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.

...The wet traction, dry traction and comfort/quietness are top-notch, and dramatically improved every aspect of driving on my 2021 Hyundai Kona...
Fantastic all-season tires only beaten in stability and cornering by the Pilot Sport AS4's I had purchased for a Hyundai Veloster N. Wet traction, dry traction and comfort/quietness are top-notch, and dramatically improved every aspect of driving on my 2021 Hyundai Kona. I noticed a dramatic decrease in road noise and a dramatic increase in driving dynamics from the cheap OEM tires that came with my vehicle. The Kona is by no means whatsoever a performance car, but the level of grip that these tires provide gives me full confidence during all conditions. Tire design is an often overlooked aspect of the motoring world, and these tires certainly look as good as they perform. Treadwear is fantastic, I have put over 20,000 miles on these tires since I bought them, and tread depth is still at 8/32". Overall fantastic tires, I would highly recommend these to anybody looking for a top-notch all-seaon tire.

The wet traction is superior to the dreadful Hankook originals -- the Tesla feels substantially grippier in rain, with no sense of imminent hydroplaning...
The Michelin Premier AS replaced a set of Hankook Ventus performance AS tires equipped on the Tesla at delivery. I opted for Michelin over my usual Goodyear purchase based on a positive experience with the CrossClimate2. The Premier AS retains the sporty driving dynamics of the Model 3 and significantly reduces road noise while improving ride comfort. The wet traction is superior to the dreadful Hankook originals -- the Tesla feels substantially grippier in rain, with no sense of imminent hydroplaning. The winter traction is among the better performing options in a typical AS tire, and provide a modicum of control on slippery roads. The Ventus rubber struggled to ascend the mild incline when leaving home, and the Michelins allow the Tesla's AWD to power the car forward without excess wheel spin. Cornering grip in light to moderate snow is above average.
Battery range is unaffected by the tire switch, a serious concern when replacing an EV's tires. Due to the Tesla's heft, I don't expect to reach the tread wear guarantee, so I won't stress about that aspect. I'll be happy if I safely reach 20-25,000 miles. Overall, the Premier AS works well with the Tesla, despite the lack of dedicated noise suppression that an EV-focused tire provides. I wouldn't hesitate to choose them on other vehicles, either.

Can't believe how inexpensive these Michelin's are compared to the other competitor tires. Noise and confort level far superior than the run-flats that came with my car. Dry and wet traction is superb. I even got to use these in the snow and they did pretty well considering. This is my second set of tires that I've purchased for the rear of my staggered setup BMW X3.

...My test drive was in deep snow on top of compacted snow (ice) and I was blown away by the traction and braking of these tires (and the all wheel drive Tucson). It was like all the other drivers were standing still. After just a few minutes of driving in these horrible conditions I had gained total confidence in these tires...
We bought our new Hyundai Tucson on February 11, 2019, in the middle of Seattles' "snowpocalypse". We couldn't drive our one-wheel drive truck anywhere, so the Hyundai salesperson drove the new Tucson down the steep, snow and ice covered roads to our house and brought us back up the hill to the dealership to complete the purchase. On the ride back up we thought the salesperson was driving like a maniac --especially braking while following another vehicle "way too close"-- considering the dreadful road conditions, but that all changed when I got behind the wheel! My test drive was in deep snow on top of compacted snow (ice) and I was blown away by the traction and braking of these tires (and the all wheel drive Tucson). It was like all the other drivers were standing still. After just a few minutes of driving in these horrible conditions I had gained total confidence in these tires. I drove a lot over the next two days on deep snow, ice and heavy, deep slush --always on steep hills-- and the tires were flawless. This review is all about the impressive snow and ice traction and braking, but I feel the ride is also very nice, noise is fairly low, at least for new tires, and cornering is impressive for a tire that rides this nice.

First time I've had an OEM tire not be terrible. In fact, they are fantastic. They been through three snowstorms now, and handled it with aplomb. More than enough dry grip for my Tucson,even in sport mode with the pedal to the floor.
Treadwear is better than expected.

