Review Summary
The reviews present a mixed sentiment about the tires. Some customers found the tires to have good traction, quiet ride, and long tread life. However, many reported issues such as poor tread life, poor performance in snow and ice, frequent punctures and blowouts, and vibrations at high speeds. Several customers were disappointed that the tires did not live up to the brand's reputation for quality. Many felt the tires were not suitable for off-road or heavy-duty use, and were not worth the high price.

Tread is too soft and easily chipped and cut
The 265/65/17 Privacy tires came on my new 2023 Nissan Frontier SV 4WD Truck. All four tires have 20-40 cuts and chips missing on the tread due to driving on limestone gravel roads for approximately 50 days/year for 3 years. The chips are fingernail sized and approximately 3/8" -1/2" deep. The left front tire is now leaking and becomes flat overnight. These tires came standard on a new 4WD truck and should survive small limestone gravel. The rubber seems to be entirely too soft for a truck tire. I do not recommend these tires.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Primacy LTX tires. This is not the performance we expect, especially on a truck application, and we understand your concerns with the tread chipping and air loss. We recommend having the tires inspected by an authorized tire retailer. Once you have the inspection results, please contact our Consumer Care team at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST) so we can assist.

Really Solid Tire
Despite all the negative reviews, these came standard on my santa cruz and I've driven them in Boston winters, the jersey shore, construction jobsites etc and they've performed super well. Notably, driving back up to Boston in january after winter break, I was cruising at 70 on the highway while it was snowy/rain mix and I felt totally safe in the grip department. In fresh snow on roads that are untreated they perform decent but nowhere near a dedicated winter or all-weather 3pmsf tire. I've towed 3,000 lbs with them on road trips a few times and they've done well. At 30K miles right now and very minimal wear showing. Not sure how people are getting horrible results with these but I've actually really enjoyed them. Only downside is snow traction, but that's to be understood considering it's an all-season and not 3pmsf. However, for the price, get something like the Cooper Traction Command--a far better all-around tire that is 3pmsf rated and will do the job in any condition while providing most of the primacy's handling and comfort benefits.
Disappointing Tread Life
Very disappointed. 36,000 miles and 2 are at 1/32 on 2 and 3/32. I purchased a new Jeep Grand Cherokee from my local Jeep dealership with these tires on it. I was very pleased to see Michelin tires on it. We are Michelin strong here in Greenville, SC. I have always been a big fan of the Primacy tires in the past. I have had them go 85,000 on another SUV. They were not LTX's back then. Also, These LTX's are much noisier than what I am used to from Michelin. We did everything right from the beginning. Always rotated at the dealership. Air always monitored and filled at the specifications. 36,000 miles on a brand new vehicle is unbelievable to me. Now I am on the hook to buy new tires because the dealership cannot even rotate them based on the tread. The dealership was no help either. Washed their hands with it and told me to take it up with Michelin. Then I saw the ratings of this tire on the Michelin site. Seems I am not alone.

Rides Well, Handles Well.. But literally blew out at 10,000 miles.. No nails or nothing.. I've gone through a lot of tires in my life and i have never the had a 10,000 mile tire blow out... I visually check my tires every day, and check air pressure once a week so yeah these tires are definitely low quality and too soft!!!!!

So I bought a Chevy Tahoe in 2024 brand new from dealership and these were the tires that came with we only use it for daily trips like taking kids to school etc. so far we’ve had to pay to get 2 fixed because of leaks and now a third one needs it. This is insane how low quality the tires are

Standard on 2025 Telluride - Excellent Tires
These tires came standard on my new Kia Telluride. I’ve put 1,500 miles on these and so far they have been excellent. Quiet and smooth with excellent dry and wet traction.
Nice Ride
Very smooth and quiet ride
Quiet tires but short life!
These tires were quiet and performed well but they only lasted 29k miles! But when I read the warranty it says the treadlife warranty doesnt apply to OEM installed tires even if you are the original owner of the car. Am i reading that right? This feels like way too few miles for a set of tires with normal use.
Thank you for your feedback on the Michelin Primacy LTX tires. We’re glad you liked the quiet ride, but we understand your concern with the mileage. OEM tires do not include a treadlife mileage warranty, but they are still covered for workmanship and materials. We agree that 29,000 miles can feel low and recommend visiting an authorized tire dealer for an inspection. Please have the dealer contact us with the results while you’re there at 866‑866‑6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

5/5 - Smooth, Quiet, and Confident on the RoadJoe
I've been really impressed with the Michelin Primacy LXT tires. They deliver a noticeably smooth and quiet ride, and the handling feels confident in all kinds of weather. The traction is solid, the steering response is crisp, and the overall comfort levels is exactly what I expected from Michelin. I highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their ride with something dependable and Premium. JoeCamel 2/19/2026
