BMW 2001 325Ci - Michelin Premier A/S

Bought my wife a used BMW convertible - front end need some work as would be expected with a car that had 16 years on it. After everything was replaced, still did not ride good, rotated and re-balanced the Goodyear tires on, not a noticeable difference . Swapped out the Goodyear tires with the Michelin Premier A/S. It was the difference between night and day, drives and handles great. Point is, car is 16 years old, cost $36K new, one can choose to treat a car like this as a 16 year old car with over 100K miles, I treat this one as a $36K vehicle with 100K miles. Tires make a big difference - go with Michelin

Don’t expect 60,000 miles

I got about 35,000 miles out of a new set when they got to 3-5/32 all around. Local reseller explained that the warranty required they be worn to 2/32 to be covered. This meant driving with 3/32 of tread on the front tires this past winter. Finally got the front tires to the magic 2/32 with 48,000. While the prorated warranty will cover some replacement costs. The thought of asking anyone to drive with such low tread depth again is not worth it. Keep the $50, I’ll take sound of mind, thank you.

Smooth ride , great handling, smooth on stops.

I bought these tires last week and notice a big difference compared to my Firestone Assurance t/a's. Smooth when stopping, quieter than my previous tires. I read other reviews and some claim at about 30k to 40k are needing new tires. I can understand why, its due to the gripping these tires have. They will wear down a bit more if they grip better. The way i see it, i could get other tires that dont grip as well, and could have longer stopping and not as smooth or quiet or i can have the security in knowing i can safely stop and have control of my car. I think the Premier a/s are excellent.

More Marketing Hype Than Performance - Go with MXV4s

Had the MXV4s which I replaced with these when the previous set could not be repaired due to road damage. So much worse than I have come to expect from Michelin. Tires are noisy on NYC roads and are softer than most, resulting in roll during anything but perfect conditions despite regular rotations and tire pressure checks. I have an AWD car which returned above average control before these were put on it. Would return them if I could, but at this point will need to live with them for a couple of years.

Best Tire

I just got these tires on, so this comment is not going to be on how long the tire will last. (eventhough, I know they will last long) I replaced a set of almost new tires from another brand. I have to say, as soon as I started driving, I noticed a night and day difference on the noise. These tires are very quiet yet also very comfortable with the handling. It is winter and full of snow in Manitoba here, but they feel like winter tire under wet conditions. I will never use any other brand for my car again. I recomand to spend a little more on the tires, they will be so worth it in the long run, and you worry less and last longer.

Comfortable but Handling Suffers

I have a 2011 Honda Accord EX-L. It came with the Michelin Pilot MXM4 tires. 50K mile tire, I got 62K from them (tires had 3-5 mm left). They made my Accord feel like a sports car. I loved them, but I drive about 40K miles per year over no so great rural TX roads in the course of doing my job, so I thought maybe I should get something designed for longer life and improved comfort. Thus, I replaced my Pilots with the Premier A/S tires. These tires certainly are very quiet and comfortable, but they are a little scary in the handling department. Keep in mind where I came from, but the tire definitely has some stability issues if you have to make a quick evasive move around an object in the road. I thought I was going to end up in a ditch doing something I had done many times with the Pilot tires (South TX roads are full of retreads and other debris from Mexican trucks). Overall I'm happy with the quiet comfort, but I'm considering returning them based on the cornering and other handling characteristics. I don't know if it's my imagination, but it feels like my car doesn't accelerate as well either. I think the Pilots grabbed the road faster and didn't give as much, so the car moved when I said go. It's probably not a fair comparison, but I thought the review might be helpful for those considering a similar transition. You are giving up more handling in the compromise than you might expect.

Back to good mileage

When my last set of Michelins wore out, I unfortunately made the choice to put Goodyears on my Mazda 6. My mileage dropped 4-5 mpg. Had dealer request Goodyear replace, and they refused. My dealer bought them back from me at reduced price of course, and I paid the difference to stick the Premier on my wheels. Mileage is up 5 mpg. That's a major difference if you ask me. I saw some negative comments, but I don't hear any extra noise, and the tires cling to the road when I come down Monteagle Mountain. I won't experiment with another tire brand again.

Ripped off and it keeps coming back at you.

They went after 35,000 and I could not get a cash refund but only the same tires again. Michelin had me locked in because the warranty would be only for that tire again. The dealer said all 4 tires were used properly since they all showed the same wear. I had them rotated regularly. The most expensive tire on my Lexus were a failure.

Great Wet Weather Traction...HORRIBLE LIFE

Bought 4 tires for my 2017 Ford Fusion Energi Plug-In Hybrid and the tires instantly performed better than the OEM tire. Wet weather traction was phenominal. Areas where I used to hydroplane were not a problem anymore. HOWEVER, tire life is POOR. I'm at 3/32 after about 25,000 miles on all four. I have them regularly rotated and balanced. If this product didn't have a warrantee I would be very upset.

Good tire attributes but fast tread wear and lower MPG

I bought a full set of these tires in the summer of 2018 for my 2014 Subaru Forester. They have 32,500 miles on them. The good. These tires ride well, absorb road noise and shock, corner well, grip in wet and snow conditions, and look good. I have Michelin X Ice winter tires for my vehicle which I normally swap into from Dec-Feb, but I decided to skip this past winter to see how the Premier A/S tires do in the winter season. They worked out great in lighter snow and way better than the original OEM tires in all snow/ice conditions. The not so good. 1) Loss of fuel economy. I expected a drop in mileage since the OEM tires weren't the best and were primarily fair-weather tires, but I've lost an average of 1.6 MPG over the last 30,000 miles. That's a lot to me. 2) At 32,500 miles I seriously doubt I'll make the 60,000-mile mark as advertised. From the looks of it, I'll probably make 45,000 miles, maybe 50,000. I'm going to stop by the tire store I bought them from and have them give me a better estimate. However, they're wearing at a faster rate than anticipated.
