Review Summary
Customers report mixed experiences with these all-season tires. Many praise the exceptionally quiet, smooth ride and strong handling on highways, with reviewers consistently highlighting noise reduction and stable cornering. However, a substantial group expresses significant disappointment with premature wear, reporting tread degradation well before expected mileage—some needing replacement at 20,000 to 30,000 miles. While satisfied customers commend traction and performance, those experiencing rapid wear feel let down by durability expectations. A few note additional concerns including harmonic noise and snow performance issues. Overall, the divide between positive ride quality and negative longevity experiences creates notably split customer sentiment.

Very Poor Life
I shifted from Pirellis to AS4 on my Mercedes 350 GLE. These tyres have lasted me only 22000 miles in spite of alignment, regular 5000 interval rotation. The tyre dealer is also confused. The promise was 45000 miles. It is very hard to get warranty claims too. Michelin, can you help? I have been a Die hard Michelin fan over 20+ years across countries i have lived and driven. I am willing to make a shift because it is causing grief and unwarranted expenses.

Bad Experience!
I purchased a set of 4 Defender LTX Platinum tires for my Silverado 2500hd since the Defender LTX M/2 is no longer available for my truck. I drove for about a week with constant tire noise and vibrations at 60 to 70 mph. Returned them for a new set and they did the same even though everyone said it could be the tire. I had my truck checked thoroughly and found nothing wrong. Switched for a different brand tire Toyo and all of my issues went away. Poor tire and poor customer service!

Very Disappointed
Have had nothing but Michelins on my multiple Acura MDX vehicles for decades. They have been great. Put these on in September. Road force balanced. Vehicle aligned. Result is that steering is vague. Vehicle always feels like it’s running over a rough surface. Old tires these replaced had very true steering, great handling and afforded a very smooth ride. These Primacy Tours are awful! Going back to dealer to seek different tires.

Pneus très bruyants
Très décevant…j’ai payé cher pour acheter ces pneus qui sont réputés pour être les plus silencieux et ils sont excessivement bruyants et désagréables.

>> 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 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.
