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.

Great Ride
So far after 9 months the tires are doing well! Great comfort,wear and handling
Bye bye Michelin
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.

Expensive, but the value of performance, durability and life of the tires will outweigh the dollars
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.
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.
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.

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+++++++++++
