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.

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.

Exceptionally uncomfortable tires on rough roads

Purchased in 2022 and these ride exceptionally smooth and quiet in great roads but on rough and bumpy roads they are the worst for this price. You can feel everything on the road and my poor car stares at me! If you are living in a place with super good roads, hands down you will be happy with these..

Very Disappointed

I bought a new 2021 Chevy Blazer, came with Primacy Tour A/S. The Blazer has 25,600 miles and the tires are rotated by the Chevy Dealership every oil change. I don't drive the Blazer much, as it is my wife's. We received less than 2 inches of snow this weekend, as was driving the Blazer I was sliding all over the road. The traction from stop to accelerate in AWD is terrible. I was traveling about 20 MPH and slide 25 feet through an intersection. I pulled over and examined the tires, these is really no tread left land the outer parts of the tires are rounded. These are nowhere close to a 55,000-mile tire.

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."

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.

Unable to get replacement

Bought these tires only 10 months ago, needing one replaced already. Hit a nail and am told it is slit and needs replaced. Problem is that we cannot find one in stock. It has been over a week and I need my car. Tires are not even a year old, why can’t we get replacement. These tires are loud and can be rough riding. At first rotation I was told they are wearing uneven. Took it to dealership and was told alignment is fine. I feel like these tires are lacking and have caused me to possibly reconsider buying Michelin in the future.

Good Tire

I just purchased these tires. I rated them "Good" only because I don't know yet how they will perform. However, I had an incident on the road which made me to feel a bit better. I hit a large stone on the 60 MPH. I thought that I would loose the tire but it withstand the impact and did not get damaged to my surprise.

Cobblestone ride

Less than 4K miles on these tires and I have tried a range of tire pressures to alleviate the problem - it feels like I am driving on a cobblestone street. Alignment, balancing, suspension parts - nothing helps. I have purchased many sets of Michelin tires but this set has totally turned me off to Michelin.

Great Tires

I am very pleased with these tires. I am surprised to read reviews about the tires wearing out quickly. I have almost 30,000 miles on my Genesis GV 70 and and have lots of tread left. I drive a combination of highway and city. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because I wish road noise was a little quieter.
