2017-11-25 - trying to find the treadwear rating printed on the sidewall of Michelin primacy 3 and continental sportcontact 3 and 5. This is my deciding factor on these tyres 235/50 R17 96 Y or W for my Jaguar s type 2004 3.0. Why on earth do no uk websites display this info, would really help if this was included in this website PLZ.
Unfortunately manufacturer's treadwear ratings aren't a super reliable way of judging wear. Instead we suggest looking at user reviews and tests, and if you do that you will see that the Michelin Primacy 3 should last longer than the Continental tyres you mention.
2020-08-20 - What is the difference between 100V and 104V XL please?
The 104 is a higher load rated Primacy 3 intended for vehicles which require the higher load rating
2022-10-24 - I have a budget tyre and a Michelin primacy on the same axle. Should I change the budget tyre?
I would advise you always match across axles so in this case yes I would change it.
2023-02-17 - What are some good alternatives to the tyre. I need to get the front 2 replaced but was hoping for cheaper than £300.
I would suggest reading / watching this summer touring tyre test to see what some of the good alternatives are.
