my odometer. However, I noticed a faint vibration sound at highway speeds. There is no real vibration felt, but I fear time will only make this condition worse. The tires were Road Force balanced at time of purchase. The vibration sound got worse over time and after about 1000 miles I took my car in to my dealer describing and recording the noise I was hearing in the cabin. We inspected the shocks, the front and rear drive shafts, the wheel bearings, checked the run-out of the wheels themselves and they are running true. We put the tires on their Road Force balancer and the weights were spot on. The car was brought in a second time to the dealer at a later date as the vibration sound on the highway was slightly more noticeable and was distracting my driving experience, pulsing anywhere from 12-16 times a second. Again, we looked at all suspension and driveline components, put a stethoscope on all rotating sections of the drivetrain and bearings, and the car checked out solid, checked out by the dealer's master mechanic on this second visit. So, the car was lowered from the hoist, a second mechanic got in the drivers seat and the car was lifted again. With the car started and running about 15 mph while up on the hoist. Being AWD all of the tires were spinning in the air. We could see that as the tires rotated, each tire had a high spot, perhaps at a seam? The left front was the worst but each of the tires had that one spot that was high with the rest of the tire surface running true. All of this pointed to the tires being responsible for that pulsing sound heard on the highway. Going back to the tire dealer, they graciously agreed to replace all of the tires, however they are currently on backorder. For the meantime, they offered to put the tires on the Road Force balancer while we wait for backordered tires to become available, Being the third time these tires have been on the balancer, they once again were spot on and no adjustments were needed. I am concerned that the replacement tires will have the same issue. I would have switched over to some other tire, but it is very difficult to find a Run Flat tire in this size, with a 94 load rating, a V or better speed rating, and a tread width comparable to the OEM tires. While the Bridgestone Driveguard would be the next best replacement tire, its main drawback is the tire width is only 7 inches compared to the OEM Dunlop SP Sport 5000 tires at 8.7 inches. That seems like a huge compromise for cornering traction. (btw, the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 tires are by far the worst tires in every measurable category, and of any tires I have driven on in my 40+ years of car ownership. Are you listening Dunlop?) Ideally, I would have preferred to purchase a 245/40 19 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, or any other premium performance Michelin All Season tire. However Michelin does not offer any other Run Flat tires in this size. I prefer to keep the run flat tires as no spare or spare mount is built into the car. Going back to the replacement tires, they will again be the Primacy A/S ZP. I hope they don't also have those high spots. If they do, I have no idea what other tire I would run. Michelin, you have an opportunity to provide a 245/40 19 tire as a replacement for 2014-2021 Infiniti Q50's and other brands for Ultra High Performance Run Flats, and hopefully without the high spots like that with the Primacy. I will say this though, the Primacy is a very respectable tires on many fronts. Outside of the high spot issue, the tire is impressively quiet, the drive is comfortable yet performance is available when asked, the cornering is exceptional even when pushing the car in the roundabouts, has excellent road manners over expansion cracks, very good in wet and dry, and frankly a great tire for those looking for a capable tire for general and spirited driving on the back roads. The high spots take away from what would be rated as an excellent tire.
