Did tons of research to find a great tire for our Chrysler 300 C. Had these installed and found the road noise to be pretty bad. It's my wife's car so I did not drive it very often. I started driving it more and the road noise is at least 2X worse than my F-150 truck. All other aspects of the tire are great. Is it possible to get a set of lemons? Now here we are 40,000 later and I need a new set of tires already and these are coming out at the top of the reviews again.....

Premier A/S 235/55R18, 2013 Ford Escape SE, well maintained, aligned, rotated, mild driving style. 3 years old, two shifted belts and not enough tread to pass inspection. Very disappointed! Dealer said not worth trying on the prorated warranty. Never had such poor performance from Michelins! Do not buy these tires, they are not worth the money.

I don't understand how so many customers find Premiers so noisy. I read reviews before purchasing and decided to take a chance on them anyway. I like the idea of great traction - even with worn tires. The Forester came with Yokohama Geolander GO35, and I replaced them with Kumho ECSTA HP4. I think the Premiers are as quiet as either of those tires, and the ride is fine. I based my final decision using an online tire retailer's user ratings with all categories being excellent/superior. We had a mild winter in Iowa - so no deep snow since I bought these on December 15, 2015. We drive in town and on the highway. Fuel mileage is about the same.

I have driven on Michlin's for 45 years. I talked my buddy into getting a set of LTXs for his 3/4 ton truck. He found a GREAT deal in Oregon and they worked GREAT in the Utah mountains pulling trailer in snow, etc. 35,000 miles later they were smooth. I had trouble talking him into getting another setbut he did only this time he got them from a Utah dealer that buys from a mid-western distributer. 60,000 miles later they are still doing great and have over half tread. A few years ago I read an article about imported name brand itemsflooding the west coast. My feeling is some of the unhappy Michlin buyers may have encountered so "knockoffs". Just a guess.

I just purchased Premier A/S tires for my daily driver (09 Jetta). These are my second set of Michelin's in the life of this car. I previously had Primacy MXV4 which I loved and lasted a very long time. So far the Premier A/S are every bit as good as the MXV4 have been. They stick to the road well when aggressive handling is needed and very rarely ever lose traction in wet weather.

I've only had these new Premier tires for a week now but it rides smooth, stops true, and doesn't make any rolling noise. As with any new tire with new tread the cushioning against bumps is very good. I've had many Michelin tires and haven't been disappointed in any of them...other brands may be a little less money but I believe that with Michelins "you get what you pay for".

When purchasing the new tires,we did not expect to feel the difference. then, we went for a spin around town.Well, the new tires perform better than we expected.the ride is smoother and the wheel alignment made a difference too!As far as user performance rating!It is excellent for wear life,fuel efficiency,handling,braking,comfort

I replaced my Goodyear Eagles with the Michelin Premier AS and what a diiference. Quieter, smoother, cornering. I can't wait to test them in the rain. My Goodyears were terrible and would hydroplane. The drawback was the price but so far well worth it.

the tires where a bit noisy on grooved concrete but very quiet on all other roads they work very well in the rain even hard stops when wet was just like you where on a dry road they ride very soft handle well and seem to be getting more quiet the more miles I put on them worth the money.
