Melon Neutral Newbie October 8, 2009 Share October 8, 2009 Actually I was at Hawk Tyre (Sutera Mall branch) a couple of weeks ago, they quoted me the same price, I guess they have the standard price across all their branches? Yours is so cheap maybe due to the different in profile? (Yours is 195/50/R15, mine 195/60/R15) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus 3rd Gear October 9, 2009 Share October 9, 2009 Actually I was at Hawk Tyre (Sutera Mall branch) a couple of weeks ago, they quoted me the same price, I guess they have the standard price across all their branches? Yours is so cheap maybe due to the different in profile? (Yours is 195/50/R15, mine 195/60/R15) Not only different profile diffferent price, different country of manufacture also price different. Refer to Malaysia forum on Primacy LC discussion here, thread #505 mentioned. http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?sh...8527&st=500 Made in China tyre is cheaper than made in Thailand tyre. But I hear from local tyre shop than 195/60R15 only MIT available, for size 16" (not sure what profile) it is MIC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsomedi October 26, 2009 Share October 26, 2009 was told that michelin primacy LC made in china. In general tyre made in china is inferior compare to thailand japan or other country. due to the rubber that they used. for tyre manufacture in china by right they should be using the rubber from the country itself. I was told that the quality of the raw material is not as good as those from other country thus will wear off faster and the tyre become noisier faster compared to the tyre manufacture from other country.

Zyklon 5th Gear October 31, 2009 Share October 31, 2009 the lc in singapore are mit, even for smaller ones like 15". Went to a few shops to check, not every shop have the primacy lc. Maybe the shops you went to don't have it and trying to recommend you to other tyres? One big shop that I went to even dare tell me I make a mistake lah, michelin don't have primacy lc and then start showing me the xm1... Just got mine locally. $160/piece for 205/65/r15. Recevied different quotes ranging from $160-$180. These are really really soft. Much softer than the dna db I had previously. However, I think must be careful of the kerb with these tyres. Not sure about grip, but I honestly don't think can get any worse than the dna db. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus 3rd Gear December 16, 2009 Share December 16, 2009 Today just done tyre rotation after clocking 10k km. Wear pattern is even. Will give my review on Michelin Primacy LC 195/60R15 size. Tyre is only single ply, hence soft side walls. Need to pump higher pressure or else will experience not so stable condition when conering. I pump around 240/250kpa front and 230/240kpa rear for my <1.2ton sedan as I find this gives best compromise between comfort vs performance. Max pressure as stated on my tyre is 350kpa, so it is design for heavier weight vehicle, but need to pump higher pressure. Pumping higher pressure for this tyre is important. Grip in wet or dry is ok, no surprises. Maybe I don't drive that aggresively. But sometime when accelerating from stop it does wheel spin for a fraction of a second. Mine is manual transmission car. Other than that, braking seems better than DNA dB, almost same as Hankook V8RS standard. The claim of lesser rolling resistant seems true. Stopping before traffic light with gear in neutral and without applying brake, I sometime find the car roll forward or backward slowly. This I don't find in my previous tyre at the same traffic light junction. But fuel saving I don't find much difference, probably I drove faster as compared to my previous tyre. This is my first time using assymetric tyre, surprisingly it track much straighter when compared to my previous directional tyre. Perhaps its single ply tyre so much lighter weight construction, I feel its slightly more agile in accelerating. Either its lighter or perhaps more grip than my previous tyre? Quiet and comfort is where this tyre does best. Those jaw like marking on the road in Daily Farm Road I don't feel anything when going over it, previously I can still feel minute pulses, but now totally nothing. It absorb minor irregularity of the road very, very well. I think it is more quiet than DNA dB, cos nowadays I get to hear more of my engine sound. Due to my car is noisy by design, I think my next tyre no point getting the best quiet and comfort series, cos now the noise is from my engine or exhaust. Nevertheless, some parts of the expressway is still noisy no matter what type of tyre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
