Michelin e.Primacy Reviews - Page 2

Had them on for 4 years with a safe/relaxed driving style. Very happy as they are very quiet and comfortable. Handling just fine on dry road, I have read many comments on wet road that they do not perform at the highest level, but with my relaxed driving style I never encountered any problems or aquaplaning. Excellent fuel economy and excellent wear as usual from Michelin.

Very poor performance on wet surface. Dangerous even when you are driving at motorway speed and passing on this flyover bridge joint, these tyres will lose grip immediately and give you a shock.

I live on a hill. The only road out of my house goes downhill. On rainy days, I have to be extremely cautious on this road. At very low speeds, 10–20 km/h, if I lift my foot off the accelerator, I can feel the car sliding slightly downhill, and the regenerative braking in my Model 3 deactivates. This results in an unpleasant sensation of the car skidding downwards for a few centimeters/half a second.

The same thing happens on sharp turns and roundabouts when it's wet. Even without pressing much on the accelerator, the car slides (this can easily happen at just 10 or 20 km/h). In city traffic on wet streets, I take extra precautions and leave a greater distance from the car in front, because if I need to brake moderately (for example at 40 km/h), the car slides about half a meter further. These low-speed situations on wet surfaces are very frequent.

On highways or open roads at 100 or 120 km/h, I haven’t experienced these problems, but even so, I don’t feel confident when it rains.

None of these issues happen in dry conditions BTW. It’s a shame because the e.Primacy in other aspects is ok for normal driving and even great (not too noisy, good comfort), but due to its serious issues on wet surfaces, I will replace them very soon, probably before they reach the end of its lifespan. It's a matter of safety.

First time I tried Michelin for my MB V250 and did the double of KM's. It did 46.000Km. I tried Continental, Hankook, Kumho, and this 3-Primacy where the best.

Simply dangerous on wet roads!! I

Comparing to the Bridgestone Ecopia tyres which were on the car when I bought it, the Michelin e.Primacy is quieter and gives a better ride. A slightly bigger positive effort on the steering wheel is needed to begin a turn, which I prefer. Stops very well wet or dry.
Haven't been hurling this car around on the doorhandles so not going to comment on handling.

This tires came default on the 2024 Tesla Model 3 and are excellent for everyday driving. It has good comfort, quietness, and low rolling resistance, perfect for electric vehicle efficiency. However, for those who enjoy a brisker pace in wet conditions, it falls short of the confidence-inspiring grip and aquaplaning resistance found in the PS5. With approximately 5mm of tread remaining after traveling 10,000km, it should not have issue lasting 30,000 to 40,000km.

My car came new with these tires. I had driven a 2020 ford Focus before this one, with Michelin Crossclimate 2 mounted and they where just overall much better. Recently my car is fitted with the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 and what a relief. The car is quieter, feels much more grippy, especially in the wet and brought back the "Ford Focus Feeling" to the car.

I would definitly not recommend these tires to anyone.

These were the OEM tyres on my Citroën C5X. If you approach it with the knowledge that it is not a Pilot Sport 4S, you will be completely convinced of its main qualities! (fuel saving, quiet rolling noise, good comfort, long lasting)

A good choice for every Plug-in Hybrid or EV car, definitely will fit them (or their replacement) again!

I replaced my Dunlop Sport Bluresponse, and since the first moment it is more than noticeable that the car starts moving much easier. They are very smooth on the road and when I push them will turning they just follow with confidence. They are also very quiet. I was going for the Primacy 4, but I do not regret at all.

So much quieter on the car compared to the previous set. Only did the fronts but the difference was dramatic. Will definitely use these these tyres when the rears are due for replacement. A real winner for me.

I just bought these and was amazed to find they only have 6.mm of tread depth as purchased. D.O.M wk14 2021 C.O.M. Spain I will be monitoring them closely and will be providing and updated review in the fullness of time. I am currently struggling to find a listing of tyre tread depths as purchased so I can make a more informed purchasing decision next time. I've never known a new tyre to have so little tread (depth) at the outset.
