Poor Durability - Big Hassle

We purchased a new 2022 Kia Telluride equipped with OEM Michelin tires, and unfortunately, our experience has not met the quality we’ve come to expect from the brand. One tire has had a slow leak since day one, requiring air every 3–4 weeks. Despite multiple inspections by the dealership and tire shops — including remounting and leak checks — no visible issue has been found, and the problem persists. Additionally, we were informed that the tires showed excessive wear with less than 20,000 miles on them, which is far below what we anticipated from Michelin. As longtime customers who have trusted Michelin for durability and performance, this has been a frustrating and disappointing experience. We’re hoping Michelin will stand behind their product and help resolve this under warranty.

Terrible, dangerous tires

Do not buy these tires. Last winter I noticed my SRX seemed to be having a hard time on the snow and ice. My tires only has about 28,000 miles on them so I thought maybe it was just my vehicle that didn’t do well in the snow/ice. I never thought to have my tires checked since they are rated for 55,000! It’s wi ter again I can barely get going on the so n does not handle well at all. Tires have 38,000 miles on. Took to the mechanic and he said I need new tires already! Absolutely ridiculous for what I paid and the fact that they are supposed to go to 55,000 miles. I can’t afford this. I used to trust Michelin. I wish I would have read reviews. They should be recalled.

comfort, performance

I love the quiet, comfort, and luxury ride these tires provide. Yet, I am very unsatisfied with the tread life. My tires were completely worn at 50,000 miles. With the expense, expected quality, and performance am very disappointed. Michelin has always provided me top quality. My family, including my grandparents, have always owned Michelin and nothing else. My grandfather was in the tire business for 30 years and always owned Michelin. They need to make the life of the tire last longer. I have always exceeded the warranty rating on every Michelin tire that I have owned until now.

Merely acceptable summer performance, terrible in snow

These Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires came factory-installed on my 2025 Chevy Blazer RS, and they are completely unsafe for "real" Canadian winter conditions, especially in Alberta. In dry weather they're merely acceptable, but the moment temperatures dropped and snow appeared, they became outright dangerous. I had to drive over three hours in snowy conditions (Not whiteout conditions, just simply "winter" driving with some snow fall) with 3 passengers and could not safely exceed 70 km/h in a 110 km/h zone because the vehicle was constantly sliding and nearly fishtailing, even with light steering, gentle acceleration, and plenty of space. Traction was essentially nonexistent. The car never felt planted or predictable until the last bit of the drive where I was finally able to safely accelerate to the appropriate highway speed without feeling like I was putting my passengers in danger — there was A LOT of white-knuckle driving. For a tire marketed as “All-Season” and sold factory-equipped on a vehicle in Canada, this performance is honestly embarrassing. These tires provide zero confidence, zero winter grip, and zero margin for error once conditions are anything less than dry. If you live anywhere that sees snow, ice, or cold temperatures, avoid these tires entirely. I will be replacing them immediately, and will likely be going back to the CrossClimate2s

Poor mileage

I purchased these tires July 2019 and now after only 26,518 miles, they need to be replaced due to tread depth be 3/32. Although they are very quiet and have a smooth ride, they should last longer, considering the price. Very disappointed long-time customer.

Exactly what I wanted

My 2016 Honda Accord V6 sedan came with Primacy MXV4s. They were ok but they weren't very responsive and they didn't like getting pushed hard during cornering. The Primacy Tours are much better. My car feels more “planted” and it handles better, The ride is a little firmer but not harsh. The new tires are 2 pounds heavier and I assume the extra weight went into stiffer sidewalls, yielding better handling but a little stiffer ride. The tires are quiet except on rough road surfaces. The bottom line is that the Tours feel sportier but still very civilized, which is exactly what I wanted.

Cannot give a review since we only had tires installed today. Driving home, the noise seemed much less Time is needed to give a good answer.

We are pleased from all aspects of what we think a tire choice should be bringing to our 2022 Ford Escape.

OEM Replacement Tires

Very comfortable and quiet ride. Replacement for the OEM Falken touring tire on a '21 Subaru Forester. Highly recommend.
