Review on Tires Michelin Primacy 3 205/55 R16 91V runFlat by Adam Wiedemann ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe I'll buy it again.

It's been in use for the past three months. Since I did not immediately write a review on the tires, I was able to give some time for my impression of them to mature. So. After acquiring Michelin X-ice 3 winter tires, which truly impressed with both their comfort and performance, the choice of summer tires came down to the firm Michelin. Only the most favorable impressions survived in all of the conditions, with the exception of complete ice. Kama Euro summer tires came equipped on the new Subaru Outback that was purchased. After installing the Michelin X-ice 3 on the prior Subaru, it was physically impossible to ride it for even a single day. Purchased some Michelin Primacy 3 tires and expected a miracle, much like I did with the Michelin X-ice 3 tires. But it did not happen. In the spring, when temperatures reach up to +10 degrees Celsius, rubber is not noticeably superior to kama in terms of acoustic comfort or stiffness. Because of the level of noise, I had no choice but to drive to the nearest service shop to check if the bearings in my car were making a buzzing sound. It turned out that there were no problems throughout the ride in the elevator. Therefore, I am unable to fathom how this rubber could have appeared to someone as calm and gentle. I went to Bridgestone and Dunlop with full faith, and I can say without a doubt that the Michelin Primacy 3 is much noisier and more durable. But. When the temperature reached plus 25, the tires began to roll in, and the level of noise decreased; however, the rigidity did not change. This is of the utmost importance for a Subaru, which typically has a pretty firm suspension. Further. When traveling on the same road as before (with a turn of 180 degrees), one is able to sense the superiority of this tire over the Bridgestone and Dunlop tires that were used previously. There is neither an additional sound nor any slippage when turning or making sharp turns. It is also easy to see that this tire is economical. I don't think it's a terrible result to get 12.8 or even less l. / 100km in the city with a 3-liter engine (before 14 l. / 100km), especially considering the competition. Additionally, it has a good resistance to wear. 4000 km., wear is not noticeable. In a nutshell, who should use this tire, and is it possible to recommend it to someone else for purchase? If you drive a car with a supple suspension, such as a Toyota, Lexus, Mercedes, or one of the other brands mentioned above, you may. This tire is excellent in quality. If the suspension is firm, you might want to reconsider. Buying is something I highly encourage doing.

Pros
  • - Efficiency in both handling and making money - Resilience to wear and tear
Cons
  • - The ease of the acoustics - The rigidity
