- I bought a michelin energy saver ford focus3 instead. I am very pleased that I replaced it and did not waste my money! For a long time I chose between Primacy and Continental . Smartly keeps the car at speeds up to and more than 120-140 km, I began to feel less speed, drive faster, directional stability is at a height, control is much better! It became noticeably quieter in the cabin, even with unglued wheel arches, little noisy, light, not annoying rustling from rough asphalt pavement, I didn’t notice any rumble at different speeds, on the same roads - in my opinion it became quieter in the cabin! With native Michelin Energy North, there were vibrations in the cabin and a little on the steering wheel after 115-120 km / h - I specially checked before buying rubber with laser balancing everything was clearly balanced on the stand, I thought there were problems with the suspension, however, after installing these new tires (pilot sport3) on the same discs - the vibrations in the cabin disappeared, the same laser balancing ! Not stiff as some might think sport, soft and very comfortable! In rainy weather behaves normally, braking is good.
- It seems to me that for 8 thousand km, a little less or about 1 mm in front, tread wear is a bit too much . in the rain - when it gets into a deep rut filled with water, at a speed of about 100 km / h and higher, it pops up dangerously on the highway, chatting a little, as if pulling it off, it becomes scary and unpleasant, you cling to the steering wheel, but in principle it is predictable, yes, and I think this is due to the wheels getting into a rainy deep rut - I think any other tires do not behave better under such difficult road conditions. Michelin Energy was no better in the rain and rainy ruts.
- Hydroplaning is completely absent, quiet and very tenacious. Resistant to hernias.
- Very quickly erased (for one or two seasons)
- - Virtually silent - they hold the road well, both in the rain and in the "dry" - good price (if you look, they are much cheaper than competitors)
- - Have not found
- Handling at speed, passing small and medium bumps
- NOISE!
- Softness, elasticity.
- Valkaya on turns.
- There are practically no issues in terms of controllability.
- Weak sidewall, like all the Michelins I've had. In a rut decently shakes, although, perhaps it does not depend so much on the rubber, but on its width.
- Excellent driving performance in any weather
- High rolling resistance
- Confidently holds the road in any weather, soft and silent. It does not fail even at negative temperatures (until the last he refused to change shoes for winter tires at the end of last year, having calmly waited out all the terrible queues).
- Here they write about self-tapping screws, etc. I don’t know, I tried all the famous brands, but in each I had a few self-tapping screws, no one will insure you from this.
- moderately tough, high-speed, good handling is immediately noticeable, beautiful sidewall, quiet, rustle is barely noticeable, joints and bumps are quiet, they ride well in mud
- I don't think it's a pretty asymmetrical pattern.
