Primacy 5 TYRE REVIEW

Excellent tyres, they are low noise with superb grip in in wet.

Seem to be fine. Good grip

Tyres feel good on the road with good grip in the wet and they are not too noisy.

good performance so far in very wet and dry conditions. have not yet had snow/ice roads to establish perfromance on

I bought these tyres because I've had Michelin's before and they were one of the best. These new ones do not disappoint. The tyres seem very comfortable and it feels like there is less rolling resistance than my previous brand, so fuel economy seems slightly improved. Braking is very good in all conditions, but then you would expect that from new tyres. Will be interesting to see if they still perform once they start wearing. Cornering, steering response, and noise are all good, and I'm very impressed with these tyres. They are one of the best I've had over the years. My only criticism is that they feel a little bouncy compared to my previous brand. I went for the extra load version, so they have thicker walls. (I'm glad I did, because the normal ones are probably even more bouncy). I did think this would be a problem when cornering, but they still perform very well in corners and the grip is excellent. Overall I'm very impressed with these tyres and I would definitely buy them again. However, I think next time I'll buy two Bridestones just for comparison. I've had Bridgestones before and I highly rate them also, but as I now have a different car with wider/lower profile tyres, I'd like to compare them again. The Bridgestones are also cheaper which would be a factor. However, if the Michelin's last longer, then the cost may average out or may even be better value for money. Other tyres I've been impressed with in the past : Continental Premium Contact 5 : Excellent tyre with fantastic braking capabilities. These would have been my top recommendation but they are very soft and didn't last as long as I'd hoped. Dunlop Blue Response : Great all round performance tyre and good value for money. Nothing fancy but gets the job done.

The new tyres are great as expected. Michelins are not the cheapest but I think in many cases they are the best and I would rather pay more for safety reasons than put a cheap Chinese tyre on...

Seems to be wearing well gives great grip in the wet. Noise level is good

Very good, smooth and quiet

The tyres offer the performance I have always experienced with Michelin tyres.Overalk I think they offer a great balance in terms of mileage ,performance etc.

I was impressed with the way the tyres felt, but unfortunately the 2 front tyres were punctured in separate incidents within a month, but no fault of the tyres.
