Honda HRV 2022 Tires

Purchased for winter use in Northern Italy, a region where winter temperatures range from -5°C to 10°C, sometimes even within a short period of time: this is the reason I decided not to use winter tires this time, but all-seasons coming from summer tires for the rest of the year. I fitted them in mid-October, and on dry road they surprised me incredibly, as they seem to be quieter than the Primacy 5s; the feedback is obviously a bit softer. Even driving in the Alps at -10°C during the Christmas period, I didn't notice any difference in road feedback.

In winter use, they struggled a bit when driving once on the highway in a heavy snowfall, requiring a lot of steering effort to maintain a straight line and counteract skidding, but objectively, it was a matter of driving at 90 km/h in 3-4 cm of snow, and it was me trying to get ot the limit.

Finally, when parking on compact ice and snow at sub-zero temperatures, they didn't give me the same feeling of grip that I used to have with the Kleber Krisalp: the wheel slipped at times, but then again, this is an extreme comparison between an all-season tire and a dedicated winter tire.

I have currently driven 3500 km, mostly on highways and country roads. My car is a full-hybrid Honda, which can go few kilometers in electric-mode; I don't drive "racing mode" but not even "grandpa style"; just enjoying the pleasure of driving. These Primacy are really quiet, you almost can't even hear a rolling noise when driving with open windows on a good asphalt; on poor roads, more noise can be heard. On wet, it mostly feels like you are driving on dry asphalt, considering traction and stability. In the very early kilometers, tires gave a "metallic" hard feeling, which disappeared in few weeks.

More than decent tire. Can handle corners well, considering how bad SUVs handle in general. Only sort of weak in wet conditions in Malaysian highways, but that maybe more due to road quality.