...I've been to both winter and summer, and now that I have an hour commute to work... Outstanding dry performance, respectable winter performance, and combined with a 4 Wheel Dr., this vehicle can go in any season
When I bought my Stinger GT2, I had already done extensive research on tires for both a new vehicle and cancel replacement for used, including symmetric and staggered. When I realized what tires came with my new stinger, I was surprised, because auto makers often use cost as the main driver for tires selection, putting inferior tires on high performance vehicles. These tires are phenomenal, especially considering they’re OEM. I’ve been to both winter and summer, and now that I have an hour commute to work. I would easily buy these tires again. Outstanding dry performance, respectable winter performance, and combined with a 4 Wheel Dr., this vehicle can go in any season

...Dry performance is pretty fantastic, no issues there, lots of grip and great cornering...
I don't know how these tires have a high wet rating, in my experience they've been hot garbage in wet conditions. I feel like I'm hydroplaning all the time, and any time I need to go around a curve I have to slow well below the speed limit because I can feel my car slip at the slightest turn. I haven't been able to test a lot in the snow, but what I have has been ok, but not great. Luckily this wet performance has gotten better over time, like after 20k miles, and I can drive almost normal what I would expect for wet conditions now near the end of the tire life.
Dry performance is pretty fantastic, no issues there, lots of grip and great cornering.
Treadwear is astounding. I'm at 38k miles now and I still have around 5+mm left before I get to the tread wear indicator. So, it seems like I could possibly get 50k miles out of these tires.
I probably wouldn't get these tires again unless they're the last higher end tire available.

...Very capable in all driving conditions I've taken them through, dry to 3 inches of snow. Never question the traction...
Drove the new set of tires across the country immediately after mounting them -- a definite improvement over the stock Dunlops they replaced. Road noise and ride comfort significantly improved. Very capable in all driving conditions I've taken them through, dry to 3 inches of snow. Never question the traction. Very little wear so far. Overall, very pleased and almost definitely would buy the same set again.

...I am totally shocked and amazed at how much the ride quality has changed with these tires... These tires so far are a 10/10 if ride quality and comfort is what you are looking for...
My Lexus RX350 came standard with Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus. These tires were just Okay and at some point, I even went to the dealership to complain that my ride had become rough and bumpy and asked them to look at my suspension. That all checked out and just left me wondering what ever happened to my comfortable ride I had the first year of owning my car. I am totally shocked and amazed at how much the ride quality has changed with these tires. Why Lexus would go for an inferior tire as standard equipment is beyond me. These tires so far are a 10/10 if ride quality and comfort is what you are looking for. I highly recommend these tires.

...They're extremely comfortable and have pretty low noise...
Great tires when on sale. I bought mine at Walmart in 245/40/19 size for my Model 3 Long Range AWD for $125/tire. At that price, I don't think these can be beat. They're extremely comfortable and have pretty low noise. They do very well in wet and hydroplaning resistance, and have good braking and acceleration (which is absurd in the Tesla). When cornering hard, I think they give up a little easier than I'd like, but they're GT A/S tires, so I think for the class they're definitely acceptable. I have winter tires so I'll never know the snow performance, but based on the tread pattern, I think that if you plan on using these in snowy conditions, I might look at another tire since there's not a ton of siping. I can't comment on wear as I only have 1,000 miles, but also the Tesla is extremely heavy, so wear is a little unfair to asses with this car. I don't think I'd pay full retail price of $200+/tire, but on sale these are a steal, and 10/10 would recommend.

...I drove these until there was less than 1/32nd of the tread left. Hydroplaning started to become noticeable after 2/32nds going past 50mph. Even being completely worn down past the wear markers it's still quiet and handles rain alright which is crazy...
Car originally came with Continental ContiProContact which were terrible in the rain since new. Much more comfortable, and quiet than the tires it replaced. I drove these until there was less than 1/32nd of the tread left. Hydroplaning started to become noticeable after 2/32nds going past 50mph. Even being completely worn down past the wear markers it's still quiet and handles rain alright which is crazy. I mostly drive as efficiently as possible but for a touring tire it's got serious grip. Have had a couple of trips pushing them hard through Tail of the Dragon and very sticky for an a/s. If you have a 10th or 11th gen Civic with 18inch wheels, and you want all seasons this is probably the one.

I drive about 70% city and 30% Highway. The Primacy MXM4's wore down to wear bars in 24,000 miles on this vehicle. Replaced with Primacy Tour A/S under tread wear warranty for a very good price. The new Tour A/S appears to handle just as well as new MXM4's and seem to be quieter, very smooth tire with that solid feel when you go over bumps or train tracks. My MPG has not changed from the worn MXM4 tires to new Tour A/s tires. Michelin claims a 17% improvement in snow and a better tread wear rating on the Tour A/S. We shall see when we head into winter how they perform in the snow and the tread depth as the tire wears.
