    I recommend this tyre

    Hitting the Sweetspot!

    As the kilometres build up on a new set of Primacy 5s my satisfaction keeps in step. Having always had a ‘sports’ tyre with a less finicky tread pattern, these tyres appeared rather fussy and more in keeping with a less frisky car. At the outset, I was unsure that these Primacy 5s would come close to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s which they were supposed to replace. Since fitting the Primacy 5s, I have been delighted the improved fuel economy, reduced road noise and excellent handling and braking in all conditions. Adding further to my happiness with these tyres has been the cash back offer. The offer reduced each tyre by an additional €9 per tyre.

    Very sure footed, handling far improved over the old Pirelli P6000 tyres that they replaced.

    Molto silenziosi, ottima aderenza su strada asciutta e sul bagnato, frenata brusca senza slittamento su curve ad alta velocità danno la sesazione di soffrire ma non c'è nessuna perdita di controllo o aderenza. Vediamo se la durata chilometrica sarà sufficientemente lunga
