Rating Snapshot
When asked, 85% of reviewers recommend this tire
Customers overwhelmingly praise these tires for smooth, quiet rides and exceptional handling in wet and dry conditions, with many reporting strong traction, confident braking, and reliable all-season performance. Most describe superior steering response and improved comfort compared to previous tires, with high loyalty and repeat purchase intent. However, a notable group reports premature tread wear, needing replacement at 15,000–30,000 miles rather than expected durability. Despite this durability concern, most customers consider the ride quality and safety performance worth the investment.

I got 80K miles and still running!!!!
So far after 9 months the tires are doing well! Great comfort,wear and handling
Lousy wear. The first set came with car and got 35,000 miles wear. Replaced them with a a second set and they are ready down to 5/32 of tread in just 18,000 miles. They were advertised to be good for 50,000 miles. I used to respect the Michelin brand, but not anymore.
We're sorry to hear your Primacy MXM4 tires have not delivered the tread life expected. Tire wear can be influenced by several factors, including vehicle application, alignment, inflation pressure, and maintenance history. To determine whether you may qualify for mileage warranty assistance, we recommend having the tires inspected by an authorized tire retailer and contacting our Consumer Care team with the inspection results. We can be reached at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

I have had this tire on several of my cars. It is durable and performs well in all climates. It is expensive, but well worth the money. I recently got the Defender 2 Michelin tires. Will see how they perform over the Primacy.
Don't believe mileage warranty on Michelin Primacy tires. All 4 Michelin Primacy tires installed in March '24 on 2015 Ford Explorer XLT are worn down and need replaced after 29k miles as of October '26. Regular tire rotations were performed and all tires show ever wear across the groove pattern, but are just worn down to the tread wear indicator bars. Overall Traction, ride comfort, and noise were average at best.
We're sorry to learn you've experienced rapid wear with your Primacy MXM4 tires. To determine whether you may qualify for warranty assistance, we recommend having the tires inspected by an authorized tire retailer. After the inspection, please contact our Consumer Care team at 866-866-6605 (Mon-Fri 8 AM-7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM-1 PM EST). We'd be happy to review the inspection results and discuss any warranty options that may be available.

>> 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.
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.
