Does this tire fit your vehicle?

Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

Standard Touring All-Season tires are for drivers who want a combination of sporty appearance, long wear, predictable handling and S- or T-speed rated durability, along with all-season traction including in light snow. Standard Touring All-Season tires branded with the M+S symbol are often used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on sporty coupes and sedans.

O.E. Standard Touring All-Season tires are typically purchased as direct replacements for worn-out pairs/sets of the vehicle's original tires. They can also be used for other vehicle applications in complete sets of four or axle pairs if available in an appropriate size, load range and speed rating to match the existing O.E. tires' performance category and specifications.

...Mid range in rain, many water puddle on track. No hydroplaning at all. Wet traction is not ideal as RE-71R, but 71R can't protect you from hydroplaning...

OEM tire on BRZ. I race BRZ in 86 cup. Never liked the OEM tire, but last time when it was raining. I had no choice to use this tire. (The other set is NT01 R compond that already down to slick.) Mid range rain, many water puddle on track. No hydroplaning at all. Wet traction is not ideal as RE-71R, but 71R can't protect you from hydroplaning. I tracked this tire on dry before and believe this thing is worse than crap. But it supprised me last weekend. For BRZ owner that track your car on tread wear lower than 200, I would suggest don't throw away the OEM tire.

...I recently took it on a long trip of 900+ miles and it was pouring rain the entire time. I have to say that I was incredibly impressed how well this tire was in the rain! This tire performed better ( absolutely ZERO hydroplaning) than the Bridgestone tires I have on my other car that were specifically made for rainy conditions and this is a much lighter weight car too...

I've only had my car for a month or so, but I recently took it on a long trip of 900+ miles and it was pouring rain the entire time. I have to say that I was incredibly impressed how well this tire was in the rain! This tire performed better (absolutely ZERO hydroplaning)than the Bridgestone tires I have on my other car that were specifically made for rainy conditions and this is a much lighter weight car too. I will write another review when I have more mileage on them, but so far, I'm extremely impressed. Yes, the tire is low-profile (so not much cushion there) but it handles like a dream! Yes, the tire is noisy (common with this type of performance tire) but not overly so. Yes, there is a little bit of slippage on dry pavement.... but that is exactly what makes this car/ tire combo so much fun. Perfect for the "drift" ;-)

...They give you a great deal of confidence in that they hold to the road very well and won't lose grip until you push them to their limits. Once you back off the grip is right there were it was, they are very consistent in this manner...

These tires came on my Subaru BRZ and I was very happy that they did. Knowing that Michelin uses a lot of tire technology that they've developed in world-class sports car racing made me excited to have such a tire on my new car. I'd driven around town and on the highway and had been very impressed with the responsiveness of the tire. They give you a great deal of confidence in that they hold to the road very well and won't lose grip until you push them to their limits. Once you back off the grip is right there were it was, they are very consistent in this manner.
However it wasn't until last weekend that I truly understood how good a tire these are. I drove to The Tail of the Dragon on the North Carolina/Tennessee border (if you've never heard of it google it) for some driving adventure. This is where the Primacy tires really showed their potential and how hard they can be driven! They allowed me to dive into sharp as can be turns with great speed, and then exit the turn and get back on the gas immediately. They were again very consistent, I knew when they were going to start losing grip. It really did take some very aggressive driving to get them to their limits though. Another guy in front of me had a BRZ with a turbo and rally-cross super sticky tires. I don't think it was all because of my driving skills that allowed me to keep pace with him, I shouldn't have been able to, he had a huge advantage on me. But again, I was able to get back on the power immediately upon exit. I'm tempted now to try their Pilot Super Sport tire, but I think I'll get many more miles of enjoyment out of the Primacy. Seeing as how these are a summer tire I'll probably switch over to the Pilot Sport AS/3 once the temperatures drop, but until then I'll be tearing up the roads on these Primacy tires! Well done Michelin, well done!

A good looking tire. The comfort is what I expect from a low profile tire and the performance is above par on dry hard surfaces. A perfect tire for a daily driver and occasional fun driving on twisting roads.

Although Renault are known for their great handling, only a good tire will make this come alive... great grip, ware-rate and handling.

Although Renault are known for their great handling, only a good tire will make this come alive. I've had my Primacy HP on my Megane Hatch 08 for over 61,000 km (38,000 miles) now, and despite my aggressive driving style, they're still in a very good condition, even according to the dealer! great grip, ware-rate and handling.

...The ride, handling, lack of road noise, and comfort are above my expectations...

I selected this tire because of previous experience on another car. I found that the tire has proved itself in all areas to be even better than I expected on this car with sport suspension. The ride, handling, lack of road noise, and comfort are above my expectations. Tread life at this point is great.
I would recommend this tire, and will use it again.

...Even the tread wear on the new michelins is much better than I expected, 20000km and still have 50% tread left.

Changed from Dunplo Sport SP6060 to these after 50000km, I noticed a big improvement in handling and noise levels even fuel economy! Great tire over all. Even the tread wear on the new michelins is much better than I expected, 20000km and still have 50% tread left.
