Michelin PRIMACY ALPIN PA3 - User reviews

Sort:
dallas
3.64
I bought these tyres in September 2008, the DOT was the beginning of 2008. For the first two seasons they were doing great. They were fitted to a Golf IV 1.9 TDI 160 HP. The third season was a total disaster, it wasn't possible for them to drive on snow or ice. The distance I did on them was about 9000 miles, tread depth was 7 mm, but the rubber had become so hard, that I was afraid to press the brake pedal on snowy road, not to mention about braking on ice or cornering. I had no choice - I had to buy new tyres. I chose Dunlop SP Winter Response. As for now, I am even more satisfied with them than with the Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 at the beginning. To me, Michelin is only a legend - and a waste of money.

Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 is a good tyre, but it doesn't have any grip on ice or ice covered with snow. Other than that, I'm very satisfied.
