2nd PSA people carrier we own from new equipped with these tyres. 90% usage in town and 2 trips to Continental Europe (ski + summer). 15,000 miles annual mileage but Primacy are the longest lasting (25,000 miles)we had on. P6 and Continental were gone by 17-20k miles. Important things to remember for all C8, Ulysse, 807 is that the H rated tyres are more expensive than the Z rated ones by around ?15. Good to know as the price is at the top of the grid... Very good and very reliable/safe tyres with 4 kids onboard !

These tyres are the original fitted and are still legal at 40,000 miles. They run quietly. I have never had tyres last so long. I shall certainly replace with the same.
Wet or dry they have given me confidence and the feel of safety that the car will stop in almost any road condition.From brand new right down to the last 2mm they have been consitent.
The price do let them down however These tyres have performed faultlessly.when you consider i have driven 25,000 mies on one set of tyres why would i compromise on safety for the sake of saving ?15 per tyre
the sides of the front tires was off after 2000miles of very sport driving.. about 6/10 value for money. they are NOT for cornering and best grip in wet than dry :s long life tires for normal driving, but if you push it on the corners you wont keep them for long..
These tyres were used on my Astra Diesal and being a sales rep. I do between 50-60k miles a year so go through tyres on a regular basis. These Michellins grip exceptionally well wet or dry and are a very comfortable tyre as soon as they were put on I felt the difference. And they really do last I regulary hit 90 mph+ on motorways and country lanes and they grip well, and i got 50k out of the last set which is excellent. They are expensive though which is the only downside.
My 320D Tourer was fitted with Hankook Icebergs and it tramlined no better than a rollerskate. Having conducted a major review of tyres online and seeking advice from my 'Indy'decided on the Michelins. The tramlining disappeared completely together with a surefootedness I had not previously experienced. A great tyre and after 17K miles still have tread that should take me to 20K plus. My only gripe is that they do not cushion bumps as much as I would like but that is probably a personal issue.
I have had 2 sets of these tyres on the car, only the price has stopped me having them on the car at present. In the dry they were very good and also in the wet I also felt safe in bad water conditions they never gave up on grip.
They are as said by others here a bit loud and hard on the road, I read in the autoexpress 2006 I think tyre test they came in last, I found this hard to believe I drive my car quite hard and these tyres always kept me glued to the road. I dont like the new HP version not enough grooves for me. I would have these again but for the price, even though I only got just over 12k out of them.
Good Points: Excellent wear and progressive at limit.
Bad Points: Noise! At first thought I had a wheel bearing going, such is the drone. They squreach and let go with out too much effort. Expensive and stuck with them for the mean time...
I inherited a set of these on the front of the car I bought, had about 4-5mm left on them.
Pros: A hard wearing tyre, well balanced wet and dry grip right down to under 3mm of tread. I found them particularly good under wet braking, saved my bacon in 2 instances hard braking in the wet on a dual carriageway.
Cons: Very noisy tyre - so much so that despite their relatively good performances, I couldn't wait to get rid of them. The cost is also very high.
