Primewell PZ900

Just awful. Great for the first 800 miles then fell off a cliff. Shocking understeer developed and they are wearing fast. Which is a good thing. Because it means that I have to replace them.

Totally false economy. Avoid like the plague.

Had a pair fitted to the front, Very Poor wear life Just under 10,000 miles untill they needed to be replaced. Dry grip ok, Wet there very Poor.

I had 4 new pz900 fitted and for the first month/ 800 miles they appeared to be O K. OK meaning just that, not good not bad but just OK. as time passed and the mileage grew to 2000 the road noise increased, their seemed to be a whine from the rear end and I honestly thought a problem with the axle had developed. this being an expensive job was put off and in between the brakes needed service so a trip to the Just Brake Company was undertaken. The noise increased untill such time I was apprehensive about taking the car out of the garage. I telephoned our local garage ( LEX ) who carried out a diagnostic for $30. They came back with a recommendation of changing the tires. The supplying/ fitting company had no choice than to inspect them , test drive and agree that the tires were defective. The tires were replaced and the dreadfull noise dissapeared. Would I buy this tire again? No No No No No.

I absolutely love these tires. my wear is down to the replacement, but it took a year and a half to get there even with the 280 tread wear, and 4 autocrosses on these tires. There was a rainy autocross event and i dominated the competition with these tires. i also set my fastest run ever and my highest rank ever while rocking these tires. they arent meant for snow. they are a performance summer tire. these people under my review need to get their head out of their asses.

Horrible tire wear, I was warned by Firestone Tech not to buy due to poor treadwear - I should have listened. At 15,000 miles, Firestone told me I needed to replace them. It was obvious they are worn, and its not an alignment issue. Firestone and Ford have both confirmed alignment is good -its poor tires.

They were cheap - both in price and wearability.

When I purchase my secondhand 2008 MX5 it came fitted with nearly new Primewells PZ900. The PZ related to the amount of grip, Practically Zero and 900 was the number of degrees you would spin through in the wet before disapearing through a hedge backwards. Two weeks after the purchase of my car, whilst fitting new Yokohamas, my friendly local small independent tyre specialist made me pick up one of the Primewells in one hand and then in the other, one of the new Yokohamas. The Primewells were twice the weight and the tyre walls were four times as stiff but then they were considerably cheaper than the price of the Yokohamas.

Not inpressed poor through the whole range wet to buy again. lost car twice at under 40 mph never had such awful tyres the cars 09 as esp and traction control still cant manage with such poor quality tyres wife never been worried about my driving but with primewell she wittles a bit at least car as 9 air bags.done just over 1k on them got to be change worrying not knowing if going to end up in an hedge some dark night all by myself.So sorry complete thumbs down awful boots had enough of this two months.Will stick to Michelin had none of this bother you have been warned dont buy

Noisey!, hard, Horrible in snow!

Fitted these as a cheap option whilst trying to sort out an ongoing suspension tracking problem that had cost me 4 new avons in 13 months. Problem finally sorted and pz900's still in place. Used them at high speed and in various conditions and loads and have not been disappointed, especially the cost £320 for 4 tires all fitted + balanced. Not sure yet for wear life and if I would buy again. Down side - A VERY NOISY TYRE.

Put simply these are budget tires and are HARD compound, meaning if you're looking for a good mileage tire then these are for you. If you have any kind of sportscar then steer clear of these tires, their traction is absolute garbage if you have power and you will spin through gear changes on the street without trying.

Street, dry, fairly decent grip... for the price, however I still spin the tires through 1st and 2nd under 45mph which is appalling. Compared to other tires the noise is minimal, and tread wear is impressive considering how much I've spun these tires, but again these are 420 tread rating and hard.

Street, wet, honestly driving with these in the rain scares me, if I go outside of its boundaries even once the tires lose all traction and I begin to slide.

Dragstrip, dry, To put it bluntly, do not use these tires if you plan to drag race... EVERY launch I did over 2k revs was making them spin like crazy in first gear, and this is after I had used Bridgestone Potenzas and even at a 6 grand launch I had no wheelspin. The last time I used these at the track was when I launched at 3k, spun slap through first gear and nearly got sideways...

Dragstrip, wet, NO, just DONT.

Circuit, dry, honestly I've never used a more frustrating tire on a road circuit. The squeal through every corner regardless of speed, and again because of the compound.... they lose traction very easily, I spun the car I don't know how many times and finally called it a day.

Overall.... Cheap tire, decent tread life, LOW performance. If you need a cheap tire and something to last a long time, these will do that fine... if you need a tire for performance, please get something over 100 bucks.

I threw these away after getting an "exhibition of speed" ticket from the tires chirping on a gear change. Consider yourself warned.
