Michelin Primacy 3 ST

Best I’ve bought! – These tyres are impressively quiet, offering a smooth and comfortable ride with minimal road noise. Its grip is really good on both wet and dry surfaces, providing a sense of stability, even when cornering hard. While I’ve only had these tires for three months and can't yet comment on long term durability, I expect them to hold up well based on… Read more

Michelin’s reputation. Before purchasing, I did extensive research and found this model highly recommended by other drivers. So far, it has lived up to the praise, and I believe it will prove to be a worthwhile investment in the long run. Definitely worth the money!

Michelin Premacy 3ST – I changed from the original Yokohama Geolander G91F [they are good tyre in themseves] as nominated for the Subaru Forester. However, I experienced 2 separate tyre failures over a period of 6 months due their 'collecting' a foreign body right on the corner between tread and side wall and unable to be legally repaired. While this could happen to any… Read more

tyre, these Geolander G91F are somewhat difficult to obtain when travelling away from the major source of supply. Hence, after researching a variety of manufacturer/ tyre models, I selected the Michelin Premacy 3ST as the preferred replacement. They have subsequently been a great source of confidence and appreciation while driving across a variety of road/ track and weather conditions for the past 12 months. I do however ensure that wheel alignments are carried out by recognized specialist/ professionals in their field. The only possible issue is some 'doubt' regarding their wear life which is yet to confirmed or not? I note now that these Premacy 3ST are presumably to be replaced by the Premacy 4?

First Week Review – Got a new set of Michelin Primary 3 ST for my 2010 Mazda 3 SP 2.5 HATCH a week ago at JAXS in Geelong to replace a set of Continentals (72000ks ) which were worn out Great service and they changed them over in an hour and a good price!!!! You pay for what you get!!!! First impressions of the tyres are excellent !!!!! 2010 Mazda are known to… Read more

very noisy due to lack of sound insulation and bought them on the basis of their ability to reduce the road noise I did lots of reviews and lots of comparisons before selecting them

These tyres are noticably quieter on all road surfaces and at all speeds and around town cannot here much more than a hum 60 to 80 KPH.

Drove them out on the local freeway and the road surface is awful and rather than a loud roar at 100 ks it is now a rumble and whilst it hasnt got ride of all of the noise (i did not expect that it would) i can now have a conversation with a passenger rather than having to shout.

At this stage would suggest potential users to check them out.

Love them – I'm a limo driver, and drive a Holden Caprice. I have been using cheap (and probably low quality) tyres for quite a while, but have recently switched to these Michelins. I know it probably doesn't mean much to compare the Michelins to the cheapies, but for what it's worth, I definitely notice quite a reduction in noise and improvement in wet… Read more

weather grip. (I never really push the car hard enough to test dry grip). There is also a small improvement in comfort. The Caprice is already a smooth and quiet car, but the 3ST have taken it to the next level - I am very happy with these tyres and will be staying with them.

Regarding wear, this also seems very good - the rears have done 45000km and the depth of the two outer main grooves measures 5mm, so I think I'll get 70 - 80,000km, which I would be very impressed with. I have only just put the 3STs on the front. (and this is why I have waited until now to do the review, with all four wheels now shod with the 3STs).

Big thumbs up and I wish I had discovered these tyres a long time ago.

UPDATE 22-Sep-2018 Wear is excellent - the rears have done 100,000km now and are still going. I expect to replace them at 110,000. (note that they've only been on the rear, so it is possible that with rotation they might wear a bit faster).

Had good experience All Round Tyres – Noise had reduced once I installed these tyres Not cheap but I guess you would say these tyres are very smooth and overall good value.

Best tyres I've ever had – These are great all round tyres. I have a Mazda 6 and these tyres have covered just over 80,000km and are still well and truly legal. I am a reasonably conservative driver but I always drive to the speed limit and do 40% urban and 60% rural driving. These tyres were so much quieter than the original factory tyres which were stuffed at 58,000 kms.… Read more

As the Michelins approach the end of their life they are becoming noisier but they still hold the road like new in all conditions. They have worn evenly across the four tyres and have probably contributed to the fuel economy on long trips with the car consistently averaging 6.4 - 6.5L/100 km.

