Review Summary
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.

Primacy Tires need replacing in 29k miles
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.

Catastrophic Failure of Primacy MXM4 245/40R/19 Dot batch B91C03UX 0924
Catastrophic failure at 28k. Both side walls cracked all the way around. Tires are on a 2021 Cadillac CT5 550t. Driving 70 mph over sunshine skyway bridge and the entire tire except the sidewalls which were still attached to the rim left the car into traffic. It was the right rear. Had it been one of the front tires , we would have wrecked. Replaced the tires with a different brand. The other 3 tires were all cracked severely on the inside also. This tire should be recalled. Fairly new line of tires , so , many more failures are out there. Cadillac dealership who put the tires on the car with a warranty we paid for are declining to help. Said we got 28k miles out of the tires even though they told us they were 60k mile tires. There was no low tire pressure sensor light on. Once the tire flung off the car , the sensor came on saying there was no pressure. With the other 3 tires all having severe cracking on the interior, it was not just a one off event.

Smooth and Quiet
Tires ride smooth and quiet. I don't have a heavy foot on the brake and haven't put a great deal of mileage on them, so everything's great.

Best overall tires available on the market
Great tires, the only brand I have used on my 2 cars, a Jaguar and a Lincoln. They are the best all weather tires. Traction and wear are excellent.

Comfort and quality
These all season MXM4 tires are great. I ordered these for my Nissan Altima 2019 because I’ve had various types of off brand tires and they have not lasted a year without an issue such as flat tire. I’ve gotten these tires early 2025 and it’s been over a year and over 20,000 miles driven with these (all 4 tires still intact). Rain or shine and I’ve ran into my share of potholes. These have been the best performing tires for me and comfort level is superb on these as well. Will forever re purchase. Worth it!!! A+++++++++++

>> 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.
