Review on Tires Michelin Primacy 3 205/55 R16 91V runFlat by Micha Puzio ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

I needed to replace a MICHELIN Primacy HP that had worn out on a Ford Focus 2 with a factory size 205/55 r16, so I purchased this tire. The output of rubber in 2022 will be nicely balanced. There is a school of thought that "primacy 3" is a successor for the defunct "primacy HP" series, however I am unable to subscribe to this line of thinking. Primacy 3 is much quieter, and it provides a more comfortable experience when moving through joints and pits. It continues to have good stopping power and nearly little squeak when turned. BUT there is no longer any "drive," the steering wheel is noticeably lighter, the accuracy of reactions has vanished, and the sensation is far less intense. This behavior is comparable to that of not studying during the warm winter months. The sidewall, by the way, has grown even thinner than it was on HP; as a result, I am even more vigilant about watching out for potholes on the roads.

Pros
  • Quiet, comfy, nice grip
Cons
  • The sensation from the steering wheel is poor, and there is a tiny lag while making quick turns.
