Review on Tire Michelin Primacy 3 215/55 R18 99V by Wiktor Fokt ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I will never repeat this purchase.

I hardly never post reviews, but things have reached a boiling point right now. Due to my extreme dissatisfaction with this rubber, I didn't even bother to ride for the next two weeks. The noise that comes from the roads that have coarse-grained asphalt, which makes up the bulk of the roads in the 2022, is extremely grating on the ear. May arrived, the temperature in the air rose to +22 degrees, and I made the decision to go to the track to ride so that I could test out the much-touted features. Despite the fact that the car itself (in terms of handling) is very decent (Mazda 3), handling is generally lost, giving the impression that you are piloting a ship in a storm. A week later, I crashed into a little hole and punctured the wheel all the way through to the disc. Additionally, the disk and the rubber are discarded, which has never occurred in the past. I would like to point out that there is something that can serve as a comparison. For the past four years, our previous Continental Contipremiumcontact 5 wheels had performed faultlessly without incurring a single flat tire or hernia. It was discovered that in addition to this, they produce less noise than the renowned Michelin brand. After reading the reviews, I was under the impression that Primacy would be even less audible. Complete letdown. There is also the possibility that the fact that the rubber was manufactured in the year 2022 is to blame, at least in part.

Pros
  • pretty quiet on dry smooth pavement
Cons
  • horrible to work with, intolerably loud on asphalt, and surprisingly abrasive for something made of such a soft rubber; created in 2022
