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.

Absolute horrible tires. Do not buy!
Horrible durability. I drove only 150 days on gravel roads and all my truck tires have many large chunks taken out of the tread. I now have a leak. These are horrible tires. Tread is way too soft. I will not buy Michelin again.

Michelin does not honor the rebate. Purchase Continental instead!!!!!
I purchased 4 new Cross-Climate2 tires for my car. Michelin promised me a rebate of $80 but they refuse to honor the deal. I can not recommend this company since they falsely advertise a rebate they refuse to provide.

Flat tire after 900 miles
Just purchased Cadillac LYRIQ.900 miles. Flat tire in my garage. Small piece of mulch wood barely in the tire. No spare. Reading these reviews are scaring me that these tires are going to be an issue especcially with no run flat or spare tire. Supposedly self-sealing per dealer. They certainly didn't self seal as tire went completely flat in my garage.Worried in Florida.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the flat tire and understand how frustrating this situation can be. Please contact our Consumer Care team, and we’ll be happy to help guide you through next steps. You can reach us at 866‑866‑6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Horrible Tires! Michelin Should Be Ashamed!
These tires came on our new Lexus. They puncture like a needle against a balloon. First tire punctured at 3900 miles and could not be repaired. At 5600 miles we now have another tire that has punctured and cannot be repaired.

Warning--Dangerous Tires
Horrible! at only 7500 miles on a new Mercedes Benz GLC 300 4-Matic the left rear tire blew out while traveling 80 mph on Interstate 95 in southern Georgia, and could have cost my husband his life as he negotiated crossing three lanes of traffic to reach the berm. The response from Michelin? A case number, no help, no follow-up. A Michelin rep said take it to a MB dealer, the dealer said it was a waste of time and Michelin wouldn't do anything. Long story short--we replaced the tire with out own money. The car did not hit or run over anything to puncture the tire. It just completely separated from the rim. Air pressure was good, as the car monitors it. These were OEM tires that Mercedes uses for that model. We are terribly angry at the situation and Michelin. The only thing I received from them was a case number--no phone call or follow-up. So disappointing from a company that I once considered a better brand. No more Michelins for us!

UNSAFE!
Dangerously poor performance in icy/snowy/slushy weather. These tires came stock on my Volvo EX30 cross country. After 1 week of ownership, I had my first opportunity to drive it in New Jersey icy mix slushy weather and the car was unable to maintain traction and control while just cruising straight, in the tire paths, well below the speed limits, while crappy 2-wheel drive sedans were confidently and safely outperforming my car. And forget about slight bends or turns. I was so disturbed and shocked by the performance that immediately upon returning home, I got in my volvo xc40, which is a lighter vehicle equipped with firestone firehawks, and the thing handle the same exact conditions like a beast. The difference was night and day. The xc40 with cheaper, older tires was like a mountain goat while the ex30 with Michelin primacy's was like bambi on ice. It's irresponsible for Michelin to keep selling these, at the very least, as an all-season tire. I doubt they will discontinue them, but they should.
Thanks for sharing your experience and we’re sorry to hear about the traction issues you've encountered in winter conditions. A member of our Consumer Care team will be contacting you shortly. You are also welcome to give us a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).
