Poor wear

After just 10,700 miles (12 months) the tires are at a 7 on the tread gauge. I have had 3 incidents of road debris with the last one requiring and “shaved” replacement. Apparently the tires grip so well they suck up the road debris, I would never purchase this type of tire again.

<30k Miles... Disappointing

These came on a new Ford Bronco Sport I purchased in late June of 2021. Already need new tires for winter. They didn't even make it past 30,000 miles of highway driving. Very disappointed in the product. Was excited when I bought the vehicle and saw Michelin tires on it because I thought they were the highest quality... now I need to buy all new tires. They didn't make it anywhere close to the 55,000 mile tread warrantee.

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.

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.

Imppressed

I bought these as a replacement for my Michelin Premier tires that were original equipment on my RX. The OEM tires were out of stock in Michelin or Bridgestone. I searched for weeks before I found these Tour A/S. I was not impressed with the OEM tires. They lasted only 30K not the 60K they advertised. The rolling resistance of these Tour A/S is incredible and I expect they will outperform and out last the the OEM tires on my Lexus.

Great Tires for Tesla Model S – Quiet and Comfortable!

I recently bought the Primacy™ Tour A/S tires for my Tesla Model S, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! The ride is incredibly smooth, and the tires are very quiet, which makes for a peaceful driving experience. They handle really well and provide excellent comfort, even on longer drives. So far, everything is going great, and I'm really impressed with the performance. Highly recommend these tires for anyone looking to enhance their car's ride quality!

Nice handling, but traction and treadwear is limited...

I purchased a set of 215/55/17 in Oct 2018 for my ES 350 with 119K miles. They were only fair as an all season tire here in MN. At 151K miles these tires were worn down to the wear bars and I had to replace them last month with a set of Goodyear Weather ready tires. The Michelin Defenders I've had previously gave much better life than the 32K miles these did.

Great traction and tread ware and comfortable tires

Bought V rated Primacy tires for my 2007 Lexus es350. Tires eat up vibrations and pot holes very well. Tires won’t last 55,000 miles in the hot Texas summers, so I typically change them around 45-50k, great tire for all weather conditions including rain. I’ll be buying them again for my new Lexus Rx350 suv and my wife’s Mazda Cx-5 suv.

Happycustomer

I bought my first set of Michelins to replace the factory ones on my 1980 Buick Regal and have had Michelins on various cars, suvs and light trucks ever since. I don’t recall ever having problems with any of them through the years. My experience is they run quietly and smoothly,and last longer than other brands I have tried. Definately my favorite tire.

The Best

Have now had these tires for more then a month. They are the smoothest and quietest tires I have ever had. I realized this in just the first 100 feet of use! My last set of tires began to chunk, they were not Michelin. Had these tires because could not get Michelins and regretted getting them. But now back to Michelins, and enjoying them on my Volt.
