Michelin Primacy Tour AS 225/45R21 95W Tire

The Quietest Grand Touring All-Season Tire in Its Class — Michelin Primacy Tour A/S 225/45R21 95W

For drivers of premium luxury sedans, coupes, crossovers, and SUVs running 21-inch wheels — vehicles where silence, refinement, and composed all-season performance define the driving experience — the Michelin Primacy Tour A/S 225/45R21 95W is the tire that sets the standard for what a grand touring all-season tire should feel like. Trusted as original equipment by the most demanding premium vehicle manufacturers in the world, this tire has earned its place on 21-inch wheels through a combination of engineering achievements that competing tires in its class simply cannot match.

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.

Chosen by leading premium car manufacturers like Acura, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Cadillac — brands whose engineering teams subject tires to the most rigorous OE evaluation processes in the automotive industry — the Primacy Tour A/S earns this trust through measurable, test-verified performance advantages across every metric that matters to luxury vehicle drivers.

Thanks to its innovative PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning, which includes frequency cancelling shoulder grooves and block chamfers, you can say goodbye to road noise and hello to tranquility. Whether you’re cruising on the highway or navigating city streets, this tire ensures that your journeys are peaceful and enjoyable. The result is a tire that has earned the distinction of featuring the quietest tread design among leading competitors — a claim independently verified through objective interior noise tests comparing the Primacy Tour A/S against the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus, Continental PureContact, Pirelli Cinturato P7 All-Season Plus, and Goodyear Assurance ComforTred.

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.

Real-world Michelin Primacy Tour A/S drivers confirm this performance: “These tires are QUIET!!! The wet traction is far superior to the original tires. Well done Michelin.” And: “Wet traction, dry traction and comfort/quietness are top-notch, and dramatically improved every aspect of driving on my 2021 Hyundai Kona.
