The Primacy Tour A/S is Michelin's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of family sedans, coupes, crossovers and SUVs looking to maximize ride and noise comfort and maintain year-round traction. The Primacy Tour A/S is designed to deliver a premium driving experience combined with all-season capability, even in light snow.
The five-rib pattern of the Primacy Tour A/S's asymmetric tread design is tuned to provide the refined, quiet ride expected of a luxury touring tire. Wide outboard shoulder blocks aid dry handling and lateral grip, and sweeping grooves help evacuate water for hydroplaning resistance. Zigzag sipes located in the center and inboard ribs, as well as the inside shoulder, provide traction in snow and on ice.
The internal construction of the Primacy Tour A/S consists of a two-ply, polyester cord casing that promotes ride comfort, and two steel belts stabilize the tread. A single, polyamide reinforcement aids handling and delivers high-speed capability.
El neumático Primacy Tour A/S de Michelin pertenece a la categoría: Gran Turismo Para Toda Estación. Fue desarrollado para conductores de sedanes familiares, cupé, utiliautos (crossovers) y utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés), que buscan maximizar el confort del andar y ruido, manteniendo la tracción, durante todas las estaciones del año. El Primacy Tour A/S ha sido diseñado para ofrecer una experiencia de manejo inigualable, combinada con la capacidad de su uso durante todas las estaciones del año, incluyendo el invierno y superficies con poca nieve.
El patrón simétrico de la banda de rodamiento con cinco segmentos del Primacy Tour A/S, ha sido ajustado para proporcionar un andar refinado y tranquilo, como se espera de un neumático de turismo de lujo. Bloques anchos en el hombro exterior ayudan con la maniobrabilidad en condiciones secas y el agarre lateral, mientras que, ranuras laterales, ayudan a evacuar el agua y aumentar la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Pequeñas ranuras sobre los bloques en el segmento central, interno y hombro interno, proporcionan tracción sobre superficies con hielo y nieve.
La construcción interna del Primacy Tour A/S cuenta con una estructura de dos capas de cordón de poliéster, para proporcionar comodidad al andar, mientras que, dos correas de acero estabilizan la banda de rodamiento. Un capa de refuerzo de poliamida, mejora la maniobrabilidad y la capacidad de rodar a velocidades elevadas.

Tire Rack Test Results Michelin Primacy Tour A/S
All-Weather vs. Winter Tires: The Definitive Test(12:05)
Brent and TJ set off with a couple of objectives in this, the first test of 2026. The first is to highlight the differences between two types of Grand Touring tires: all-season and all-weather. Second, to see how they stack up to dedicated winter tires. The internet is a great resource, but not all the information out there is accurate, and this test is designed to truly set the record straight.
Feedback patterns show the Michelin Primacy A/S excels in dry traction (9-10 scores dominate) with precise steering and stable cornering, earning praise for confident handling. Wet traction and hydroplaning resistance are strong (8-10 averages), while winter performance impresses in snow, though ice traction shows occasional 5-7 scores. Treadwear receives widespread praise (many 9-10s) with a few outliers noting lower longevity. Comfort stands out with smooth ride quality and minimal noise (8-10s), aligning well with its touring focus. As an all-season tire, it delivers balanced year-round capability, with most customers highlighting reliability for daily driving and highway use.

...The traction is more than adequate in both wet and dry. It's not quite as good as the CrossClimate2 (my "winter" tire) with steering response or wet traction...
These tires came on my 2025 Model 3 Long Range. They are significantly better in every way than the older Michelin MXM4 that came OEM on the legacy Model 3. The traction is more than adequate in both wet and dry. The steering response is astronomically better than the MXM4 (which at times I questioned if a wheel was loose because of the soft sidewalls) but does not compromise ride comfort. It’s not quite as good as the CrossClimate2 (my “winter” tire) with steering response or wet traction. But it this Primacy A/S has excellent rolling resistance and quiet tread. I notice the road noise increases significantly at 44-45 PSI and higher … so I keep my tires around 40-41 cold.

...They handled the snow and wet roads way better than expected, pleasantly surprised by their performance!! I do drive in all weather conditions for work daily so I'm a pretty confident driver and these tires give me the confidence I'm looking for...
These came as the OEM tires on my 23 Corolla SE. I did put Eibach lowering springs on the vehicle which lowered the vehicle 2 inches.
This is my daily vehicle and my first Wisconsin winter with this set up was surprising. I usually run snow tires but being that these tires were pretty much brand new I figured I’d give them a shot at winter.
They handled the snow and wet roads way better than expected, pleasantly surprised by their performance!! I do drive in all weather conditions for work daily so I’m a pretty confident driver and these tires give me the confidence I’m looking for.
Time will tell though, as I’ve only got about 17k on them.

Winter traction receives strong ratings with most scoring 8s and 9s in snow and deep snow, showing confident grip. Ice traction has some variability but many rate it 7-8, offering reliable all-season performance for typical winter conditions.

Surprisingly excellent, especially for an OEM tire. Handled a blizzard on I-90 where none of the four lanes were visible through the packed snow. Hyundai HTrac I'm sure helped.

...Tire performance was definitely best in dry conditions as I was able to avoid a collision while in a traffic circle with no loss traction (~ 35 MPH) at all...
Came as OEM on my vehicle. Held up for the past 3 Wisconsin winters pretty well considering average of ~3in of snow.
Most of the issues I faced was in deep snow (3+ in) where the tires would partially hold traction leading to some wider than anticipated turns when going about 10-15 MPH.
Tire performance was definitely best in dry conditions as I was able to avoid a collision while in a traffic circle by moving towards the inner lane with no loss traction (~35 MPH) at all.
In wet conditions tire was reliable at higher speeds (~80-100 MPH) with no concerns of hydroplaning. Cornering did make the tires chirp audibly in the cabin with some mild understeer (>35 MPH).
With all of the above considered, my biggest gripe was the tread wear. At ~3/32 after 30k miles.

Bought two matching replacement tires as one tire was ruined due to a road hazard. These are the OEM tires.
This is a very comfortable and quiet tire. It is one of the best I have experienced in this regard. Wet performance is more than adequate. This is a smooth riding tire that soaks up road impacts and has low rolling resistance. Cornering is predicable with lots of warning before slip occurs. This said, it is not a performance tire. Those looking for high performance and high cornering limits should look elsewhere.

...I got 77,000 miles out of mine! Granted, that was mostly highway driving, and I am now a bit below the wear bars, but 77,000 miles is fantastic...
I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews for treadwear life. I got 77,000 miles out of mine! Granted, that was mostly highway driving, and I am now a bit below the wear bars, but 77,000 miles is fantastic. And I sometimes do some spirited driving in the NC mountains, so it's not all highway miles. They are very expensive, so I haven't decided yet if I will buy them again or not.
