Worth it!
I had the Primacy AS that I’m changing now after 71.000 miles, and there were still some threads to use for about 4K more. I decided to change now because I have a long trip and would rather do the service now than travel and have to change or have a “surprise” while on the road. Of course, when the tire gets to this point, there is no longer much comfort. However, it never lost performance, traction, or handling, even during rain. I am happy with how long these tires last.
Horrible dangerous tires
These tires are dangerous!!! They came on my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5. I didn't know about the foam liner, at 12,000 miles out of the blue the car began to shake strongly at 60+ mph. The dealer put weight on one tire and it was better for awhile. Last week now 15,000 miles, again out of the blue, the shaking returned this time very violently on the interstate in traffic!! I got it to my dealer immediately, they kept it for 2 days and found that the foam had come loose and was causing this extreme vibration. I had to buy 4 new tires...NOT MICHELIN, at a cost of $1,400. People need to know what a stupid design this is and how dangerous it can be. And need to be told about it when they buy a new car. I feel I'm owed some compensation.
TRACTION!
Excellent snow and water traction.
Silent, Smooth, excellent for my bad back
I had Primacy Tour a/s on my Mercedes and loved them. I bought custom wheels for my new BMW and ordered a new set of Primacy Tour a/s for that car as well, exact size, exact same tire except for the foam dampener. Very smooth, silent ride, but my old tires were 500 tread wear, AA traction and A temperature. The new tires are 540 tread wear, B traction and A temperature. Where did the traction go? Is the tire a different compound now, or is the method of evaluating them different?
Worst Tire Experience
These came on our new Tesla Model 3. Tires are the T0 variation. The handing in wet conditions is horrible and dry is mediocre. The fact the Tesla is putting these on cars is ridiculous. I would prefer ultra high performance tires and take the low milage than these tires. Also, we have only driven the car just over 8,000 miles and the tread depth is 4/32. If the first review I saw here also relates to this tires life at around 8,000 miles, there must be more. *This is my 18th vehicle, several high performance like AMG, with all sorts of tires.
Failure at 8000 miles.
Acoustic foam disintegrated after 8000 miles. Michelin will not warranty the tire as it was original equipment (OE) to the car.
Great handling and noise quality
Great tire very quiet sounding cabin
Great tire in all different conditions s
These tires came new on our 2024 Kia Sportage PHEV. They have performed extremely well in the inters in Utah and warm temperatures in Florida. They are very quiet and provide a smooth ride with excellent traction. We have over 11000 miles on them and they show little wear. We could not be happier.
LEAKY TIRE
We bought a new 2024 Toyota COROLLA CROSS LE AWD on April 18, 2024 from the Toyota dealer in Victoria. We have driven this new car less than 2,500 km so far (up to end of March 2025) and one of the tires (1B9 22 031X 0324) pressure warning sign keep on coming up even we have pumped up to full pressure of 33psi but the sign will come up again after one shot trip to the town(about 15 min drive). I had the same experience before with my previous new 2016 Toyota RAV 4 Hybrid that I had to replace one of the Michelin tires within one year of little driving milage. in my previous case the dealer said that tire is non-repairable and I had to buy a new tire for the RAV 4. therefore my question is all Michelin tires are non-repairable when theres a flat?
HO, we're sorry to read that you are experiencing a slow loss of air. We suggest taking your vehicle to an authorized Michelin retailer for an inspection of the tire(s). Give us a call once the inspection is complete so that we can get the dealer's findings and determine next steps. We can be reached at 888-871-4444 8am-5pm EST Mon-Fri.

Medioce Tire, Not Recommended for Snowy Climates
Tires came new on a '22 RAV4 AWD (Gas). Needed replaced at 46,000 miles (typical on PA roads that tires only last about 2/3 of their rated mileage. Tires drove okay, nothing great, nothing terrible. They were however not well suited for western PA winter snow season. Replaced with Kumho Crugen HT51's and the difference was night and day for snow traction. Those Kumho's were just now replaced at 59,000 miles (could have gone a bit longer, but alignment was out and wore down the tire edges severely). I'm now on to trying out the Crossmax CHTS-1 budget tires which are doing well on my in-laws vehicle.
