Review Summary
Customers are sharply divided. Many report catastrophic failures—delamination, sidewall blowouts, and rapid tread wear at 12,000–36,000 miles, far below expectations. Several describe multiple flats without visible damage, with tread wear indicators appearing at 15,000–28,000 miles. Others note hazardous wet-road handling, hydroplaning, and unstable feel on grooved pavement. A smaller group praises smooth, quiet rides and confident handling. However, most expressing concerns describe profound disappointment, feeling the brand has abandoned quality standards. Despite some positive experiences, the overwhelming consensus reflects eroded trust and widespread durability failures.

Really Solid Tire
Despite all the negative reviews, these came standard on my santa cruz and I've driven them in Boston winters, the jersey shore, construction jobsites etc and they've performed super well. Notably, driving back up to Boston in january after winter break, I was cruising at 70 on the highway while it was snowy/rain mix and I felt totally safe in the grip department. In fresh snow on roads that are untreated they perform decent but nowhere near a dedicated winter or all-weather 3pmsf tire. I've towed 3,000 lbs with them on road trips a few times and they've done well. At 30K miles right now and very minimal wear showing. Not sure how people are getting horrible results with these but I've actually really enjoyed them. Only downside is snow traction, but that's to be understood considering it's an all-season and not 3pmsf. However, for the price, get something like the Cooper Traction Command--a far better all-around tire that is 3pmsf rated and will do the job in any condition while providing most of the primacy's handling and comfort benefits.

Disappointing Tread Life
Very disappointed. 36,000 miles and 2 are at 1/32 on 2 and 3/32. I purchased a new Jeep Grand Cherokee from my local Jeep dealership with these tires on it. I was very pleased to see Michelin tires on it. We are Michelin strong here in Greenville, SC. I have always been a big fan of the Primacy tires in the past. I have had them go 85,000 on another SUV. They were not LTX's back then. Also, These LTX's are much noisier than what I am used to from Michelin. We did everything right from the beginning. Always rotated at the dealership. Air always monitored and filled at the specifications. 36,000 miles on a brand new vehicle is unbelievable to me. Now I am on the hook to buy new tires because the dealership cannot even rotate them based on the tread. The dealership was no help either. Washed their hands with it and told me to take it up with Michelin. Then I saw the ratings of this tire on the Michelin site. Seems I am not alone.

Rides Well, Handles Well.. But literally blew out at 10,000 miles.. No nails or nothing.. I've gone through a lot of tires in my life and i have never the had a 10,000 mile tire blow out... I visually check my tires every day, and check air pressure once a week so yeah these tires are definitely low quality and too soft!!!!!

Legal Mentions
H-Speed Rated Sizes:
OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: GM = General Motors FOR = Ford JEP = Jeep NIS = Nissan HYN = Hyundai
Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to light truck sized tires.
XL = Extra Load
>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 19" diameter tire on a 19.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 22" diameter tire on a 22.5" rim.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160mph (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
T-Speed Rated Sizes:
| Maximum Speed (mph) | 100 | 106 | 112 | 118 |
| Inflation Increase (psi) | 0.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 |
| Load Capacity (% of max.) | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 |
