Michelin Premier A/S

The Michelin Premier A/S is a solid choice for drivers who value comfort and noise reduction in a grand touring all-season tire. Its comfort and noise scores both meet the category benchmarks, making it a strong candidate for those long highway drives. The treadwear rating of 640 suggests a longer lifespan compared to the average, although the 60,000-mile warranty falls slightly short of the category's average warranty. In terms of wet grip, the Premier A/S performs slightly above average, providing dependable traction in rainy conditions. However, its dry grip score is marginally below the category average, which might be a consideration for drivers who occasionally push their vehicles harder. The 'R' speed rating is a limitation for those who need higher speed capabilities, especially when compared to competitors like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+. When considering competitors, the General AltiMAX RT45 and BFGoodrich Advantage Control offer similar comfort levels, but with potentially higher speed ratings. The Premier A/S is best suited for drivers who prioritize comfort and longevity over high-speed performance. If high-speed capability is a priority, consider alternatives with higher speed ratings.
