| ![]() Looking forward for first hand feedback/review on Primacy 3ST..specially the 195/60. I'm sure few BHPians would have clocked decent amount of kilometers. How has the overall comfort and grip been ? Would be great if anyone was able to compare them with XM2 in terms of durability. |

| ![]() Comparing with the XM2 is not a fair comparison. Comparison should be with the PLC. Some people have said that the PLC grips better but some people are very happy with the grip of the P3ST. It's a mixed bag of reports for the time being. |

These tyres are as good as my previous set of tyres ( CPC2). Iam extremely happy with the Primacy 3ST and would highly recommend you to go for it And, I do some unmentionable speeds on a "daily basis" and feel super confident with these tyres.

I, therefore request for a confirmation on whether you would recommend the P3ST over the CPC2. The P3ST comes at a premium over the CPC2. | ||

1. Grip in dry conditions 2. Tyre Noise Few minor differences here :- 1. Longetivity (CPC2 lasted me 47,000kms. I expect 3ST to last me similar or maybe a few thousand less) 2. Wet Condition (CPC2 way better) Overall, Iam very happy with 3ST primary for the reason that there is no other tyre (except Yoko Db2) that can fit above parameters and I didnt want to repeat CPC2 again and I would prefer a Michelin over a Yokohoma anyday. | |

I understand that you had limited options for choosing the P3ST, but for someone who wants to replace the stock GoodYear tyres and has both the options, CPC2 would be better than the P3ST because of the wet performance. | |

However, do note I experienced 4 punctures till 45,000kms and 3 in quick succession within last 2000kms which basically tells the tyres are soft. However, I personally never had any issue with its sidewall or damage to tyre in any unsual way and i have taken the Cruze to some crazy places ![]() Having said that, Michelin 3ST is being touted as made for India/APAC and supposed to be handle our road conditions better. So its your choice. I like both tyres ![]() Last edited by mobike008 : 5th February 2014 at 16:11. | |

And as they say ST stands for "Silence Tuned", it indeed was completely noise free and stood up to its name. I am currently running on Yokohama C drives and my next set of tyres would definitely be Michelin P3ST. Cheers !! | |

| ![]() Hi all , need to change my mercs tire as it s really tired and has suffered second puncture in last 3 months . It has done exactly 34000 kms in past 4 years . Currently running on Michelin s pilot preceeda s the specs are 225/45 R17 91V wish I could upgrade to a higher profile 225/ 50 R17 but it will foul with the wheel wells as had tried putting one 225/50 R17 into the boot as a spare it didn't fit . Has anybody changed to the above specs please put your experience here . Last what tire should i go in the above mentioned specs my tire wala says the above low profile tires are prone to have weak sidewalls and suggest s Continental . |

If you want to increase the profile, you will have to go for narrower sizes, but I guess anything narrower than 225 isn't available for 17'' wheels? | ||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I was about to pick up st3 for my Jetta but my dealer lured me into buying pirelli which were 2k cheaper a piece. I am loving them. |
