Very good tires, used them for 55000km on a front heavy MPV (set of 4 standard equipped car). In dry they grip enough to let you topple the car in a very tight bend. In wet they are OK but you can get aquaplaning if they are more than half worn. I'm very pleased on how long they lasted with an even wear. Just a tad cheaper and they would make the perfect tire.

70.000 Km in two summers but i'll use them until october, so I think other 15.000 Km due the 3mm remaining. Very balanced tire on wet and dry , with no drawback. They have become noisy after the 60K. I think will change them with the new Primacy 3.

I have to say these tires are the best I've ever encountered. Despite being an F-rated tire for fuel economy / rolling resistance (suggesting excellent grip), I am getting around 48mpg for a mixture f country and minor A/B roads rising to around 56mpg for motorway and major A roads, which is comparable to Ford's quoted 55-56mpg - impressive.

Tread wear is excellent, after 12500 miles, they have around 2.5mm (I think they started at 8mm) or to put it another way after 12500 miles they now stand at 5.5mm - I should add that these were factory fitted having taken the car from the showroom.

Grip is excellent, I am running the 1.ol 125bhp engine, they are responsive maintaing grip from start, right through the driving range with no judder or wheelspin experienced from either lower quality or poorly maintained tires.
The tires also handle well in very wet / torrential rain, frost and ice having driven comfortably whilst maintaining composure at speed on the Herefordshire, Somerset and North & Mid Wales country roads during the winter storms of 2013-14.

The car corners well though it maintains too much grip for quick movements on sharper corners requiring dropping into the low driving range 1st/2nd gears which is a shame as momentum is lost, this is particularly an annoyance for me as the entrance to my street as almost a u-turn from a roundabout, the huge amounts of grip here or very unhelpful - it is these manoeuvres that really let the tire down as this is where you shall burn through the most amount of fuel.

From inside, the road feedback is good though on newly surfaced roads (not many of these in the UK), it can feel a little dull and almost too protected as though they want to maintain control rather than passing it to the driver (think nannying), though for me, this is a niggle rather than a huge set-back.

Comfort-wise, these tires really do deaden the noise and associated judder/bounce usually experienced when driving on Britain's roads.

All in all, a good all-rounder with excellent wear and grip on a mixture of roads through different driving styles (both myself and my wife drive differently - she goes mad in my car compared to he relaxed style in her Fiesta), that offers extremely good grip in both wet and dry without compromising too much on fuel economy - think the sole of a Dr Martens boot for wear and grip coupled with the flexibility, weight and performance of a good pair of running shoes: great for most roads and seasons.

Very poor grip in anything other than bone dry summer weather. With these tires I'd slide on cornering and wheel spin in 3rd gear. Fitted some Falken ze914 and the car is instantly transformed. No sliding on cornering, in dry or wet. No wheel spin / traction issues and much quieter.

They came with my new Peugeot 407.
After about 4 years and no more that 35,000 kms, nobody (including me) didn't understand how come that a pair of Michelin tires can became so noisy. To be mentioned here that the wear was more than OK (about 8 mm). I went with the vehicle in the specialised workshop (Peugeot) and the mechanics finally accepted that the bad-bad noise came from the tires. I replaced them and now I can listen to the music on the road, again. After this experience I'll never buy Michelin.

I am a driving instructor and had bridgestones on before these, looked into a diferent tire for a better price and found these, I did 28,000 miles on the last set so can't get any better than that just get your tracking sorted before fitting a new tire!

Good OEM tires for the car but when they wear out I will uppgrade to better and cheaper tires (Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2)

These tires came with the car I purchased and have been OK. I have managed to get 13000 miles out of them and they seemed alright but at £170 a corner, very steep! I've just fitted some budget tires at the front (Wanli S1063's) and they feel exactly the same, if not a little more grippy. I've no doubt the Michelins may well stop sooner in extreme wet braking, but the price is a bit much to swallow. I'm certain you could get the same performance for alot cheaper.

Poor handling after 40000 km. Too expensive.

These came as OEM fit on my new 2012 Mondeo Diesel Hatchback 1.6 TDi , and i think therein lies the problem. (my frame of reference is an older Skoda Octavia wearing Conti Premium contact 2's)
the Mondeo range when specced with this tiny diesel engine, comes with sports suspension as standard. the thinking is eco eco eco , so the suspension lowers the ride height to make it more aerodynamic on the motorway - all fine, but then they fitted it with Primacy HP's.
Gahhhhh...
Dry Grip - The suspension set up helps the tire feel the full brunt of any weight transfer, and they squeal like crazy on any corner taken above 30mph. they wash out in a VERY predictable nice way so it's enjoyable, but they do feel like you're driving on mud, triggering the electronic assists somewhat too often for my liking. Also, even for the low capacity engine, it always managed to wheelspin when trying to move off quickly, i suspect all down to the low rolling resistance compound.
Wet Grip - We had the storms over the past two weeks and the tire has poor resistance to aquaplaning, and cornering is severely compromised.
I cant remember thinking anything either way in the snow, so i guess thery're ok on the white stuff.
MPG's - were ok i suppose, hard to compare to anything when the engine is barely run in.
Comfort - again nothing to compare against but not overly intrusive.
Buy again?
no - just swapped the fronts for Dunlop Sport Blu Response and I was impressed there was stacks of grip I'd not known before, and zero squeal when i threw the car into my favourite sweeping bend.

I replaced my cheaper tires with Michelin and immediately noticed huge improvements in handling and noise. Also, my mpg has gone from 48.6mpg to 54.8mpg. Won't be long before I recoup the higher price.

Car: BMW 530D 2010 F10
Driving Style: >90mph on highway, round abouts in the city + hard braking
My review has been done now after 10 000 miles with these tires on the rear, and I recently upgraded on the front. Previous tire was Goodyear Excellence. I'm now down to 4mm and 7mm in the front.

Overall very happy with these tires, except the one noticeable difference negatively is braking compared to Goodyears. Goodyears feel/are more grippier in dry braking whereas Michellins are softer so give a more gradual break feel. Not sure this entirely instils the same level of confidence in a hard brake, but I am being highly critical here.

On the major plus side, high-speed road feel has improved as the tires feel more planted on the highway. Going around a rounabout has a lot more grip, especially in the wet. They do a feel a bit smoother, which is a plus, without taking too much away from "steering feedback".

In terms of wear, I honestly do expected these to last longer than they have. I mean, these will probably go up to 18k miles, which is basically about 18 months of driving on average. A lot of money I'd say. Mind you, my last Goodyear, lasted roughly 21k miles from new.

The core challenge is, with the BMW - tires make a huge impact on the car, and picking the wrong tire can have adverse affect on the overall car. I'd love to come off these run-flats, however - it's what BMW recommends so until I get someone bravely say "I've tried these other tires on the BMW and love'em" then my choice here is limited to Primacy, Excellence, Continental etc.

Overall - you can't go wrong in respect to ride quality.
