Best tyres, yet expensive

published

Great mileage, very quiet, and very reliable tyres for BMW X3. They are expensive (probably most expensive on the market), yet I believe they are a value for money. You can get them discounted sometimes online or at other service providers.

Purchased in December 2021.

Very Poor Fuel Consumption

published

Bought them from Bob Jane and drove for two weeks. Was getting 700KM per tank with Yokohama's but only manages 600KM now with these set of tyres. Bob Jane have pumped rear tyres to 39psi and front ones to 36psi but no difference. Don't buy these tyres, they will cost you weekly.

Purchased in September 2021 at Bob Jane T-Marts for $970.00.

Squirmy and the wear rating is a farce

published

Follow up after 20 months:
These tyres have now done 28,000km on my Pajero and are within 1 to 2mm of the wear indicators. Effectively by the time they are no longer legal they will have given only about 60% of the distance of the Bridgeston Duellers they replaced (which had done 53,000km).

Yet they supposedly have a much better wear rating than the Bridgestones.

Not happy!

The squirmy feeling is still there, way too much feedback of even the smallest inconsistency in the road surface and they seem to magnify the small amount of slack in the steering box.

Purchased in February 2021 for $285.00.

Perfect tyre for CX5 SUV

published

Changing 4 tyres on Mazda CX5 from original Yokohama done 50,000km to Primacy SUV. I was surprised with its quiet and feel soft on road. Road handling is good bothe dry and wet. It was special discount from Costco purchase 4 tyres get $100.00 discount, fitted and balance included. Happy with Costco service and price, a bargain @ $150.00 each. Highly recommended.

Purchased in March 2021 for $600.00.

Done more than 2000km now. Driving suburban and highway in all conditions. The tyre still quiet and soft riding. So far so good


perfect tires for small SUV

published

first thought about the tires, they really are quiet.

i mainly short commute on highway with good road condition and it feels comfortable compare to my old tires.

i live in tropical country (Indonesia) so only dry and wet condition apply. so far no problem and better performance.

i also notice handling improvement to more confident driving experiences on corners.

about durability, i expect it to last 20.000kms

i recommended this tires

All good so far on ride quality, noise and wear

published

Very happy so far. Far better than the OEM Kumhos which have a good treadwear but were far too hard, noisy and plain dangerous in the wet. Only time will tell re treadwear but with a rating of 440 I'd expect to get roughly 50k+ which is more than enough for me.

Not durable

published

I put the Michelin Primacy SUVs on to replace the original dunlops that came with the car new. I got 90000 kms out of the Dunlops by driving carefully. I do a lot of highway driving, often loaded up and with a trailer. The rear michelins lasted 10000 kms before they were down past the wear marks. To the credit of the shop I got them at they replaced them with pirellis. The michelins drove really nicely around town and were exceptional in the wet. As promised they were very quiet. Not that I cared with a diesel! They are far too soft for a 4WD towing at highway speeds.

Great tyres for the price

published

My old tyres were starting to wear, and I was recommended these ones through a friend. They are great, and I could feel the difference as soon as I have Bob Jane. The overall drive felt smoother, and the braking was noticeably better as well. I would definitely choose this again for my next tyre!

Bought 4 and got $200 rebate

published

I bought 4 of them during promotion (buy 4 and get $200 rebate) from T-mart. I've used them for 3 months now and have no complaint. My previous Micheline (not sure about the model) lasted for just little over 3 years (3,5000 km) but hope this time it'll last longer.

The best Tires.

published

I'v been using Michelin for the past 6 years. have done average 80K for the last 2 times with Michelin on a Honda Accord.
Bought a new set of tires for a Toyota Kluger. It's really amazing!!! You cannot hear the tire at all while driving. I have also tried it in wet conditions, grip, break, everything is perfect. No sliding, No sound, instant stop.
I love these tires..!

Not perfect

published

Got a new set of Michelin tyres for my Mazda Cx5, compare to stock tyres which is Yokohama’s Geolandar (238$ each), The Michelin primacy (241$each) does not have enough traction through sharp corners. I drive offensively, I never slow down for corners with the stock tyres, but I have to slow down with Michelin tyres due to LOST TRACTION for a few times, scared the hell out of me. I won’t say Michelin is bad, but I would say not as good as the stock tyres……
Same driver, same road, same car, same Tyre size, same driving style, same weather conditions.… srsly, Michelin loses in every single turn that I made with my cx5.
Gonna try Bridgestone next time, won’t come back for Michelin

Hi, check your required load rating first, then cross-check against the Primacy numbers.

HI all, has anyone noticed a huge increase in fuel economy since having Michelin Primacy suv? Mine has gone up by heaps in a 2015 Kluger 9l/100 to 14l/100. last tyers were Michelin Latitude Tour and i could get fuel economy down to 7.5l/100 sometimes

1 answer
FishoBen
FishoBen

Hi, no difference on my end. Loaded on trips out west I can easily get 8.5L/100 sticking to the speed limit and running around 38psi. I achieved this figure with Michelin Latitude, Yokohama Geolander 055 and the current Michelin Primacy 3 SUV. Around town 11.5L all day. On another note, see if there are any software updates from Toyota as I took mine in to have the reverse camera looked over due to a viewing delay on the screen. They told me it was a 'software' update and the camera worked better for about a week but the car was greatly improved, better responsiveness, better gear changes.
