Awesome Tire!!!!

Immediately replaced the OE Continental tires with the MICHELIN Primacy Tour A/S on a new 2019 VW Atlas and they did not disappoint. The ride comfort, noise level and road handling capabilities were outstanding…wet and dry. Southern climate, so not much experience with snow/slush. Tires now have about 45,000 miles with perfect wear. I do, however, lower inflation pressures slightly below factory specs, as I am not operating at at max GVWR. I will be replacing soon with the same.

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.

Like these tires

I bought these tires in Nov 2020 for a 2016 Honda Accord EX-L V6. From the first drive home, I could tell a significant positive handling and ride difference vs higher mileage warranty tires (stiffer sidewalls) I’ve owned previously. Not having been satisfied with the ride and handling of higher mileage warranty Michelin tires purchased in the past, which didn’t come close to the stated mileage wear warranty anyway, I was willing to give up a longer wear warranty to have a better performing tire. I got it in these tires. I love their handling and ride and have never had an issue in wet weather. While I do not expect I will get 55K miles out of these tires (mileage warranty for the Primacy Tour A/S tires), even if I get 45K miles, which seems the best I’ll do, I like these tires. So much so, that in Nov 2024 I bought a second set for a 2009 Lexus ES350. Same comments as above, with regard to ride and handling. I would recommend these tires with the caveat not to expect more than 40-50K miles. For me personally, I can live with the performance vs mileage tradeoff.

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.

Ford Owner, we're sorry to read of your disappointment in the tires Ford chose for your vehicle. We hope that you will have better results with your replacement tires and that you will give the Michelin brand another chance in the future.

Lasted 59,000 miles, very satisfied

Interesting to see such a wide variety of reviews. I came across these reviews looking to buy the same tires. I need to replace these on my KIA Telluride and have 59,000 miles and they have been quiet, and good in the snow of N.H. Perhaps lasted longer because it is a colder climate?

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.

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.

These tires are definitely worth the extra cost!

I needed a new set of tires for my 2017 FORD Edge; however, I had never purchased MICHELIN tires before so the brand was new to me. My primary requirement is for a summer tire which handles well in the city and on the highway. I live in Edmonton so good handling in wet conditions is not a priority. I have had these for about 2 weeks now and have driven them in the city and on the highway (1000 Km). In both situations the tires handled extremely well; I am very impressed with the how quiet and smooth the ride is. I look forward to many more miles of driving pleasure with these tires! I recommend them unreservedly.

Great life, other reviews probably just cannot drive

These came factory on our RAV4. These tires did just fine in Idaho for the last 3 years (51,000 miles) in snow, ice, rain, and dry conditions. No idea where these other people are getting their reviews, I think its the fact they cannot drive. My wife had zero issues in the snow and rain as well. We are due for a new set and will be replacing with these.

Good on dry/wet condition, but terrible on snow

These tires came with 2024 Genesis GV 70 EV. I only have 6000 miles on them. I like the look and how smooth and quiet they performed on dry and wet surfaces. As being that they are A/S tires, I expected decent performance on snow covered surfaces. But that was not the case when we got snow accumulation of 4-5 inches. It wasn't even icy condition. These tires were slipping as if they were summer tires on snow. For those who live in warmer climate, these are good tires. But I wouldn't recommend these tires for those living in colder climate.
