Good Grip, Smooth Ride

I have only had these tires on for a week so I cannot comment on treadwear but in the week I have had them on I have driven on dry pavement, wet pavement and light snow. The tires performed well in all 3 conditions but is definitely not, nor is it meant to be, a winter tire. However, on dry and wet pavement performed exceptionally well (excellent grip and smooth ride). I find them slightly louder than the X-Ice Xi3 winter tires that were on it but nothing I can't live with. If treadlife proves good I would deinitely look at these again when needed.

Amazing

A few minutes after leaving the tire center i was caught in a serious downpour. the tires performed perfectly just like i read in every brochure and magazine. the smoothness and response, the handling and feel is extremely impressive. comparing to the other brand i had on the car, the car now drive like a dream and like a Mercedes should. I am looking forward to tens of thousands of miles on these tires with no issues, already. I will be buying another set of the same tires for my wife's Acura TL. The primacy's are good but these are far better.

Bad tread wear

bought these over a competitor brand due to reputable name even though these were more expensive. i was expecting to get 6 years or 60,000 miles out of them, but 3 years & 35,000 miles later, i'm needing to find new tires again. I had thought i would have gotten more out of them, but not so.

NOISE NOISE NOISE AND MORE NOISE

The tire handles, stops, and is good in the rain. The noise on my 2011 Honda Civic is really bad! I had Mxv4 ( I believe that was the model of my old tires). I really liked them but was told that these replaced them. Between 55 to 68 mph I can drive beside an 18 wheeler and drowned out the noise of the truck tires. The car has been checked and their is nothing wrong with it. The noise started when I put the tires on. The good news is above 75 mph the noise leaves, but it's kind of hard to travel at that pace most of the time!

Found to be everything Michelin claims.

I just bought a set of Premier A/S for my Honda Pilot. I ordered them based on the Michelin rating numbers and price. While I waited for them to come in I read the reviews and found a lot of bad reviews complaining of noise, rough handling and vibration. I found these to be untrue on my Pilot Touring I hear almost no road noise at any speed. Nor do I feel any vibration or excessive harshness yet the tires yeild a feeling of control and confidence.

Poor tread life

I bought a set of tires 4 years ago. I felt these tires had better traction in rain, snow, and ice compared to the Michelin Defender which I previously had on this car. However, tread life was awful. I have fewer than 30,000 miles on my car and the tread is dangerously low. Very disappointed in the quality of this tire.

They got rid of the MXV4 for this?

After excellent performance from a set of MXV4 (H) on Lexus ES350 I learned the MXV4 had been replaced by the Premier A/S and I eagerly purchased a set. Extremely disappointing! Has fairly good traction dry/wet with worsened gas mileage of about 5%. Theoretical snow traction irrelevant. The A/S has a harsh, stiff ride which transmits every minor road surface imperfection as jarring and vibration to the cabin. Loud on asphalt, but the 'singing' noise on concrete pavement is so loud as to be distracting and tiresome. Looking for a real replacement in terms of ride and quiet for the MXV4? This expensive tire is not it.

Noise Annoys

In July I purchased four 205/55R16 M1 Premier AS tires for my 2006 VW Jetta TDI. I took off Michelin MXV4s which had given me 45K miles of really great service but which are no longer available. they were not at the end of their useful life but I wanted really new rubber for the trip. The road noise on all surfaces above 45 mph was so bad that I we took my wife's 2011 VW GTI on the trip instead. When I sought to return the AS M1s I was several days beyond the return deadline. Nevertheless, Michelin treated me extremely well and I was given a full refund. Great Company and Service not the right tire for my vehicle and me.

So Far so Good

Currently purchasing my second set. I have these on a 2012 KIA Sportage and got 55K miles out of them. I could have pushed them to 60K per the warranty but I normally replace before the wear bars. I don't take chances on tires. They get into the 25% range and I change them. The ride is good and noise level went down big time over the OEM tires. They are more expensive than other tire manufactures but you get what you pay for.

Expensive Garbage!

I ran MXV4s on my Honda Accord until they were discontinued. Went with the Premier A/S and have regretted it ever since. I could get 55,000-60,000 miles out of a set of MXV4s and they never seemed to get loud even when they were nearing the end of their tread life. Had the car inspected today and was told that they barely passed and I will need new tires next year. So I will end up getting maybe 40,000 miles out of a set of these garbage rim protectors. Pitiful tread life, high road noise and I feel every bump in the road. These were expensive tires and they have been a complete disappointment. Want a quality tire that lasts, look elsewhere.
