These are the stock tyres for this MG and they are very grippy in the wet and dry aswell as quiet efficient on the hiway. Our roads are course chip so and the inside of the car sits below 70db usually, they are really good at holding a set pressure and have never had a puncture. Decent grip on dirt road for a hiway tread design.

Great tyres. Over the years, I’ve tried Toyo’s and Continentals on my Mazda 3, all around the one fifty price point. The Michelin Primacy were well and truely the most confidence inspiring and reliable Tyre of the lot.

An interesting tyre...very soft sidewalls, and handling not their forte. Yet good in the wet, comfortable on the highway, and they got better with age. Biggest surprise, we did 20km on a rough, gravel country road recently.  They didn't miss a beat (while our friend shredded a tyre on their 4WD).

Had P zeros in the past, the Primacy3  is much quieter and rides more comfortable. The tyre got less traction than the P Zero but is more than sufficient for anything other than track driving.  After 20ks of aggressive driving, there are still around 6mm of tread left. A much longer lifespan could be expected than the 30ks from P0.

This is the third set of Michelin Primary 3STs. The original set, made in France, lasted 80,000 kms. The next set, made in Thailand, lasted 40,000 kms due to at least one ruptured casing (from gravel roads).  This last set, also made in Thailand, have bad rumble after just 30,000 kms, due to damaged casings, even though we have driven on very few dirt roads. Conclusion: Michelin quality is poor due to substandard manufacture. Accountants and marketers happy, engineers and customers not.

So much quieter than the continentals that they replaced. Again we don't push our cars to the limits but I would say they have great grip dry and wet.

okay so these tyres are on my mates car that he has had for a while and we also just so happen to do runs up mt gravatt in this car as well. these tyres compared to Yokohama Advan A460 are far superior. maybe its the side wall height but overall these tyres are quieter, grippier and just all around pretty good. They dont seen to be showing the signs of wear that the advans are after just as many runs up mt gravatt. so there you have it take it or leave it michelin company as a whole makes better tires than Yokohama
