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."

Horrible on dirt/slush/salt

These tires came on my 2020 Hyundai Tucson. Fortunately I work from home so I wasn't aware how bad they handle on dirt, slush, and leftover salt left on the road. There is absolutely no type of traction and I've almost ended up off the road. Other than that, they handle normal conditions well.

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.

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.

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.

Great Tires

I have the Primacy Tour A/S 245/50 R 20 V102 as stock on my 2021 KIA Telluride SX-P AWD. I took delivery of my Telly on NOV. 3, 2020. I now have 72,455 miles on these tires. Last month I rotated the tires and the treads measured 5/32". I am now looking at replacing them with the same tires. I have been completely satisfied with these tires.

LOUD road noise.

These tires came installed on GMC 2022 Terrain SLT and the road noise is horrendous. With the radio turned up, road noise is still loud. The vehicle has 3,100 miles on it after taking I recently drove it on a 2400 mile vacation road trip. Is it the construction of this vehicle or the tires that account for the loud road noise? As winter is approaching in Colorado I was going to by X-Ice Michelins which I have had on Subarus I've owned. But the loud noise of the Primacy Tour tire makes me hesitate to buy. Michelin tire again.

Super super super best performance tires i had ever

i had used this tire for more than 3 years, the most favorite performances are comfort and silent and additionally tread life service is better than competitors, as of today 61,000km, however i could find remaining tread depth more than 3mm/tires, it is super super good tires i had ever used so far during my driving experiences from 26 years old; that is for 26years.

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.

Emily, sorry to read that your tires are nearing the wear indicators. We'd suggest that you have a local Michelin retailer inspect the tires. Have the dealer contact us while you are there.

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
