No issues! the tires delivered all that was expected.
Good, hope they don’t tire out early
I have the primacy’s on my 2026 Kia sportage hybrid and find they ride quiet and handle well , I have 2800 miles on them I see if they will last, some have stated that they go bad quickly
UNSAFE!
Dangerously poor performance in icy/snowy/slushy weather. These tires came stock on my Volvo EX30 cross country. After 1 week of ownership, I had my first opportunity to drive it in New Jersey icy mix slushy weather and the car was unable to maintain traction and control while just cruising straight, in the tire paths, well below the speed limits, while crappy 2-wheel drive sedans were confidently and safely outperforming my car. And forget about slight bends or turns. I was so disturbed and shocked by the performance that immediately upon returning home, I got in my volvo xc40, which is a lighter vehicle equipped with firestone firehawks, and the thing handle the same exact conditions like a beast. The difference was night and day. The xc40 with cheaper, older tires was like a mountain goat while the ex30 with Michelin primacy's was like bambi on ice. It's irresponsible for Michelin to keep selling these, at the very least, as an all-season tire. I doubt they will discontinue them, but they should.

No durability
These tires lose tread quickly and will not last. It only took 8000 miles to consume over half of the tires tread. If your vehicle comes with these tires do your best to get them changed.
Thanks for your review and we’re sorry about the tread wear you’ve seen. Tread life can vary due to tire alignment, pressure, rotation and driving conditions. We recommend visiting an authorized dealer for a thorough tire inspection. For further discussion, feel free to give our Consumer Care team a call.

Unsafe tires buyer beware
Hands down the most unsafe tire to ever be put on the road. These are not all season tires. Sucks that I have to shell out more money for tires to feel safe

Nice tire
Replaced OEM Bridgestone Ecopa on Mazda CX 9 signature. Quieter ride, seems a bit more responsive as well. Can’t say about wet weather as yet. Sorry my size is only H rated.
NOT an All Season Tire!
One star... 1 star! Hopefully Michelin pays attention because they fit the definition of terrible tires. I would LOVE a recall on these tires; Michelin, if you read this, please consider a recall to save your reputation of making great tires! These are the original equipment (OE) tires on our 2024 Cadillac Lyriq. We have over 12,000 miles on them and they are on track for over 36,000 (we don't drive it hard). Issues: 1. TERRIBLE in rainy weather. 2. WORSE in the snow. and 3. work fine in the summer and the dry, but VERY LIMITED grip in the sub-zero temps. Unsure how Michelin can call them "All Season." The tire feedback is decent if the weather is warm. We've had them balanced and aligned every spring and fall, so the wear remains decent. I will be glad when we can replace them with Michelin X-Ice. I've had three sets of X-ice (for a car and an suv) and they were AMAZING!!! Highly recommend avoiding the Primacy All Seasons, but fully recommend the X-Ice.

So far so good. Tires drive good and ride good with no noses. My only concern is durability and wear and tear. The tires that came on my car when we purchased it new didn’t last as long as expected or through out the warranty. I’m paying close attention to this first purchase on my own to ensure the tires are rotated and balanced properly in case these don’t last as long as the warranty states.
Best tires I have ever had!
My 2022 Ford Explorer had Primacy A/S tires. They were quiet and smooth, they wore evenly, and lasted almost 70,000 miles. I think these are the best tires I have ever had, so I bought them again!
