MICHELIN e.Primacy TYRE REVIEW

very adequately, with good roadholding and quiteness.

Absolutely fine in all weather conditions.

Exactly as I would expect them to. Good performance overall.

Much the same as before

Perform well in all conditions

The tyres performed well but I have recently changed to a newer model Golf eHybrid which sadly is fitted with Bridgestone tyres which do not perform as well as the Michelins.

Good all round grip and wear

Better handling and road holding

So far the E Primacy tyres have performed very well. In particular the ride quality is improved over the stock Bridgestone tyres fitted to the i3. I also seem to be seeing better efficiency too, my average miles per kWh have increased from 3.5 to 4.2, however the warmer weather will have also helped with that. I was slightly worried how the E Primacy would perform in the wet as previous experience of ultra low rolling resistance tyres (eco contact 6’s on another car) showed this to be a weak area of their performance. However the E Primacy has performed very well in the wet so far, certainly far better than the Continental’s did on my other car. Certainly seen very well suited to the i3 so provided they don’t wear too badly I’d certainly buy them again.
