The tyres are robust and have a good lifetime.
Excellent Tyres
Just had them fitted, so can't comment on long-term use, but straight away I can tell that these are even quieter than my previous Michelin Energy Savers. I was told by my dealership that these tyres are a level above the Energy Savers, hence why they are so expensive, and said I could get an equivalent of the Energy Savers from a brand like Continental. I opted for these at the extra cost thinking it would make my car even better if these tyres are even better. That turned out to be true! Very pleased with them.
Run flats for BMW Mini
I've had other run flat tyres on my Mins. But out them, these Michelin Primacy run flats are the only ones that don't tram line. They improve the driving experience by making the steering more predictable.
Great tyre
On the Mini John Cooper Works these tyres provide quiet, long lasting driving. Good all round grip only spoilt slightly by being so firm due to being Run Flats. Covered 30k miles with ease
Tyre wears very quickly.recommended PSI. I have the 19 inch tyres. Once these wear I am changing to another brand as its getting rediculous.
I'm on my 3 set of tyres in 4.5 years. The last set lasted only 9000 miles and the metal came through on the inside of the front and back drivers side. The other side was worn to 1mm of both tyres too. I had alignment checks two years running and checked the tyre pressures complied with Peugotes recommended PSI.
Very poor wear characteristics
I have a 2019 Honda HR-V with just 12,300 miles on the clock. I have just 3mm of tread left on both front tyres. This is simply unacceptable and the response from both Honda and Michelin has not offered any reason why wear should be so poor. I am looking to replace with Continentals after a period of swapping the tyres from the rear for a few thousand miles more.
Safe and secure with these premium Tyres
After much research I choose Michelin Primacy 3 for their exceptional performance and quite running. I was not disappointed - they are possibly the best tyres I have purchased
Short lifespan
Front tyres required changing on a Mini Cooper after only 17000 miles. Very disappointing as would expect greater longevity from a premium brand.
