Review on Tires Michelin Primacy 3 205/55 R16 91V runFlat by Stanisaw Pirkowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

This is the third pair of Michelin tires that I have bought for my vehicle. Therefore, there is a basis for comparison. Prior to that, there was the Pilot Exalto and the Pilot Primacy series, both of which were available in the dimension 195/65 R15 91V. After that, I went out and purchased Michelin Primacy 3 tires in the size 225/45 R17 94V. Car Skoda Octavia A5 FL. It's been about a month and a half since I started using it. outlined both the positives and negatives. I was taken aback by how powerfully the Michelin "sang" at speeds ranging from 120 to 140 kilometers per hour. Prior to that, this was not something that was noticed on tires manufactured by this brand. I had the impression that the singing would stop after I had finished running. But no. I have already skated for 2500 kilometers, and they both continued to sing the whole time. This knowledge makes the entire experience of making the purchase more pleasant: ( Due to the fact that I am so dissatisfied with such a delay, I have decided to reduce the score overall. I believe that I should not have spent so much money on Michelin. I made the decision to learn more about Korean rubber in preparation for the future.

Pros
  • 1. Good road holding (no slip, good braking, no yaw) 2. Silent on good asphalt up to 120 kilometers per hour; on poor asphalt, however, any rubber will generate noise. 3. The risk of hydroplaning is significantly reduced while it is raining. 4. A high level of craftsmanship (my tires were manufactured in Germany). 5. The sidewall is not very soft, which is a benefit for low-profile rubber and is likely owing to the load index of 94.
Cons
  • 1. The rubber makes a very loud singing sound between 120 and 140 kilometers per hour. I had no idea that Michelin would do something like this. 2. An expensive price that is driven mostly by consumer demand and not by production expenses 3. It is strongly recommended that you do not drive on a wet primer because the tread is not at all designed to be driven on dirt. Because I only do it occasionally, this minus does not really matter to me.
