Product description & features

The Michelin Primacy 3 is a high performance tyre designed to enhance fuel efficiency and deliver better braking.

The tyre feature a new generation tread compound and is constructed with a symmetric tread pattern.

The Primacy 3 is designed with a central rib and large shoulder blocks - this combination helps to ensure drivers enjoy responsive handling and a stable performance from the tyre, even at high speeds.

Inside the carcass of the Primacy 3, Michelin have used twin steel belts to better reinforce the integrity of the tyre - aiding in a balanced ride quality and  long life performance.

High Longevity

Excellent handling on corners, especially so in the wet. These tyres also don't seem to be wearing anywhere near as much as the previous tyres.

Very pleased with all round tyre performance so far. Unable to comment on wear down but expecting it to be a little greater than previous tyres because of tyre compound that allows these tyres to be particularly quiet on my car.

Ok so far, they have an A rating for wet road braking conditions which is what I required & give a smooth quiet ride in normal conditions.

Great. Service was terrible though. Couldn’t meet the time slot allocated and I discovered a new dent in the car the day after in the sill above the drivers door. It wasn’t there when I left it.

Happy with tyres and the garage who fitted them were also excellent. Too early to say how fuel economy and tread wear compares to previous tyres.
