These were on the car when I bought it. When I first drove the car, I though my wheel bearings needed replacing, but it was just the tire noise. Dry grip is OK, you can push them. Tire wall isn't the best, you get controllable squirming. They perform OK under heavy braking. Wet grip is OK for what your paying, but you can easily lose control if pushing it. Tire wear is below average.

Conclusion: You get decent dry grip for the price you pay, but everything else about the tire is rubbish. Not recommended.

When I bought a new wheel and tire package for my car, the guy asked me if I was concerned about road noise through the tire. Having never experienced a noisy tire before, I didn't think it would be a concern, so went the cheap Primewell. What a big mistake. Driving with these tires, to quote another unimpressed person, sounds like driving a UFO. I am now COMPLETELY aware of what a noisy tire is, hence why I found this site, to find a cheap, quiet tire. Thank you guys for this site and for all the input which is going to help me make my choice for a replacement for these rubbish tires.

Bought a comfortable Jaguar X Type just to realize that my tires have the noise of a Big Foot Ford pick up
In desperate need to replace them soon even with 3/4 of their life left

Bought 4 of these because they were cheap and on balance they've been ok in all departments EXCEPT NOISE !
As soon as I drove out of the garage, I noticed a 'whirry' noise from these tires, that gets worse with speed.
Sorry Primewell,... I just wouldn't buy these again.

bought these because they where cheap and recommended. abs light comes on all the time in the wet and the traction control light flickers under hard acceleration. The only thing these tires have taught me is to slow down in all weather conditions and how to correct a skidding car.

I am in the US and bought these on a budget. Noisiest tire I have ever owened and will not balance out well! Wet road condions the seem to be ok dry seem to do well also. I can't stand how they sound like a 4x4 truck tire. I am running the 255/50/17. Beware these tires are junk spend the extra money on a quality tire!

Primewell PZ900 is a Ultra High Performance Summer

People NEVER read the fine print. I see reviews complaining about lousy snow and winter tire.. umm ok. Their purpose is Ultra High Performance Summer.

People don't seem to understand how tires work. Reading reviews is as much attention to detail as what they write! These tires are great, don't read into reviews that critize SNOW for a SUMMER tire, you want SNOW you need ALL SEASON, I guess people have ZERO clue.

These tires are ok for dry or warm, wet conditions but absolutely horrible in any amount of snow or cold! No traction whatsoever! Will never buy this brand again.
