| ![]() Has one tried Yokohoma Earth 1 on their jetta (205/55 R16)? Time to change my stock after 40K kms and I am getting good prices for yokohoma (7300 per tyre). The other option is michelin P3ST which costs more than 9K and conti MC5 at around 8.5K Not a very aggressive driver. Leaning more towards comfort, less noise and less prone to punctures and driving in blore's notoriously pothole infested roads. |

| ![]() Recently changed the tires on my Jetta TSI to Michellin Primacy 3 ST from Pal Tires, Mumbai. It was a satisfying experience at Pal Tires. Good rates, and prompt and professional service. I am familiar with the P3ST as had them earlier on my Optra Magnum. Good and safe choice. Improved ride, low noise, descent grip. However, they are a bit more prone to punctures. B.t.w. I am happy that I stuck to the original profile. Jetta has excellent handling, and I.M.H.O. an upsize would have had an adverse effect on that. Realized it during my recent long drives from Mumbai to Vizag and then around Vizag. Last edited by acemanhiflier : 1st July 2018 at 09:27. |

| ![]() Guys, I need some immediate help. I will like to go for Momo revenge 17 inch alloys, and Momo/Michelin PS4 R50, 225. QQ - In case I do decide to upgrade to R17, is 225, R50 too big a tyre size for Jetta, and thus I should stick to R45? Else, I stick to 16 inch alloys, and then go for R50 Michelin PS4?

| ![]() Does anyone know if Michelin is still selling the PS3s in India? I've tried searching for them in Bangalore but have not yet come across a single dealer who has them in stock. Even though the A-drives on my car have some tread left, they are making a LOT of noise when speed is in excess of 100 kmph. So much so that I am not even able to have a conversation with fellow passengers without raising my voice! |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() A much awaited wheel swap. Mercedes Benz A-Class 17 Inch OEM Wheels with Michelin Pilot Preceda for the humble VW Jetta TDi. The wheels have same 112 PCD, nylon hub-center rings 66.6MM - 57.1MM makes sure these stay on the hub! |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Does anyone have any information on the MXV4’s from Michelin? My father has been to a tire dealer recently and they recommended choosing MXV4 over P3ST. Honestly this was the first time I ever heard about this model. After looking at the description from tirerack.com I am confused as it describes it exactly similar to the P3ST model.

| ![]() Hey guys, Our recently acquired jetta is currently running on the Bridgestone B290’s, courtesy of the dealer who we got it from. The tyre has run >100 km, so it’s practically new. I got to know from the Jetta review thread that the B290’s are inferior to the stock NCT5’s. After reading about the Primacy 4ST’s, I decided to get the tyres changed as we’re getting a good deal on the bridgestones’. We usually get Michelin’s eyes closed, but now I’m more concerned as the primacy’s are more prone to punctures compared to the continental MC5’s-which the tyre dealer is suggesting us to go with. Our main requirements are driving comfort, good grip and low tyre noise. Goes without saying, we intend to get the 205/55 R16. What do y’all think? Cheers |

Road noise has gone up marginally but I think it's more to do with age then the Tyre itself. The Goodyears I had were unbearable at this point and had to be changed. The Michelins look good for another 10-15K km atleast. If you want a good compromise between durability, ride quality and road noise, get the P4STs. They are even better than the P3STs as far as I reckon though they have a very similar tread pattern. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() My Jetta 2.0 TDI (MT) is due for a tyre change. The original Goodyear Eagle NCT 5s have done about 45K. Am considering upsizing to 215 / 55 R16 - seeking a slightly better ride and improved stance. Any views / opinions on this tyre size? Brands being considered are Yokohama BlueEarth AE50 or Michelin Primacy 4ST. |

If you are looking to improve handling and stance, then the 225/50/R16 will be the correct size. A few years back, I had upgraded to 225/50/R16 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 in my Jetta and there was a good improvement in handling. I think Piolot Sport 3ST is available in this size now. | |
