Michelin PRIMACY 3

Michelin Primacy 3 completely didn't fulfill its purpose despite the fact I have struggled with them for four months. I have a Volvo S60 T5 tuned to 290HP. The seller said they would do the job - they didn't. On dry they are even fine, but as soon as it starts to rain, TCS goes crazy; also they feathered after 6000 miles despite the fact my shocks are new and the whole suspension was replaced with new original parts. The tyres got so loud that you can't talk at 55 MPH. Michelin Primacy 3 are just another evidence for the fact that French things are just useless. My Volvo accelerates to almost 170 MPH, but if anyone wants to drive that fast, then not on these tyres despite the fact they are rated up to 186 MPH. I bought Michelin Primacy 3 two times - first and last time. This is just a waste of money. Read more Collapse

First of all, I do pretty much distance all around the country. I got new Michelin Primacy 3 tyres in April - a set of four 215/50 R17 XL 95 W. The car I fitted the tyres to is a Peugeot 5008 2.0 HDI. After 13 thousand miles mark hit in October, all I can do with them is to thow them into the bin as they wore off below the wear indicator. The tyre of such class should withstand at least 30-40 thousand miles in my opinion. I will definitely not buy Michelin Primacy 3 again. In dry conditions they brake superbly, but on wet or in muddy conditions - it's not even worth to talk about it. My driving style is dynamic, but without any aggressive maneuvers or braking if not necessary. Read more Collapse

Vybral jsem si tyto pneumatiky po rozhovoru s konzultantem na telefonu, vybral jsem několik modelů podle štítků a ceny, a požádal jsem o srovnání. Nakonec jsem po analýze návrhů prodávajícího koupil úplně jiný a dražší než jsem chtěl (Primacy 3) a jsem s nákupem velmi spokojený. Pneumatiky nejsou příliš hospodárné (nákup a vykořisťování), ale cítím se sebevědomě, bez ohledu na to, zda jedu na suché silnici nebo prší (jak v v zatáčkách, tak i při zrychlování / brzdění). Neměl jsem problém s vyvážením pneumatik, jsou mírně tiché. Jak jsem psal dříve - cena odpovídá kvalitě + značka Michelin podle mého názoru stále patří mezi nejlepší producenti pneumatik.

I didn't rate the looks of the tyres since that is not important to me. They are perfectly suited for both dry and wet surfaces. I asked for these tyres for my company's car but my bosses found slightly less expensive Nokian zLine 234/45 R17 97 Y XL which are also good, somewhat quiet but without anything exceptional about them; however, in rain they make a specific sound that may annoy some. With Michelin there were no bizarre situations like this (but take note of the height of the tyre - it is not the same). Anyway, I wrote about this because I regret that because of a paltry difference in price I was forced to experiment. Read more Collapse

The Michelin Primacy 3 tyres were problematic from the very moment I fitted them. Three out of 4 were vibrating during the check. When checking the tread during spinning, you could feel your hand jump. During driving above certain speeds I could feel vibrations on my steering wheel, and I could hear loud humming from the tyres. Unfortunately, Michelin Primacy 3 are an evidence that Michelin has dropped their quality level... The tyres were manufactured in Germany in 2013. Read more Collapse

When compared to Bridgestone the car came out on, I'm surprised by better grip of these - particularly on wet asphalt. They are quieter and softer, easily cross uneven terrain. When driving fast, they are predictable, they do not "remind" the user of their existence and do not "protest" when treated more harshly. Having driven 15000 km on them so far, they do not show much wear, there's no signs of cupping wear, microscopic cracks etc. A tyre worth recommending. Read more Collapse

I have the Michelin Primacy 3 tyres for a few seasons now. I did over 85000 miles, and the tread is still all right... However, I have to replace them because the rubber starts to decay, otherwise they would serve for one more season. I have nothing to complain about both on dry and on wet, I also forgot what ABS is... I wonder is I have it in the car now. Michelin Primacy 3 is a very durable tyre, worth the price paid for.