No complaints – These tyres are coming to the end of their life after just over 50 000km. They have provided faultless grip both wet and dry all the way to the end. They are quiet, provide good handling and comfort. No complaints. Will be replacing them with Primacy 4. Mixed road conditions. Show details

Great Tyre, Smooth Ride, But Weird Crack Like Wear Sign Around the Side Wall Corner – When writing this review, my car has been using all 4 tyres of Michelin Primacy 3 for over 1 year and 1 month. So far, I enjoy the smooth and quite enough ride from the tyres. They also show a good sign of durability, with the exception of the weird crack/dent looking wear sign all around the corner of their side walls. Show details

Michelin Primacy 3 ST – I feel that these tyres are a hard compound, with a soft sidewall. There is low speed bumpiness and noise, yet on the highway, there was a softness and floatiness. By comparison, the Pirelli Cinturato P7's seemed to have both a soft compound and a soft flexible side wall. Long term, I suspect that the harder compound Primacy 3 ST may have slightly… Read more

better fuel consumption, and longer treadlife. It is all a compromise. However, for a luxury car, and considering that the Primacy is a premium touring tyre, I would have thought Michelin should have used both soft compound, and flexible sidewalls combined like the competing Pirelli Cinturato P7's.

IT WAS A BRILLIANT TYRE – The set of Michelin Primacy 3ST were the original fitment on our brand new Honda accord in 2013...Extremely quiet and refined , sure footed in the worst of the wet weather conditions , and fairly good in the dry (remember , it is not a sport tyre..). I am meticulous when it comes to checking the tyres air pressure ( keeping them on 36psi ) and… Read more

was rotating them front to back every 20.000km.... They returned us the favour by lasting over 80.000km , mostly in city driving...They are still not down to the wear out marks, there is still about 10.000km of life left in them , but they are almost 8 years old and it is time for the next set...We will probably go with Michelin again ( Primacy 4 or 4ST) , but mind you, the Continental Conty Sport Contact tyres that are fitted to our other cars are building a strong case as well...Tough choice. And yes , our lives are worth more then a cheap tyres...

Ideal to reduce road noise in a Mazda 3 – Mazda 3s are notorious for excessive road noise. The fitment of Michelin Primacy 3STs to our 2006 Mazda 3 reduced the road noise considerably on all road surfaces including coarse chip bitumen. As the tyres have worn (now about 40,000kms) the tyre noise has increased but is less tyre noise than the previous tyres fitted. Grip on all road… Read more

surfaces and conditions is excellent. As the tyres have worn the grip levels remain unchanged.

After being fitted for 40,000 kms the tyres are now about to 2/3s worn. So can expect about 70,000 - 80,000 kms of life from these tyres.

These are excellent tyres and ideal for reducing road noise in a Mazda 3.

satisfied and excellent service – Great Tyres! Smooth and quiet drive. I was skeptical at first but I was impressed, very comfortable ride. Never had any issues, will be buying them again. Very satisfied and excellent service.

very smooth ride – They were Tyres bought for my Camry Altise, Excellent handling in all weather conditions and smooth ride.Lasts long as tyres are rotated and wheels are balanced once in 10,000 Km. Show details

Great tyres – These are the tyres that came on my car when I bought it brand new in 2014. I’ve since had to get all 4 replaced at 60000km. For the price what you pay for then I think that’s it’s great mileage out of them considering other brands that are cheaper and do less km’s  Show details

good grip and mileage/kilometer age (if that's a word ) – but a bit expensive. !st set came fitted to my new car and lasted 65,000 ks. My car is small and light driven mainly in the country so this is not bad going. Little bit of dirt or unmade road at times and no puncher problems. Quiet and well performing in the wet and dry. As everyone says you get what you pay for in rubber and road. Now… Read more ·  1

the bad news, redundant model, replaced by 4, so even if you want them you can't, and your not getting mine

