Michelin Primacy HP Reviews - Page 9

Given 39% while driving a Honda Accord (225/45 R18) on mostly motorways for 0 easy going miles
I purchased my Honda Accord Euro to enjoy the driving experience, the car has only done 20,000 kilometers, half of which was Highway use. The Michelin Primacy HP tyres on the Honda have been noisy (screaming) for the last 10,000 kilometers. Honda said I will need to purchase new tyres or get over it...

Given 49% while driving a Citroën C5 (225/55 R17 W) on mostly town for 36,000 average miles
These were OEM on the C5. Fronts were worn out in 14,000 miles and rears in 36,000 miles. Have absolutely no grip on snow! Replaced them with the much cheaper and hugely better Kumho equivalent (Ecsta SPT KU31). The Kumhos are quieter, softer, grippier and longer lasting. Michelin tyres are overpriced and overrated. I would never ever buy Michelin again.

They are very good summer tyres. Quiet and with good grip. Crap in winter conditions.

Given 34% while driving a Subaru Forester S Turbo (215/60 R16) on mostly country roads for 80,000 easy going miles
I had these fitted to my Subaru forester after 2 sets of Yokohama tyres which were excellent, lasted 30 to 40k miles. The michelin tyres are very poor, loads of road noise, follow ripples in the road and in my opinion do not suit the vehicle at all. I used to enjoy driving my car but not with these fitted. I have had the suspension, transmission, bearings etc checked and the garage informed me it was the tyres. The sooner they wear out the better.

Given 77% while driving a Audi (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 23,000 spirited miles
Really nice tyres for luxury, soft driving, yet in my case not a must. While these tyres are great they luck when pushed to the limits. Lasted very well.

Given 81% while driving a Honda Accord (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 20,000 spirited miles
Excellent all round tyres. A definite improvement over the original Primacy model. Good dry grip/handling. Low road noise and very responsive at high speed (+180 Kph motorway cruising)
Recommended.

Given 61% while driving a Citroën C4 Grand Picasso (215/55 R16 V) on mostly town for 24 easy going miles
I have always had Michelin tyres on my Citroen cars - my tyres on my Xsara Picassos lasted 40,000 miles. The tyres on my new Grand C4 Picasso have only lasted 24,000 miles which is a great disappontment as I am a steady driver , not prone to rapid acceleration/braking. I will switch to another brand as I am sure that most brands will last longer.
