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.

Premium Touring Tires: Elevating the Journey - 2024 Test 8 - With Winter Update (28:51)
Ultra High Performance All-Season tires are the best of the best when it comes to maximizing warm-weather traction while maintaining four-season usability. In this test, we compare 9 tires from this category to see what stands out and what leaves more to be desired.
Owners report excellent comfort with a smooth, quiet ride and strong scores (8-10) in treadwear, suggesting long tread life. Winter traction impresses in light snow, though some note mixed results on ice. Wet performance shines with reliable grip and hydroplaning resistance, earning consistent 8-10 ratings. Dry traction and handling receive near-perfect praise, described as responsive and confidence-inspiring. A few lower ice traction scores (3-5) highlight minor limitations in severe winter conditions, but overall feedback aligns with the tire’s grand touring all-season design, emphasizing balanced year-round capability and refined driving dynamics.

...I've only driven 320 miles so far, but I am blown away by... great wet traction...
For an OEM these tires surprise me. I've only driven 320 miles so far, but I am blown away by the ride comfort, noise comfort, great wet traction, fantastic dry traction, and their response to steering input.

...Traction in the wet seems good and no issues in the winter here in MN...
Got brand new take off Primacy XCs from a 2019 or 2020 and put them on my 2016 F150 with 64K miles at the time. Did a rotation recently at 94,500 miles (2nd rotation since I got them) and measured tread depths. Wear was surprisingly consistent front and rear. All four tires were within 7.5-8/32 of tread depth remaining. The Primacy's are spec'ed at 10.5/32 stock, so roughly 2.5-3/32 wear in 30K is pretty good in my opinion. Quite impressed with these. Not sure why they get such a bad rep. They are quiet. Obviously wearing very well for me. Traction in the wet seems good and no issues in the winter here in MN. They aren't snow tires afterall but did fine all last winter. I'd surely get another set, if anything would go to a Defender LTX. Will all come done to cost when it comes time to swap them. Probably good for another 30-50K miles with these Primacy XCs.

...The Michelin Primacy XC performance in slush and ice was unacceptable both in directional stability and braking, but it was an exciting experience. I will put the tires back on for summer use, but would strongly advise against them for winter use in areas that have snow.
These tires came on a new 2018 F-150 4X4. I replaced them but not before the first snow.

...However, in light snow and on any ice, they struggle to maintain traction.
This tire came with my new F150. The tires look good, are quiet and handle well on dry pavement. However, in light snow and on any ice, they struggle to maintain traction. I would not purchase these when replacements become necessary.

After 1 month, 700 miles, and 3 snow storms, these OEM tires went off to the wholesaler. I can't see why Ford would put these on a 4wd vehicle. They were very poor on packed snow.

...very comfortable, you dont have all the bumps and roughness you get from a truck. rides like a luxury car.
we really like the way the truck feels. very comfortable, you dont have all the bumps and roughness you get from a truck. rides like a luxury car. thats why we bought this type of truck and tires. only thing is disappointing is that we really wanted white wall tires but after waiting almost 3 months to get them, because of back ordered, i finally had to order them without white wall. i couldnt wait any longer for them since we had two tires splitting open and needed the safety of tire for driving.

...Great ride, low noise and very even tread wear...
My second set of this tire. Great ride, low noise and very even tread wear. I'm very happy with this tire.

...These tires are responsive, quiet and ride well...
I didn't expect to like these O.E.M.tires as much as I do. I usually replace O.E.M. tires immediately with BFG All-Terrain but I no longer need the off-road capability. These tires are responsive, quiet and ride well. So far they show no sign of wear. Just what I want from a on-road tire.

...I have 31K on them an all tires still have 7-8/32nds left on them. I drive almost exclusively highway loaded with 1K lbs or more 50% of the time... I will be buying another set in about a year with current rate of wear.
I'm always leery about OE tires, these are super quiet and seem to be wearing excellent. I have 31K on them an all tires still have 7-8/32nds left on them. I drive almost exclusively highway loaded with 1K lbs or more 50% of the time. They are not the best in snow and ice but if its that bad I just stay home. I will be buying another set in about a year with current rate of wear.

...They have also outlasted every other tire at almost 81k miles...
I got these tires when I bought my truck new. Wasn't a fan of them at first bc I didn't think they would hold up. I drive a mix of highway/city/off-road and I tow a large boat and these tires handled EVERYTHING. They have also outlasted every other tire I've ever owned at almost 81k miles. Would highly recommend for anyone driving an f150 or similar light duty truck.

...After 25,000 miles in and the tread is still looking good...
Made the switch from Goodyear Wranglers to these tires. 25,000 miles in and the tread is still looking good. Much smoother and quieter ride than the Wranglers in my opinion. Decent traction overall. Had a little trouble with mud, but I got out, so I can't complain. Great tire if most of your driving is on paved roads. Will buy again.
