rated 94%
I'm back again to supplement my review from December 5th in winter conditions. Today the first snow fell here in Bulgaria. I am delighted with the winter qualities of these tires. Heavy, wet snow and mud. The car literally stuck to the road. Very precise handling and stable and predictable behavior in icy, wet corners. Bravo Pirelli

Premium price, sub-standard quality. My experience with Pirelli SF3:
I am extremely disappointed with my purchase of the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 (235/50 R19 103 W XL). I installed them on a brand-new 2025 VW Tiguan, and the vibrations above 110 km/h make the car almost undriveable.
I’ve ruled out any vehicle issues by testing with my summer set (perfectly smooth), yet Pirelli rejected my warranty claim. I took the car for a Hunter Road Force Elite test, and the results are shocking: 125 N of Road Force on the tire (clearly marked in RED by the machine).
I had to replace one of the tires and pay for it. It did not help another Hunter test and other tires went off. I will have throu them away.
In the premium segment, a force of 125 N is a definitive manufacturing defect, not an 'acceptable variation.' It’s unacceptable that a customer has to pay for a professional diagnostic to prove a defect that Pirelli refuses to acknowledge. Is this the new 'Premium' standard?

First impressions based on driving on dry and wet roads during a cool and rainy autumn. Excellent braking on wet asphalt. Very good braking on dry, cold asphalt. Improved the acceleration of the car compared to the factory Bridgestones. It hasn't snowed here in Bulgaria yet and I can't share direct impressions. The tires are quiet and comfortable. I settled on them thanks to your site. Thanks for the help!

Good dry grip, very bad wet grip specially when going over a puddle the car skids dangerously. The tire is not suitable for EVs, they’ve eaten through half the tread wear in the first year (25,000 Km). As for comfort they’re fine I guess not a lot of noise but noticeable discomfort over small bumps.

Tires came as OEM fitted with the car. Not great not terrible. Lasted for a good time and deserves a good grade on how many kilometers they were able to hold on to.
Not a proper summer tire, but not also a proper winter tire. I live in the nordics and have proper winter. These tires would be great off season tires between proper winter and summer times IF i had the interest to change tires four times a year.

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 5

MY Volvo XC40 AWD has been driven mostly on highways and this spring I was wondering what to replace my good Continentals with, so I thought I might give this new Michelins a try. Gosh, these tires are super silent! I've been driving on some silent tires before but these are great! At first I thought they're not good at handling, but then I realized I'm going 20% faster than usual, because I was relying solely on the noise :)))
These are silent (even on highways) and pretty soft, so driving on highways is super comfortable. I cal also feel my AWD is like on rails while driving on local roads and I've never been able to loose a grip. Going through puddles on highway is like going on normal wet roads, without any resistance. After almost 4k miles I didn't notice they're worn at all and hope will last for 40k miles more. Hope I will be back here in a year or two with some more useful information, without any disappointments.

Value for money!
In between performace & comfort range!
Wet handling & branking is great!
Comfort in bumpy road!
Rolling resistance not as good.
Slightly noises on lousy road surface.

I drive fast and have mounted only Michelins for the last 15 years, so I expect a quite high standard for grip and comfort.
Being these my first Chinese tires purchase I was very reluctant. So far I'm in love with the performance, specially given that I paid just 35% of the cost of a touring tire from Michelin, Continental or Bridgestone, like the Turanza T005 I can compare them to. The grip, noise, comfort, and looks are on par, and at least the UTQG specs indicate that wear should be even superior. So far, even if they were to die at 15000 miles (been there with Michelin), I would buy them again... hands down, and they have barely worn yet.

Hello all,
DRY
The tires have very good grip on dry, especially with acceleration.
Stopping distances seems reasonable but I didn't put them on extreme braking, as my driving is not that spirited.
The handling lacks a bit of a feeling and I suspect there is more wall flex, which is a trade off - a bit more floaty but with very good comfort.
Noise seems not a problem as well, if you listen you will hear it but otherwise, especially in the city, you barely notice it.
WET
In the wet, the tires also were OK. I drove fast on a very wet highway and car was controllable.
Still it lacked a bit of a feeling what the car was doing. But keep in mind I drive a 2+ tons suv, so I suspect this might have something to do with it.
But yes, I had no problems following lines, braking or accelerating, or when pushing the car on highway bends with 140 km/h in the wet.
SNOW (slush really)
We had little snow this year in the city and didn't had chance to test these in proper snow, sorry.
However due to our city being quite dirty, I can say that on slush these tires were very good. You feel in control, even when changing lanes trough traffic.
Stopping is also OK but again, I prefer to ease off the gas before braking and generally use little brakes. But I can say, when stopping abruptly these tires were very good.
ICE
Now ice. I had 1 really scary moment, when 1 tire was on ice and I had 0% grip. Tire was just spinning, so the 4WD kicked in and I was able to move.
This is from position stopped to just trying to move past that ice patch, mind you.
This made me really concerned. But when I went out of the car and on that ice patch, I nearly fell off and I was wearing winter boots. Like for real?!
So maybe this was just really, really, really smooth ice.
So I think, maybe whenever tire you have, apart from studded, this patch would be the same.
Just drive carefully when on ice, I guess.
POTHOLES
In general the tires handle these like champions. Mind you my suspension is a bit on the firm side, I feel.
But these tires (esp compared to summer tires, which have firmer walls, in general) were very OK over potholes and uneven surfaces.
I just had 1 moment when I think the pothole (yes we had a lot of those here) was not that big but it still triggered my tire pressure warning, even if tire was not loosing pressure. When I went to the tire shop rim was OK though and tire was OK. We inflated the tire just a tiny bit and after a few kms, the warning went off.
Also side walls seems sturdy, as I brushed the tires against the sidewalk a few times when parking.
WEAR
Wear seems very low after 3200 miles / 5k kms. But its Michelin, so this is what you would expect, I guess, from this brand. And the price.
Mind you not very spirited driver myself. I like my car very much and don't want to end up in a tree. :o)
So tires are pricey but I expect to change them due to years, rather then wear.
NOTE:
Due to the nature of the marking/grooving of the tire, removing the stones from the canals of the tires is very time consuming and annoying.
This is before you conserve them for the next winter/slushy season.
Hope this helps somebody with their tire choice!
