AVIS PNEU Primacy Tour A/S

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.

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.

So nice and Quiet

Nice riding tire, so quiet,great traction

Best choice

great tires, excellent traction for dry road especially on wet road.

comfort, performance

I love the quiet, comfort, and luxury ride these tires provide. Yet, I am very unsatisfied with the tread life. My tires were completely worn at 50,000 miles. With the expense, expected quality, and performance am very disappointed. Michelin has always provided me top quality. My family, including my grandparents, have always owned Michelin and nothing else. My grandfather was in the tire business for 30 years and always owned Michelin. They need to make the life of the tire last longer. I have always exceeded the warranty rating on every Michelin tire that I have owned until now.
