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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe Ill buy it again.

It's been three months of use. I did not write a review right away, so that an established impression of the tires was formed. So. The choice of summer tires fell on the manufacturer Michelin, after purchasing winter tires Michelin X-ice 3, which really impressed with its comfort and performance. In all conditions, except for pure ice, only the most positive impressions remained. Subaru Outback was purchased with Kama Euro summer tires. It was impossible to ride it after the Michelin X-ice 3 on the previous Subaru for a single day. Bought put Michelin Primacy 3, expected a miracle the same as with Michelin X-ice 3. But it did not happen. In the spring, at t ° up to +10, rubber in terms of acoustic comfort and rigidity is not at all much better than Kama. The noise was such that I had to go to the service station to see if the bearings in my car were buzzing. On the lift it turned out that everything was in order. Therefore, I don’t know how this rubber seemed to someone quiet and soft. I went to Bridgestone and Dunlop with confidence I declare that Michelin Primacy 3 is much noisier and tougher. But. It warmed up to +25 and the tires rolled in and the noise decreased, but the rigidity remained the same. For a Subaru with a fairly stiff suspension, this is quite critical. Further. Again, compared to Bridgestone and Dunlop, driving on the same route (with a 180° turn) one feels the superiority of this tire over the previous ones. No extra sound and slippage when turning and sharp turns. The economy of this tire is also obvious. 12.8, and even less, l. / 100km. in the city with a 3-liter engine, I think it's not a bad result (before 14 l./100km). Wear resistance is also excellent. 4000 km., wear is not visible. Bottom line: Who is this tire for and can it be recommended for purchase? If you have a car with soft suspension such as Toyota, Lexus, Mersedes, etc. This tire is really good. If the suspension is stiff, think again. I recommend to buy.

Pros
  • - Profitability - Handling - Wear resistance
Cons
  • - Acoustic comfort - Rigidity
