Michelin originated in France, is the inventor of radial tires, the world's second largest sales volume, second only to Bridgestone, is one of the most well-known tire brands in China. It has established 70 factories in 17 countries around the world, with an annual tire manufacturing capacity of nearly 200 million tires, with reliable and stable quality, advanced technology, and even adopted by Airbus A380. In the test of tires sold in the Chinese market conducted by the well-known automobile magazine Auto Bild, Michelin ranked first; In the U.S. Consumer Reports, Michelin took the top spot in a wide range of tire ratings.
 
In the same tyre, comfort, wear resistance, fuel economy, and sportiness are mutually constrained, and strengthening one of them often requires concessions from the other three. Even looking at the entire industry, there are very few brands that can do a good job of all four types of tires, and each brand can only choose one or two types to focus on. Michelin is most concerned about its comfort and sports tires, the former is Michelin's main product, has a good reputation, the actual comfort and quiet ability is also highly affirmed, can bring drivers and passengers a quiet and high-end riding experience, so it has become the original tire of many top car brands in the high-end products, is the benchmark for comfortable tires in the industry.
 
Primacy is Michelin's flagship comfort series, and Primacy 3ST is Michelin's star product. Among all the silent tires on the market, it is definitely the king. So when it comes to silent tires, 3ST must be on the list. THERE ARE ALSO MANY PEOPLE IN THE MARKET WHO CALL THE FEELING AFTER REPLACING 3ST TIRES AS "CHANGING TIRES LIKE CHANGING CARS", WHICH IS ENOUGH TO PROVE THAT ITS SILENT EFFECT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT. However, like most tires that emphasize comfort and quietness, the lack of wear resistance and the inability to withstand bumps are a major disadvantage of the 3ST. If you drive less than 20,000 miles a year and only drive on paved roads with good road conditions, then the Primacy 3ST is a good choice, taking 18 inches as an example, and the price is around 850 yuan.
 
Some users reported that the 3ST tires had slippage and insufficient grip in rainy days, especially when cornering at high speed and pressing the white line. However, in the Auto Bild test, the 3ST Wet Grip performance is very good, but it ranks second to last in the extreme wet sideslip category, proving that its wet anti-slip ability is indeed weak, but it is enough to cope with daily driving.
 
In response to this weakness, Michelin launched the latest fourth-generation Haoyue in 2018, using four longitudinal main grooves, increasing the drainage space by 50%, in the test of Haoyue 4 by the China Automotive Research Automobile Inspection Center, its average wet braking distance is 25.7 meters, which is much better than the average 28.7 meters of competing products, and it is also very suitable in rainy areas in southern China, and the price of 17 inches is about 700 yuan.
 
Although the comfort series is Michelin's main product, its sports series should not be underestimated, and compared with other brands of sports tires, Michelin's comprehensive quality is also in the forefront. The Pilot Sport 4 is a performance tyre designed for entry-level sports cars and sports sedans, with a speed limit of up to 300km/h and quasi-racing grip and handling, enough for the occasional thrill off the track. Its price is higher than that of ordinary family tires, but it is not too expensive among tires that emphasize performance, and the wear resistance is in the upper part of the same class.
 
IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO TAKE COMFORT AND SPORTINESS DOWN A NOTCH AND WANT TO BRING A LITTLE EXCITEMENT TO COMFORT, THEN THE MICHELIN-LEANING SPORT 3ST IS THE BEST CHOICE. It belongs to the sports series, but the comfort and quiet effect is good, is the original tire of Audi TT, A4L, BMW M6 and other luxury sports cars, is suitable for most of the time at home, but occasionally presumptuous also has a powerful type, 18 inches price in more than 1,000 yuan.
 
In addition to comfort and sport, Michelin does not have many wear-resistant and economical tire products, and the price is high, so it has not attracted much attention. If you don't have the ultimate in comfort or sportiness and often drive on complex unpaved roads, the ENERGY XM2 is also a good choice.
