Tire unraveled while driving.

This review is not intended to bash Michelin as they are a reputable company and brand. However, I believe that it is important to note that I was able to get 53000 miles before my tire began to unravel while driving. This is a hazard that should be made aware of to prevent life threatening injuries or worse.

Smooth Quiet Ride

I just purchased these tires on July 1 and had them installed on July 10 when they arrived at the warehouse. Installation was pretty quick. My ride to work this morning on the highway felt like I had a new car. The ride was super quiet and super smooth. The weather is dry so I can't rate grip of tire in 'weather' conditions, however, they grip the road really well in normal climate. I will update review if anything changes. So far, so good!

Excellent tire for your great car

Primacy tour as is one of the most comfortable tires in the market. It is very quiet on smooth roads but on rough roads you can hear some noises. I have tried other brands including the newest Turanza EV, Quiettrack, Driveguard on the same car but Primacy tour is the most comfortable and quietest of them. It absorbs the bumps and keeps you comfortable. Some may not like it as you can hear some noises on rough roads but in no way it disrupts the conversation inside the vehicle. you better try other tires and see for yourself the difference.

not a great tire

Bought a new Terrain which had these tires from factory. During winter conditions (snow packed roads), I didn't feel comfortable driving with these tires. Seasons have changed to spring, Now driving in rain, these tires are terrible. Seems like they want to hydroplane. I have to reduce speeds so much that i'm being passed like i'm standing still. I can say the tires are smooth riding.

Best tires I have owned.

Smooth ride. Got 65 K out of original tires, (wear bars just visible, not prominant), just bought first replacements. Corners well whether dry, rain or snow. Traction good in all codotions. In snow you just have to know how to drive in snow and limitations of any tires in snow. More quiet than any tires I have had on other SUVs.

Nice road characteristics, but treadwear nowhere near the promised miles.

These tires ride well and quietly, and they also improved the handling of my Lexus ES330. These V-rated tires provided handling and cornering that was better than the Michelin H-rated tires my car had previously. The only major drawback is that although they came with a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty, they were worn to replacement-needed level after a bit less than 13,000 miles (and had been properly inflated, wore evenly, and rotated every 6,000 miles). Michelin's "fine print," which I had not seen until now, limits treadwear warranty to specified miles OR 6 years, whichever comes first. I bought these before the pandemic, and did not travel for 3 years, yet Michelin's "clock was ticking," and when I called today to request pro-rated coverage, they said no. So much for "customer goodwill."

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.

Range disappointment

These tires came stock on my 2021 Ford Mach-E. Tires are now completely worn at 55K and need to be replaced. There's no way they would ever make it to the 90,000 kilometer range claims. I am quite disappointed as Michelin has always treated me well on all my past vehicles. I'm now obviously in the market for replacement tires and my confidence in the brand is now in question. I also work in the transportation field and I'm responsible for a large fleet of truck/trailer tires which typically we would purchase Michelin but at this point I'm not so sure we should.

Quality first

These replaced the Michilin Defender on my 2018 Highlander One day in, quiet and comfortable. Got 40k on the defenders. Will see how they handle the NE winter! These were my second choice because I could not get the Continental ContiCross contact LX Sport that are on my RAV4, the top rated tire and amazing...if you can get them.

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.
