Michelin lists a limited tread-life warranty of 55,000 miles for H- and V-rated tires and 45,000 miles for W-rated tires.

The source also describes the Primacy Tour A/S: its asymmetric tread, wide outboard shoulder blocks and sweeping grooves are designed for a quiet ride, dry handling, lateral grip and water evacuation. Its construction has a two-ply polyester cord casing and two steel belts.

The Primacy A/S tread is described as providing wet-road traction and retaining traction as it wears, while reducing road noise and vibration. Full-depth grooves and sipes disperse water to help resist hydroplaning. The source also recommends the Premier A/S for drivers who often travel on wet roads.
