Smoother ride.
Tires come standard on Mercedes GLE, however, if you choose the upgrade Bridgestone Run Flat tires for your vehicle as I did you will be disappointed in the tread wear and comfort.
Nice Tire
Traction - good | Comfort - good | Design - nice | Performance - good | Durability - TBD but purchased these tires for a previous vehicle and it was very good.
Excellent tires
Extremely quiet and excellent braking and handling. Very impressed.
Manufacturing Defect
We had to replace 3 of 4 the original 265 40 R22 106W Primacy Tour AS tires that came w/ the vehicle through the dealer due to a manufacturing defect after purchasing the vehicle. The dealer was unable to remove continuing road vibration despite several visits and attempts to balance the original tires that came w/ the vehicle. The original tires that we replaced were manufactured in Thailand. The replacement tires were manufactured in Hungary.
We’re sorry for the vibration issues you encountered with the original manufactured tires and we’re glad the case we opened allowed your tires to be replaced under warranty. Your feedback helps us continue to improve. If you need any further support, give us a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Great tire selection for my 2018 Cadillac XT5.
On my second set of PT A/S tires on my 2018 Cadillac XT5. Have 35,000 miles on them and looks like at least 15,000 miles left on them. We live in LA (lower Alabama) mainly rain and little chance of snow. No traction issues. As tires wear down the road noice increases on Bama back roads but quiet on interstate highways. I keep tires properly inflated and rotated as required at every dealer oil change. These tires are a good fit for my area and driving style. Will put my third set on in 2026. If you purchase through your dealer, they will rotate for free as needed at every service interval, maintain proper tire pressure and watch for any wear due to alignment issues.
Merely acceptable summer performance, terrible in snow
These Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires came factory-installed on my 2025 Chevy Blazer RS, and they are completely unsafe for "real" Canadian winter conditions, especially in Alberta. In dry weather they’re merely acceptable, but the moment temperatures dropped and snow appeared, they became outright dangerous. I had to drive over three hours in snowy conditions (Not whiteout conditions, just simply "winter" driving with some snow fall) with 3 passengers and could not safely exceed 70 km/h in a 110 km/h zone because the vehicle was constantly sliding and nearly fishtailing, even with light steering, gentle acceleration, and plenty of space. Traction was essentially nonexistent. The car never felt planted or predictable until the last bit of the drive where I was finally able to safely accelerate to the appropriate highway speed without feeling like I was putting my passengers in danger — there was A LOT of white-knuckle driving. For a tire marketed as “All-Season” and sold factory-equipped on a vehicle in Canada, this performance is honestly embarrassing. These tires provide zero confidence, zero winter grip, and zero margin for error once conditions are anything less than dry. If you live anywhere that sees snow, ice, or cold temperatures, avoid these tires entirely. I will be replacing them immediately, and will likely be going back to the CrossClimate2s

Awesome tires
It is an amazing tire that takes care of smooth riding.
Decent summer performance, quiet, but not good in snow
These were the OEM tires on my 2025 Genesis GV70 EV. They were fine in dry weather and rain, but with a little snow and cold in Michigan, they had no grip at all and felt downright dangerous, so I had them replaced at 2000 miles with the CrossClimate 2 tires, which have been much better.
We’re sorry to hear about the lack of grip in snowy and cold conditions. Your safety is our top priority, and we appreciate your feedback. We’re glad to hear the CrossClimate2 tires have improved your driving experience. If you need anything further, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

77k Miles
Although I was pushing it at the end, my OEM Primacy Tour A/S tires got me to 77,600 miles! I also changed my brakes, OEM too, if that shows you a little into my driving style. The style fits the design of my Genesis G70 Prestige 2.0 AWD perfectly, and the road noise has gone away once again.
Horrible tires
These tires came stock with my 2025 Honda Pilot. First issue i had, is i had a front right tire strike a curb at fairly low speed and blow out. The piece of the tire that blew out was literally in the shape of a square!!! That is like some kind of design defect. The tire also handles poorly on wet pavement. Driving down the tollway to Dallas was sketchy as if i hit any type of standing water, i could feel the front tires lose traction. IM now looking for better replacements for these tires that are less than a year old on a new vehicle.
