Review Summary

Reviewers are sharply divided, with most reporting premature tread wear and dangerous failures—tires reaching unsafe levels at 8,000 to 25,000 miles despite warranty promises, with blowouts and sidewall ruptures at highway speeds raising serious safety concerns. Many customers express betrayal, stating Michelin's reputation has declined and vowing not to repurchase. However, some praise the quiet, smooth, comfortable ride quality, particularly on OEM installations. Overall, durability issues and safety anxieties dominate customer sentiment, overshadowing positive driving experience feedback.

Foam Insert Separated From My Primacy AS TO on my 2025 Tesla M3.

2025 Tesla M3 with ~ 16.5K miles. The cylindric foam insert supposedly glued to the inside of the tire to reduce sound, fully separated. The foam rolled into a ball causing significant shuttering at 70-75 MPH. I went to Big O tires for balancing thinking that would resolve the problem. Unfortunately, no. Back to Big O. This time they removed the tire discovering the foam no longer attached to the tire. Who knew tires had foam inserts? Tires handle well but don't think I'll repurchase these Michelin's. First time I've experienced any issues with Michelin's.

New michelin wore out by 20000 miles

These tires were completely worn out by 22000 miles. when I purchased this new car, it had Michelin tires on it and I thought wow this is cool. It should be at least 50,000 miles before I need tires but no by 22,000 miles those tires were bald and unsafe they were properly rotated by the Dealership. I used to think Michelin tires or a really high-quality tire, but I come to find out their quality now sucks? That’s really unfortunate because I used to buy Michelin’s all the time. But knowing that they produced a brand new tire that only lasts 20,000 miles that’s not acceptable at all. The only thing I can surmise is that Ford made a deal with Michelin to buy their factory second tires and put them on their new vehicles Tire Dealership offered me nothing because they said new tires have no warranty on them when they come straight from the factory because they don’t use quality tires

Bought the Honda HR-V May 2025. There’s 26,000 km on the vehicle, which includes using winter tires for four of those 15 months. The tires will not pass inspection. Garbage.

Wear schedule.

45k on these tires and starting to feel rough. Good tires through the first 30k. Wearing seems per the warranty schedule. Would look at buying again, though had hoped the Michelin name would hold better throughout the life of the tires. Rotated at appropriate intervals.

Great EV Tires

Great tires. These came with my new Ford Mustang Mach-E back in 2022. It's been almost four years now. I have put over 75,000 miles on this, and still have some thread left

Great tire - Very poor wear.

2021 Ford Explorer ST came with these OEM. Ride, noise , braking and traction are great. Fuel efficiency is hard to compare without changing tires because all cars have different numbers. Problem is that only after 26,500 miles my dealer said I needed new tires. I am pushing the bald tires past 32k miles now. Hoping to get to at least 35k miles. Road conditions have been pavement. Drive less than 30 miles each day. Driving habits are not aggressive and half freeway and half residential. Tire inflation maintained and monitored by car computer. Probably going to replace soon with Toyo AT III as they were great on my Ford Ranger pickup.
