Review on MICHELIN Primacy 4 215/55 R17 94V summer by Velizar Stoyanov ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not advised to buy this, does not meet the advertised standard.

Once more confronted with the obscene Michelin service and production quality. There was a one-day travel from St. Petersburg to V. Novgorod and back to St. Petersburg in the fall of 2022 (about 360 kilometres). I noticed a minor tug of the automobile to the side around halfway back, which grew stronger with time. An exterior investigation of the track failed to identify the problem. Already in the city, I went to a petrol station to check the pressure and discovered that one tire was actually only somewhat flat. Put the automobile in for the night while pumped up. The tire had already sat down significantly in the morning. No damage was discovered. A tire examination I had at the dealer (a Michelin representative) had shown an air leak through the sidewall. However, there was no evidence of injury. They offered to apply a patch, but I vehemently declined. Because I don't want to risk the tire's potential destruction by operating a tire with a fractured sidewall, I deem its use risky. especially if the tire's structural integrity has somehow been compromised. I put off finding a solution, especially since it was already time to switch out your shoes for the winter. I returned the tire for a complaint in February 2022. An explanation for a denial of compensation includes the following statement: "The nature of the detected defect and its location on the side wall indicate the occurrence of a defect not as a result of the movement of the vehicle, but as a result of the impact of third parties when the vehicle is parked." How do they come up with such responses, I wonder? Imagine for a moment that someone actually made the decision to bother me by causing a tire puncture. However, how can you pierce reinforced multilayer rubber without being able to locate the damaged area? needle for sewing? Laser? How did it happen that I continued to drive more than 250 kilometers before she finally started to lower? The results are unsatisfactory: 1. The manufacture quality is so bad that the tires start to degrade while they are still in use. 2. The service is there for display only. The quality control act's inflatable Mr. Michelin directs you to the door. I've included a picture of the check, the deed, and the car's tire.

Pros
  • Sadly, their flaws have marked them as eliminated.
Cons
  • Poor service, expense, safety, and workmanship.
