Excellent Tire, Quiet, High Gas Mileage, Smooth.

I am so happy with these tires! There are several reviews that claim drivers only got 38k or less miles on this tire. I wonder if these drivers had proper inflation, perfect alignment and what road conditions for which they were using these tires. My experience is the tire wore down after 58,334 miles. That is how many miles I drove before the ‘penny test’ failed. However, I could probably drive another 5,000 miles safely. Given that I do a lot of long distance and business driving, I decided to replace them before they completely wore out. Remember, these are touring tires meant for smooth, super quiet, luxury rides. If you are using these for strenuous driving, you’re better off with the sport edition. This is my personal experience and it’s possible that other drivers received defective tires or had them installed by a non-professional.

Great tire, wears out way too fast.

I am on my second set of these Premier A/S tires and my only wish is that they lasted longer. My first set was replaced under warranty at about 35,000 miles, and I’m now 17,000 miles into the second set and at 4/32 tread depth....the tires need replaced at 2/32 meaning that as I write this in March, I’ll need to replace them before winter. They ride well, have great stopping and handling but jist wear out too fast.

Not a good impression for this 1st time Michelin buyer.

I live in Northern WI and the winters here can present a challenge. I replaced the half worn OE Nexens on my 2015 Kia Soul (28k mi on vehicle) as the Premier A/S came very highly rated in every forum I researched. I couldn't be more disappointed in their performance. I've had them on for two weeks and 600mi and these are my findings: I have a vibration that causes my hand to fall asleep at 56mph: I have lost nearly 3mpg: The tires seem to wander on various paved surfaces and need constant correction to maintain a strait line of travel: They are NO quieter than the half worn Nexens that were on my vehicle. Had balanced 3 times already...

Love Michelin tire but not these.

I purchased these tires for my Honda Pilot and boy am I sorry I did. I have driven on these tire about 30,000 miles now and I am going to replace them. They handle decent and traction is not an issue but they are extremely rough riding and a little noisy. It is time to look for a different set of tires. I hate to replace them this soon but I can’t stand the roughness anymore.

Simply the best

Four new Premier A/S tires on my 2008 Civic Ex sedan and it handles like the two Acuras I used to own. Incredibly responsive cornering, quick stops/strats, quiet, and great gas mileage. Traction is wet conditions is excellent, as is driving on ice and snow (better than most all season tires). If they are anything like previous Michelins I have owned, they will last at least 50k miles, probably longer. The tire salesman tried to talk me out of “performance tires” for this car (recommended slightly less expensive Michelin Defenders, which I’m sure are good and probably a little “softer” on bad roads), but I am so glad I spent a few extra dollars to get these. Driving is fun again!

Did not last

I got these tires almost exactly 2 years ago in November 2017, and am currently replacing them with only 50,000km driven on them. I do use them year round, and these were replacing the original tires I had on my car, also driven on year round, and they lasted 80,000km and 4 years

Smoothest, quietest best traction ever!

We were going to purchase the "Defender" and our dealer recommended we upgrade to the "Primier A/S". We have a Saturn Vue Hybrid mid-size SUV. These tires transfer ZERO road noise. They give a cushy (not mushy) ride and have great traction in wet weather. Can't wait to try them in the snow.They made our car ride better than new. Thank you Michelin for the best tire ever!

Smooth grip Contraction

I’m happy I got this tire. I thought I bought the fenders. I guess I didn’t because that’s what I ordered from the tire place I went to. I only had this for over three years and I rotate them regularly, but now they are shot. I cannot afford new tires.

KingJames1769, sorry the tires are worn out prior to delivering the mileage you expected. The Premier A/S has a mileage warranty. We suggest returning to the selling retailer to initiate a warranty claim. One of our team members will be in touch to help start a claim.

Very good so far

Two weeks ago we put on 4 new Premier tires to replace the <4/32s worn Primacy MXV4s on our 2012 Toyota Camry XLE. The installer could have still gotten Primacys but advised us to go with Premiers since if there was ever a need to replace a single Primacy they would not be available. I'd had concerns about the 8.5/32s new tire tread depth on the Premiers, but they pointed out the tires have sipes that both appear during tread wear and go down fully to under 2/32s which other tires don't have. We average over 15k mi/year on this car with a 60/40 balance of highway/city miles. So far in over 1600 miles of mostly freeway driving I am very satisfied with the Premiers. Mine are NOT noisy as some have complained about. Handling is excellent; I've only had 30 miles of driving in heavy rain but they did fine. I've noticed a very slight degradation in gas mileage almost not measurable but it may be down a few percent (normally get right at the Toyota EPA 35 mpg on the freeway and it's varied from around 37 with a tail wind to 32 the past 2 tanks which seems a bit low based on conditions). I will reserve judgement on winter handling and see if I can add to this review in December after our first real midwest snows. I am still concerned I'll get 60k miles but hope to get at least 50k depending on the time of the season treadwear drops under 4/32s.

Awesome Tires

I have a 2012 Mini Cooper . I had continentals on my car. I have 17000 miles on this car and the wear and road noise was unbearable . I knew the Michelins were the best tire out there. I purchased 195/55/R16 87v for my mini. What a difference the tire makes. No more noise and better all around tire. I am very satisfied with the Michelin brand. Always is the best tire for the money !!!