Excellent grip, quiet, no issues – A few years ago, I changed the annoying run flat tyres on my bmw125i to primacy sport 3 tyres (the 3 are the higher spec tyre). They were the best tyre I have ever owned, they have excellent traction in both dry and wet conditions, they were quiet and unlike some tyres I have owned in the past, there was nothing strange about them (they had normal wear levels, did not compromise the handling of the car, etc). I highly recommend the Primacy 3s.  Show details

Safety assured. With Michelin Tyres – Ever since I changed to Michelin Tyres for my vehicles, the lasting qualities of these tyres has really amazed me! The last set lasted over. 85 thousand kilometres ! The grip in provided wet weather.conditions proved second to none! I would recommend these tyres to anyone ! Thank You for the chance to share my experience  Show details

Very good quality – very very good quality and lasted longer than the other brands. Also did not experience quite a lot of punctures. I used nitrogen and it worked fine. I purchased it almost two years ago and it lived for about 30k kms and was doing a very good job indeed. Would highly recommend, but a bit expensive.  Show details

Great tyres handsdown – As soon as I put these on my car I was impressed....smooth... dead quiet. And I was told they will get heaps of wear.time will tell.If your looking for a great set of tyres you would be mad to not put these on your vehicle.Handling is also excellent.The old tyres were terrible compared to the MICHELIN"S  Show details

higher cost performance ,Michelin Primacy 3 ST – I have been using this Michelin tire for three years.This time gives me a high sense of security.On dry ground there is a super-high grip performance. In the same price comparison, it can still get a higher score.In wetland performance, it is in line with its price positioning.At the same time it retains the quiet qualities of Michelin tyres in… Read more

terms of noise.Relative balance of durability.All in all is a very excellent, cost-effective products.

My opinion no kick backs – I went to O'Neills at Cessnock and asked him to fit the best tyres to suit my S430 Merc. He said he wouldn't go past the Mich Prim 3 st. He knows I use the car for Hunter to Sydney all weather and said "you will fall in love with them". Cant wait for them to wear out to get another set. Could be a very long wait. I "DRIVE my car, it's not a toy and the tyres have made it so safe it's no funny".  Show details

Will not go wrong with a Michelin – Very Quiet, great grip wet or dry, feels secure on the road cornering hard. Only had for three months so I can't comment on the wear and tear, but I expect great results. I did shop around and was counting on others reviews first, this brand came in as very highly recommended, worth the money, in the long run, I'm sure.  Show details

Great Tyres in all weather – Bought these tyres after reading about all the great reviews online, I was quite skeptical about its performance and traction at first but once I drove it while it was raining, you can feel so much difference and much more confidence in taking corners safely. My previous tyres were continental contisport contacts and Michelin are the winners here for me.  Show details

Reliable tyre – Smooth firm road holding especially on corners feel very safe on these tyres however only get around 30000 km . Never had any problems nice and quiet.would recommend these as I drive over large range of road serfices smooth , dirt ,coarse with pot holes typical of Adelaide hills roads.  Show details

Excellent in the first few days – Extremely quiet and comfortable ride, very impressed. Do not know what the longevity of the tyres are yet, will update this review if required. These Green X tyres are eco-friendly too. Bought 4 of them as the online reviews were positive and were available at a very reasonable price with $100 off.  Show details

Great set of tyres – We bought the car with these which lasted us a few years and loads of kilomitors so we decided to copy the car dealership and bought the same tyres again. The tread is really good on them and lasts a long long time and outlasted any tyres I've had before which was a huge shock  Show details

Standard Tyre – Upon purchasing this tyre due to the tread appearing to look like it can grip well I later noticed that it does work enough to be useful for the environmnts i usually drive in, however the tread appears to wear down quickly where i have purchased other tyres that have lasted longer than this.  Show details

Excellent tyres – VERY quiet tyres. So far they feel extremely good to drive with. Do not know what the longevity of the tyres are yet. But so far I am very impressed by the handling of the tyres and the way they grip to the road. Will be buying them again from the same place.  Show details

Michelin Primacy a great tyre – Tyres are great, handle well in the wet and the dry, have a smooth quiet drive, unlike some of the tyres. Have had them on the current car for around 4 months and I will definately choose to buys these again, can't comment on their longevity yet but it may be the compromise for better handling.  Show details