This is a great tyre from a performance view. Good on wet and dry conditions. Very low noise levels and a noticeably smoother ride in comparison to RFT tyres. However I was disappointed on the milage return and after 12000 miles my rear tyres are almost at the legal limit. I was expecting a better milage return having read previous reviews on this site. I don't know maybe its my style of driving!!?? Read more Collapse

Long ago have I learned that cheap things are for the poor so I believe that sometimes it's better to spend a bit more and enjoy a product that will last for longer and is much better as far as comfort, safety and looks are concerned. The tyre looks truly nice and after all that is an important element of this puzzle - a nice, polished shoe does make the heads turn. Recommended. Read more Collapse

I'm not sure what to say, they behave well and according to my expectations. So far I haven't been disappointed by anything (even the price felt as if it was a sale). I drive these tyres on a French car and I find these tyres to be very suitable: they do their job and I don't have to think about them. They're quiet and comfortable, stick to the road well. Read more Collapse

I drove on these about 3000 km. To this date, wear is not noticeable. On the rear seats you can hear the tyre, but this could be the result of insufficient soundproofing of the car. They behave correctly on dry and wet surface when driving calmly. I'm happy with those tyres, I would recommend the though I haven't driven much on them so far. Read more Collapse

Tyres have been used for around 15k km (6 months), ratio of city-outside of city-on highway being 40-35-25. Very good grip to the road, no slipping, the structure of the sides is strong, they are very quiet. Braking is good on both dry and in wet. They do wear fairly quickly but then again I've not driven a car with this intensity before. Read more Collapse

I'm no expert when it comes to technical parameters, chemical composition of the rubber, types of tread; I do not claim that there "technically" may be different, better tyres on the market. For me, personally, Michelin is never a disappointment when it comes to grip on curves or braking on dry/wet. I feel safe whilst on the road. Read more Collapse

Over the years, I stuck with Dunlop and Goodyear, once I also got Bridgestone, but Michelin is way ahead of them. My last Dunlops got as lous as a V8 without a muffler after three years. On Michelin Primacy 3, I got comport and silence. They grip the road like on tracks. I wish I bought Michelin Primacy 3 tyres much earlier... Read more Collapse

Replaced all four in my car for Michelin Primacy 3. Very happy with the choice. Very good price / quality ratio. No issues with leaks or anything like that. Very good grip on dry / wet surfaces. A little bit worse in icy conditions - but with carefull driving will bring you to your destination. Read more Collapse

Until now, I've been using many different tyres but never bought cheap ones. I had to consider whether it's worth to pay such a price as it was one of the highest, now I'm fully convinced. The next tyres I buy will also be Michelin, I heavily recommend them for a passenger car. Read more Collapse

Tyres great for different driving styles. They work well in the city, on the highway, on a winding road, in the rain and on dry asphalt. I would recommend them, but it is worth remembering that no tyre is no substitute for common sense. It is better to reach your destination. Read more Collapse

Michelin is a brand with tradition and great reputation, when choosing tyres from this manufacturer I was sure that I would be disappointed. All in all, I am very happy with these tyres, and I will certainly look into getting Michelins for winter from OPONEO. Cheers, Michal. Read more Collapse

Tyres handle well on both dry road and wet. They are quiet and comfortable. They perform very well on wet, are not susceptible to aquaplaning. For cornering at high speeds they are a bit weaker than Pirelli, but in the wet they're much better. Recommended. Read more Collapse

I travel a lot, fast and often above 160 km/h. At high speeds you can not hear the tyres. They are quiet, look beautiful and behave as I expect them to. I will not write more because there is no need, just a short summary: TYRES ARE WORTH RECOMMENDING. Read more Collapse

Tyres are great as always, Michelin fulfills all of my requirements. The only drawback is durability, or rather lack of it. These last only for 20-30 thousand kilometers but I'll still buy them again thanks to perfect grip they provide. Read more Collapse

