THE MICHELIN TIRES WHICH CAME ON THE CAR WERE RATED TO LAST 40,000 MILES AND THEY DID SO AND A LITTLE MORE. THE TIRES I PURCHASED ARE RATED TO LAST 50,000 MILES AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THEY WILL EXCEED THAT MILAGE. THEY ARE GREAT ON ALL ROAD SURFACES AND WEATHER CONDITIONS AND PROVIDE A WONDERFUL AND QUIET RIDE.

I've had Michelin Primacy mxm4 for about a week now and I am overall very satisfied with performance of these tires: Pros: -Much faster accellaration (amazing). Definitely made a difference, the car accellarates much faster -Excellent Breaking, smooth stop no rolling or skidding -Sticks to the road, my old tires used to slide from a smallest bump now they simply ride over any obstacle Cons: -The only thing that did not improve much is the comfort of the ride, I still feel the bumps on the road...it's not as smooth as I'd hope it would be with brand new tires. I like luxury and the feeling of riding on air, which some people might not but that is what I was going for with these Michelin's. No comment: Don't know about fuel efficiency as of yet Did not ride in the rain, will update later

My wife's 2009 Jetta Sportwagen TDI needed new tires at 50,000 miles so I purchased a set of P225/45R-17 Michelin Primacy MXM4 ZP Run Flats. I have a pretty well equipped shop and the first thing I noticed was that my tire changer would not handle the stiff sidewalls of the run flats. No great problem and I had expected that I might have difficulty mounting them. After running the tires for about 1000 miles I can say that the ride is very smooth, smoother than I had expected with the stiffer sidewalls. My only complaint is that the mileage has decreased from 44 mpg to around 41 mpg. I have been a Michelin user since the early 60's and this is the first disappointment I have had with any Michelin tires. I will buy Michelins again, but not run flats.

These are the best all around tires I have ever experienced. They give the car a safe, planted feel, a huge improvement from the last set of (cheaper) tires I had. The MXV4 is excellent in all conditions, especially rain. There are cheaper tires but in the long run, you can't go wrong with Michelin tires.

Bought my Avalon 2 years ago and have less than 24k miles on it and tires are at the wear bars already. Regular rotations and air pressure adjustments, needless to say are not enough. Sad part is it's been 23.5 months...I shouldn't have to put tires on it in less than 24 months. I've always like Michelin tires until now. Guess I'll start looking elswhere for tire products. This is a very poor respresentation of what used to be a good tire manufacturer.

I purchased a set of michelins 1988 right after our per owned car hydroplaned with my wife and two small children. I promised myself that I would never again skimp on tires. Since that time I have ran Michelin' exclusively on my two BMW's and my Acura.... I have never been disappointed. Chuck Diesel A completely satisfied Customer

These tires are so far superior to most oem tires that manufacturers stick on cars it is not even funny. They are great in the rain, I mean great. They are quiet and have very good dry grip. They are even more than passable in the snow. the only knock I can give them (and it may be partly my driving styles fault) is they do not last nearly as long as you might believe from the rating. After 30,000 they are pretty much shot and I am hesitant to use them through another winter due to lack of tread. Overall though these are excellent for all but the most hard core cars and drivers.

I purchased a 14 Avalon xle touring with these tires on it from factory. I've had the car for a little less than a month and these tires give the car a very comfortable ride! I can't speak on the tread life for only having it for such a short time now but I use to have the Pilot MXM4 on my 11 Accord ex v6 and the tread lasted very well for daily spirited commutes to work. I recommend the Primacy and the Pilot MXM4 for anyone looking for a quiet comfortable ride without sacrificing handling, traction and performance.

I got the tires installed just before winter. Immediately felt the difference in handling. Terrific on the dry road and in heave rain. Total control in heavy rain at decent speeds. I saw no improvement in mileage at speeds over 100k but I noticed some improvement when driving between 90 and 100k. Driving in fresh snow scared the living out of me since the tires had no grip whatsoever. On packed snow they got me to where I was going provided that I drove much slower than I am used to. This is NOT AN ALL SEASON TIRE. Too pricey for just 3 seasons. Bring back the Harmony tire for all seasons.

I bought these Michelin tires for my 07 Mazda Speed6. I wanted an all season tire that would wear well however still perform good under spirited driving. The Mazda is all-wheel-drive and goes through tires quickly but the Michelins seem to be holding up great. I've had the tires for a few months now and have driven almost 10k miles. So far the tires have performed excellent in all weather conditions, from snow to rain to hot weather and are showing little wear. They offer great traction. The tires are also quiet and offer a smooth comfortable ride. I'm very pleased with these tires so far!
