There only a few tyres that fit our 2016 VW Tiguan so it wasn’t much of a choice. Having said that these tyres have great grip and comfort with very little road noise heard in the cabin. The tyresales deal was great so price wasn’t an issue. The only drawback that I can see is that these tyres apparently came with the vehicle new and wear on same was more than you might expect - changeover 35k - not a sports slick model and carefully driven

Great Tyre and great value

Spoiler Alert: these are the best tyres I've ever been near.
I agonised for months over reviews and pricing for all the various tyres on the market, having never spent real money on a set before it was quite a daunting experience.
Then there's the small matter of being able to actually source the tyres you read about in reviews. All my searching eventually lead to the Primacy which, over and over, were declared by drivers around the world as the best all-weather grip and by far the most resilient.
Most of our driving is in the country over dirt and rocks, and on long stretches of highway. This in all conditions from freezing to flooding and blistering heat. That's why I wanted a line-of-best-fit through the lot, and sufficient longevity, to justify the expense.
One added concern was the unqualified resistance from my peers. See, I have recently purchased a Rover 75 - a car which originally came fitted with Continental comforts. The local Rover Club was unilaterally opposed to these tyres.
To be somewhat conciliatory, though they were wrong, one concern was warranted - the Primacy are harder on the road than probably most tyres you're used to. Certainly, I would say, moreso than the Continentals. Having said that, I learned to drive in a Falcon XB with Desert Duelers and the top ripped off, I like a bit of rough-and-tumble.
The Michelins let you feel the road without rattling your teeth out.
They also let you do a 180 on a busy highway, flat-out from a standing-start, and get to top speed before anyone can notice what's just happened.
Not that I condone such behaviour of course, but my god it's fun. Or, uh... so I'm told.

I replaced the Pirelli P-Zeroes which came factory fitted to my Jaguar XF 3 .0D with these.The Michelins are very quiet,quieter than the Pirellis,and sticky,but possibly not quite as much as the Pirellis.Overall I think the Michelins are better on this car,and they are considerably cheaper.
