Review of Michelin Pilot Sport

Michelin Pilot Premacy

Advantages: Good all rounder
Disadvantages: Better can be had for the same money

I used to have 205/50/16 Michelin Pilot Premacy tyres fitted all round to my Ford Focus. As an all rounder the tyres themselves are pretty good In the dry the grip is excellent and not much is lost in the wet. However they are nowhere near as in the same league as the Pilot Sports for wet grip. Another problem I have found with these tyres is that after a few thousand miles, the tyres I had seemed to develop small surface cracks. However I am sure ...
...All in all they are pretty good tyres, but I would suggest saving a few more pounds and opting for either the Michelin Pilot Sport, Goodyear Eagle F1, or the Toyo Proxes T1-R which can all be had for not much money and in my opinion are significantly better ...

Review of Michelin Pilot Primacy

Michelin Energys

Advantages: Long lasting, brilliant grip
Disadvantages: None!

...and soon went back to Michelin Energy tyres as the car didn't feel safe around corners and the tyres squealed a lot. I have never had this problem with Michelin Energy tyres. On the car I have them on all though the standard brakes are not good it still has a good stopping distance which is one of the selling points about these tyres as said by their manufacturer. Every time I have needed to brake hard they have not lost any grip at all. The manufacturer ...
...knowing I can trust the Michelin brand. I would definitely recommend these tyres to other people for there car all though there might be a better brand to suit your car so do look around and maybe as Michelin for their advise first. Tyres are a big part of your car being the only thing keeping grip between you and the road I find loads of people who don't see the importance of tyres and just buy the cheapest ones. Id rather go for good quality tyres ...

Review of Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus XSE

Michelin Paylot for poor quality

Advantages: Cheap and excellent grip when new
Disadvantages: Grip isn't as good when the tyres are older

...I decided to get some Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 tyres fitted to it. They were only £60 a tyre fitted (195/50/15) was very happy with the price. At first summer) the tyres were absolutely fantastic, had bags full of grip and when they did let go you could feel it slowly and control it. As winter approached late last year the grip of the tyres didn't feel as good as it used to, even on warm days it wasn't the same, it felt like as the tyres were ...
...these tyres are meant for summer only despite michelin saying they are an all round tyre. As a performance tyre I wouldn't buy them again i'd go for some Eagle F1's instead. I hope this review is of some help to people looking for these tyres. Al. ...

* Good "all round" tyre! . .

Advantages: Lasts well, has grip too.
Disadvantages: None.

...for the removable pneumatic tyre. Michelin actually owned Citroën between 1934 and 1976. During the war, allied forces relied heavily on the Michelin range of maps, to plan the invasion of Normandy, during Operation Overlord on D-Day. Michelin invented the radial tyre. 165R14 will cost you around £65, this is of course just as an example, this size of tyre is now only used on classic cars. The size of the tyre is measured like this:- 165 is ...
...the inner tyre rim. Michelin is of course a famous name in the tyre industry, remember the Michelin man? The company's symbol is actually called Bibendum, or Bib the Michelin Man, he was introduced in 1898 by French artist O'Galop, and is one of the world's oldest trademarks. Andre Michelin apparently commissioned the creation of this jolly, rotund figure after his brother, Edouard, noticed that a stack of tyres resembled a human form. Today, Bibendum ...
