Primacy Tour A/S

I was originally sold Cross Climate 2 tires for my 2021 Lexus 350. Those tires are for snow climates or a non-luxury car. I immediately noticed my car rode rough (it always drives smooth!). I contacted Michelin customer care because the store I went to did not want to exchange or refund at first. Michelin customer care was fantastic and walked me through to process to get my tires replaced under the 60 day satisfaction guarantee—no hassle. I got Primacy Tour A/S replacement tires which was recommended for my car. Now, it rides like butter again. Thank you Michelin!!!

Performs Well as Advertised

These came stock on my '23 ioniq 5 Limited AWD. I feel like they deserve a 4 star rating for a touring tire as they do well in the Nebraska/Colorado area. The noise below 45mph is negligible, but increases significantly at highway speeds. It's common in an EV to have to turn up the radio at higher speeds and these are no exception. To be fair, no tire will save you from the concrete block roads of Nebraska. They performed decently in a snow storm WITH SNOW MODE OFF, and with snow mode on, I had no issues getting through 2-4 inches of snow at ~35mph. Overall pleased with this tire at 5000 miles.

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.

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.

Great grip/bad feel

Bought these tires at end of August. Been trouble since they were put on. Road force after road force and sending back tires cause they fail and getting new ones not that much better. we just can't get the car to ride smooth. Tires do grip well though in rain and dry. City speed is smooth, highway speeds causes harsh ride, vibrations. An overall tiring drive.

Tire wears out

These tires came on my 2021 Kia Telluride that I bought new. At the last oil change/maintenance check the tread was at 4/32 and I was told I’d need tires before winter. The car only has 26000 miles on it. Seems ridiculous they didn’t last longer. I would not recommend.

Horrible road noise, incredibly firm tire.

Tires supplied from factory on XT6. Test drove vehicle on freshly replaced road/highway and was very quiet and smooth. After driving over a variety of roads the next few days after purchase these tires are extremely LOUD and very hard. Feel and especially HEAR every pit/pebble/ripple in the road. On one stretch of my daily commute these tires cause the body “drumming” endemic to body-on-frame vehicles. Even though both Cadillac and Michelin recommend 38 psi, lowered to 30 psi to check difference. Absolutely no difference. And did I mention they are LOUD/NOISY?? Have run Michelins almost exclusively on all my cars and this set is NOT up to Michelin standards. Will be replacing immediately.

Bad tread wear

These tires came on my new 2022 chevy Equinox premier. Bought the car last year car has 26,000 miles and the dealership told me yesterday I need 4 new tires. And the dealership won’t stand behind them. Absolutely disappointed in the tread wear. I’ll never purchase Michelin tires.

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.

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.
