Comes as the default tyres set from the authorized car dealer. Been testing out various driving styles on straight roads, corners, slopes, off track, in both dry and wet. Good performance, reasonable comfort, but slightly low mileage on wear particular on sides. Maybe it is due to the regular cornerings in Multi-Storey Car Parks.

This has to be the worse wear rate to the tires I've driven.. worn pretty bad after 35,000km.

A fantastic well balanced all round tyre, they covered 25000 miles on the front of my Audi A4 without letting me down. The only issue is the cost at £110 a corner they were sadly over my budget when I came to renew.

Not a bad tyre but only lasted 20k on a Citroen C4 with normal driving. Quite a noisy tyre, and only okay in the wet, get a bit of wheel spin pulling away on a bank in the wet.

Tyres are okay, terrible in poor winter conditions, I've learnt to fit winter tyres for a Yorkshire winter.
Far longer wear than Primacy 3 which just wear out to quickly as I do 40,000 a year. A Primacy 3 on the rear only lasted about 15,000 miles as opposed to about 30,000 for Primacy HP.
Finding it more and more difficult to locate HP tyres but my local Citroen dealer still manages to do do.
If I can't get HP longer term I will try some other tyres, I can't be replacing tyres every 15,000 miles on my relatively low performance Citroen Berlingo. I will state I'm no boy racer sat in a car having done 120,000 in three years, only replaced front brake pads at 78,000 miles. All discs and rear pads original so very gentle use. A boy racer would be through Primacy 3 in no time.

Opel insignia
(225/55 R17 V)

My car came out with these tyres from the factory.
At first they were very comfortable, had excellent grip on dry road, higher than average wet grip and no noise.
Now they're at 35.000 KM (21.750 miles) and not very comfortable, had excellent grip on dry road, lower than average wet grip (it slips pretty easily, not trustworthy) and no noise still. If you evaluate the tyre wear rate by its looks than it's low, if not, it is disappointing.
My car performs well in pot holes with these tyres on however i can not say the same considering bumpy and hubbly road especially within 0-40 km speed.
I do not plan to buy these again. Anyways, michelin has already lunched primacy 3.

Very good tire at all conditions.
You can rely on wet, dry and cornering.
Also very quiet and lasts long.
Comes factory fitted.
Only problem is very high price. :)
I bought cheaper and same quality another brand option.

Subaru wrx turbo

Had these fitted to my wife's Subaru Legacy Tourer just about 5 years ago, done about 20k on them with plenty of tread. No advisories on last MOT in April but, have recently noticed all 4 tyres are perishing on walls. Had inspected by respected local tyre specialists who fitted, said "don't do any fast motorway driving on them"!! And, we see this quite a lot! I've had this issue with Michelins before with, premature walls ageing but with plenty of tread. Won't touch Michelins ever again. I'm going for Nokian zLine.

I got these tyres when I bought the car, used. At first, I must admit, that I was quite sceptic. The thread and profile of the tyre looked thin, with not enough profile. The first braking on the wet was terrifying but after a week or so I checked the tyres with my tyre-dealer and we also checked the pressure and was too low. He explained, that these are very good tyres, made in 2014 and that they should do good, he even said, that these are one of the best tyres. After the pressure was set to the right one, the drive was just perfect. Excellent grip in dry and wet, also quite nice to the fuel consumption as well. Maybe a bit on the loud side, but nothing extra. Did almost 10000 miles with them over the summer and when I changed them with winter tyres, tyres dealership told me that I have nothing to worry for next season, as they look really good, with enough profile.
They are quite pricey but if the finances will allow it I will surely buy another set of these tyres.