The tyres are performing very, very well. there are no issues with them. The car runs great, well-chosen tyres are half the battle as far as driving and comfort are concerned. Michelin brand is great quality, I would recommend. Read more Collapse

Moved to Michelin, after using Bridgestone for years. I now have improved road holding, better MPG and reduced noise on the cabin. Cost about the same as Bridgestone, so the Michelin are in my view a better buy. Read more Collapse

I drive on this tyre for over half a year and they are amazing. Driving comfort is way above different tyres but you discover that only in situation where the tyre has to work - this one has yet to fail me! Read more Collapse

Michelin, Michelin and only Michelin; no other tire - these are quiet, economical, trouble-free, simply FABULOUS. For passenger cars and vans definitely recommended. For 4x4 I use other, special use ones. Read more Collapse

Rugged and sticking well to the road - especially in the wet. Some drawbacks: pebbles easily get stuck,which may cause irritation, and they are slightly noisier; but these are things you can get used to. Read more Collapse

Premium quality tyres. Maybe as of late the durability is slightly lower due to economic situation but the tyre's parameters are still peerless among tyres available on the market. Read more Collapse

Great grip on dry, excellent in wet. It really completes the behaviour of the car. A little on noisier than what I expected at high speeds. Read more Collapse

Would recommend, wet performance is key to me and these do the job OK. Very predictable and gradual understeer break away in the wet Read more Collapse

Excellent all rounders. Even been round the burvurgring on them and predictable and reliable. Good feedback in wet and dry. Read more Collapse

Very good all round stopping is reduced tested on dry and wet car park with friend with other tyre brand. Read more Collapse

No problems so far and none expected. Excellent tyres in all respects. Read more Collapse

Deep reserves of capability. All round balamced performance Read more Collapse

I had earlier on the official Mondeo 1.8 predecessor Primacy HP. I gave the car after 3 years with the course of about 80 thousand miles on these Samach summer tires with whom I went to the living room and the only set winter tires. On the next car also asked about Michelin dealer and picked up on Primacy3 Passat. After 4 years, I gave the car already in the first set of tires in decent shape at the meter reading over 90 thousand km. Therefore, I do not understand complaints about the rapid wear. Or unusual or switched geometry or children in the home are starting to borrow a car from my parents;). All parameters at a high level so I think Michelin a good investment. If the suspension feels the same comfort as a driver and it would probably be less tired and is not a problem. I highly recommend! Read more Collapse

I do not know how people drive on tires, saying that bad, the clash etc. I had the previous energy saver and I would have had them only trouble - cut tire and had to change, changed on the primacy 3 and do not regret anything, are great. Today in cracow it rained quite heavily and I decided to try them - they keep a great, ABS-u did not use and with no starts poking located only a collection of fast, if someone says with are weak, let him go to the racetrack, these are tires for driving, and not at the races, in my opinion great. I am very happy, the next donuts also will be Michelin, are the best. Read more Collapse

I have a cheerful driving on hilly roads, the old hp in my opinion were much better, more wear-resistant piping and the same grip ... if you want us to train with a 20/25 mila km (inverting to 10 thousand) are silent and very good in wet and dry situations. with the old primacy hp 55 thousand km with only 20 thousand 3 Read more Collapse

Tires fully met my expectations, great handling on both dry and wet surfaces, very good braking. Gently hear them inside while driving but it is acceptable. I'm doing 30 - 40 thousand km per year, while that on the Michelin Primacy3 made more than 20 thousand, and their condition is very good. Read more Collapse

Traction tires great, but far too quickly consumes. When buying was 7 mm tread now on the front axle is 5 mm on the rear of 6 mm. At the store also have michelinkę XSE and the tread is 8 mm. I wrote to michelina confirmed that the Primacy 3 tire of news is 7 mm ......... embarrassment. Read more Collapse

Total disappointment, much noisier primacy HP, rapid consumption of the shoulder and tread, with this new tire Michelin primacy 3 has completely lost its traditional characteristics of riding comfort and durability, not rimonterò after 4 trains Primacy HP Read more Collapse
