Michelin Primacy 3 ST for E200 Excellent?

[Gideon]

Wondering if anyone is using the Michelin Primacy 3 ST for E200 merc? Priority is quietness, follow by performance for wet and dry weather condition. 

Thanks.

 

Came across this link http://www.philstar.com/motoring/2013/07/10/963490/tire-its-optimal-prime-testing-michelin-primacy-3-st-khao-yai-thailand and looks pretty amazing.

Hey! That is exactly what I was going to at my next servicing.

I too value comfort and quietness above everything else.

 

I was thinking of 225/50R17 instead 245/45R17. You?

Same size at  245/45 R17 around S$345 per piece from BENG HENG TYRES BATTERIES PRIVATE LIMITED

$345 for a 17"??? That's really expensive. ......

[Gideon]

Care to share with us the best quotation for the same model and rating?

[Gideon]

Got another quote from Khai Wah Battery & Tyres at $321 per piece.

*Gasp at $340*

I think the 225/50 is about $270 (I reall need to double check $ though). I don't need that kind of grip so 225 is fine I supposed.

 

Less rolling fricion, better FC and less noise.

I would rather buy Michelin PILOT SUPER SPORT at lower price than this!

345 is crazy..

Conti CSC5 also very good in wet and dry at around $285 each for 245/45/17.

Yeah the price is crazy should shop around.

 

Different goals mah. Premacy is comfort and quietness all the way, zero sportiness.

In a Merc, most tyres will be quiet. For me grip performance is the most important (isn't that why u spend more than 250 per tyre).

 

Anyway, try Pitstop.. quite reasonable price and they will be more than willing to guide you to find your right set of tyres..

i beg to differ about the mentioned shop, feel that they only promote what they have in stock. (at least in my case)

i have survey some of the tire, and i found that Pirelli CInturato P7 is great and it only cost S250.00 each and tire make in Europe for the size 245/45/R17 99w

Apology to revive this, my car comes with the Cinturato P7. The two back wheels have only 20% thread left, while the 2 front ones are still about 80%. By right I should change the 2 back wheels soon, but am thinking of changing all of them as  the wheels are all made in early 2010. Saw comment that wheels best not to exceed 5 years.

 

Question:

1. How are Cinturato P7 compared to Primacy 3 ST? Anyone use both before?

 

If I change to P7, I can change 2 at a time and spread the cost. But if I change to P3ST, I think I'll have to change 4 together.

[CarCrazy]

Hi,

 

I have not used P7 in recent times but friend whom had used it says nothing good about it. As Primacy 3 ST, it is a new model but the brand itself wins ( if the price is not too far).

 

You can always change out 2pcs of the worst P7 and changed to Primacy 3ST. I wouldn't be bothered by different pattern or brand of types. It is only psychological.

[retiefgoosen]

I just changed out my worn out Dunlop Sport Maxx 18inch that comes with the car to Conti CSC5P

 

the differences is day and night.. now my car is much quieter.

I asked about primacy 3 but the tyres shop said conti have better grip

[CarCrazy]

CSC5 would be more comfortable and more than enough grip.
