Pilot sport 3 vs Primacy 3 these ar

[2cati]

I’m researching summer Michelin low rolling resistance tires and these are my finalists.

I know the Pilot sport 3 is a higher performance tire (yet LRR) however the Primacy 3 is marginally more efficient - rated a “B” on the Euro lable compared to a “C” for the pilot sport.

Anyone have any feedback on these tires?

I've had both. When the weather is good, the Pilots were my favorites. A slightly softer and quieter ride, better cornering, higher performance. However, the Primacy's were better in wet road conditions and lasted almost 50% longer than my Pilots.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Im just going to confirm if the Primacy 3 is a run flat - if it is - it’s off my list.

I have a new set of 19” BBS wheels on the way and I was just going to harvest the good year eagle touring tires, however I was pleasantly suprised I have some Michelin LRR options.

Did you notice and range impact differences?

I was told to expect a slight decrease with the Michelin's but in my experience, I honestly saw no difference.

That’s great!

Can you confirm the Primacy tire you had ? Was it the summer only “3” or the all season “MXM4” ?

Interesting comparison on the Michelin site Primacy 3 vs Pilot Sport 3 ( both LRR and summer only).

Euro label for the 245/45 19 102Y Primacy 3.

Seems cost aside - the Primacy 3 is the best summer Michelin tire for Tesla’s....

I learned today from Michelin the Primacy 3 is not yet available. Hopefully soon.


there is a 245/45 R19 102Y Pilot Sport 3 “TO” Tesla OEM!! It’s an Acoustic tire!

Anyone tried the pilot sport 3 “TO” verson?

I found a video not English comparing the Primacy 3 vs Pilot Sport 3 vs MXM4

The primacy 3 out brakes the Pilot Sport 3 in wet and dry.

Found the detailed spec from Michelin on the primacy 3 - 25 lbs the Pilot sport 3 “to” is 27.5lbs for comparison.

The specific part number for the Primacy 3 is 09457 - still not available.
