The Michelin Premier A/S is a premium all-season touring tire engineered around a singular safety philosophy: delivering exceptional wet-weather traction not just when new, but throughout the entire usable life of the tire. Designed for passenger cars, coupes, sedans, crossovers, and minivans, the Premier A/S provides year-round confidence across wet, dry, and light winter road conditions through three breakthrough technologies working in concert.
EverGrip™ Technology — Safe When New, Safe When Worn
EverGrip™ is Michelin's proprietary safety system that actively combats the wet traction loss common in conventional tires as they age. Rather than degrading over time, the Premier A/S sustains grip through two key tread innovations:
- Expanding Rain Grooves — Circumferential grooves are molded with a unique geometry that causes them to widen as the tread wears, helping maintain water-channeling capacity even as overall groove depth decreases.
- Emerging Grooves — More than 150 grooves are initially hidden beneath the tread surface and progressively open as the tire wears, delivering fresh water evacuation channels precisely when they are needed most.
High-Traction EverGrip™ Compound
The tread compound features a proprietary formulation with two active ingredients that sustain grip across a wide range of temperatures and conditions:
- Extreme Silica Content — High concentrations of silica provide the bonding strength and road adherence essential for exceptional traction on wet surfaces.
- Sunflower Oil Infusion — Integrated sunflower oil keeps the compound pliable in cold temperatures, maintaining flexibility and grip during winter driving.
Comfort Control Technology
Computer-optimized tread geometry and precision manufacturing processes minimize road noise and vibration, delivering the smooth, quiet ride expected from a premium touring tire without compromising all-season capability.
All-Season Performance Highlights
- Tread block and sipe design provide dedicated biting edges for traction in snow and slush
- Outstanding hydroplaning resistance maintained throughout the life of the tire
- Even when worn, stops shorter on wet roads than leading competitors' new tires
- Twin steel belts reinforced with spiral-polyamide cord for structural integrity and uniform ride quality
- Responsive steering and confident all-weather handling
Michelin Quality and Warranty
The Premier A/S is backed by a 6-year or 60,000-mile limited treadwear warranty, a 3-year roadside assistance program, and Michelin's standard limited warranty coverage. It represents Michelin's decades-long leadership in tire innovation — the same manufacturer that pioneered the radial tire and the widespread use of silica compounding in passenger tire construction.
