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.

Only got 25,000 miles, not the advertised 55,000 miles

These tires came with my 2021 GMC Acadia. I haven't even hit 25,000 miles and they now need replacing. I rotated the tires on time and checked air pressures every month according to the owner's manual. I see in the warranty that "Original Equipment tires are excluded". Based on my experience, and what I'm seeing from other reviews with similar experiences, these tires must be very poorly manufactured. Michelin should be ashamed for selling these, and even more ashamed for not having a solutions for those of us who only got 20-40k life from these tires.

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.

Horrible Harmonic humming noise emitting from the new tires.

I had these tires installed on my 2019 Lexus NX300. The tires have been balanced twice and aligned. I have an annoying hum at 30mph. I can feel it through the steering wheel. I totally dissatisfied with these new tires. My tire shop doesn't have an answer. I cannot continue to drive with tires that emit this hum.

Not Repairable due to sealing property of tire

Came new on 2021 Mustang Mache California model. Have been told that the tire is not repairable because they are foam filled. I cannot find anywhere that says these tires cannot be repaired because they are foam filled and are not repairable with normal puncture.

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

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.

Just Okay

This Primacy tire came on our new 19 Ford Edge SEL. We have 25,000 miles on this tire, driven exactly 4 years to date. June 19-June 23. I keep the tire pressure from 36-38psi [Cold] year round, in our lower Wisconsin weather, with even tire wear. I have my own compressor in the garage. There is just my wife and I and both retired since 2010. The tread wear bars are not quite fully exposed. This November, due to our Wisconsin winter season, these Primacy tires will have to be replaced. I might say these tires will reach 30,000 to fully expose the wear bars, at best. I was not expecting a whole lot from these tires in the off set. I once had 55,000 mile warranty tires and were good for 35,000 miles. This specific tire did not meet my grade. You be the judge.

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.

These tires are definitely worth the extra cost!

I needed a new set of tires for my 2017 FORD Edge; however, I had never purchased MICHELIN tires before so the brand was new to me. My primary requirement is for a summer tire which handles well in the city and on the highway. I live in Edmonton so good handling in wet conditions is not a priority. I have had these for about 2 weeks now and have driven them in the city and on the highway (1000 Km). In both situations the tires handled extremely well; I am very impressed with the how quiet and smooth the ride is. I look forward to many more miles of driving pleasure with these tires! I recommend them unreservedly.
