Review on Tires Michelin Primacy 3 205/55 R16 91V runFlat by Stanislaw Mirzalek ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

size 215/55 R16 97V, passat b6 sedan. I am not a racer and the characteristics of the tire, which are mainly shown in the tests, worried me a little when choosingrubber. I took it solely hoping that the expensive tire should not make noise. But it turned out to be noisy. I thought that the problem is in bearings, suspension or something else. I went to the service station, picked it up, looked, listened, checked, everything is fine with the car. I thought that I was nitpicking, I went to one friend on the trade wind, he has a Nexen and at 20 km / h he does not hear any noise from therubber at all. Then to another friend on the trade wind, he has a Pirelli noise, but it is quieter and his tires are 17th low-profile, and wider. Both trade winds are station wagons, and there should be noisier from the road anyway. I drove 700 km, well, let me think I’ll stop by for a tire fitting, let them check the balance again and look, maybe my wheels are still crooked or something is wrong withrubber. I arrived, voiced the problem of noise. Removed, checked everything, rebalanced, everything is smooth. they say tires on fire, wheels on fire. can't make noise. Well, they started joking further, you have the letter W glued on the back, which is probably why it makes noise. Well, like Michelin can not make noise. I tell the chief, let's take a ride. We sat down, drove down the hill from the tire shop at 20 km / h. People prifigel :) We returned to the tire fitting, he says to hiscomrades they really make noise, the whole road is audible. They lifted the machine, twisted and listened to the bearings, everything is gut. Well, they say shock. Another teammate bought tires exactly the same, here is hiscomment: "Plus. At the weekend, I also took a set of primacy 3, and was stunned by this noise that appears after 90 km / h. took Dunlop - now silence,compared to Michelin. " Still, later, when I began to dig for information on this model, I saw a test: . Shtml maybe 215/55 are noisy and other models will be quieter. Briefly disappointed. Well, if how much is there thousand. km noise does not really bother you, then ofcomurse you can take it. There was a review from a person who says that the tires are super in exactly the same size, I don’t know how.

Pros
  • I am sure that the figures for braking, aquaplaning, etc. are true.
Cons
  • very pronounced noise at low speed up to 30 km/h on 90% of Minsk roads
