These tires are ok however, I find myself replacing them when the temps drop down to 40 degrees or less. On my car, I have had to replace 3 of them so far once temps have dropped. I try to maintain proper psi but it doesn't matter. Will not invest again

Given 96% while driving a BMW 530i e34 (265/35 R18) on mostly town for 1,000 spirited miles
Had to make quick purchase on limited cash after some delightful chap slashed my tyres.

I took a chance on these budget tyre and can honestly say they anything but!

Better handling and more progressive feedback than the Falken 914 ecoruns they replaced and equal out and out grip; not bad for a tyre that is half the price. Have had Michelins before and they were marginally better than the Primewell but certainly not 3x the price better.

Very comfortable for such a low profile tyre and quite quiet for a symmetrical tread pattern. Wet weather performance has also been commendable especially greasy wet summer roads.

Highly recommend for any RWD performance car couldn't say how they handle on a FWD but I'm sure they would be just as good. Get over the brand snobbery and grab a bargain. One very happy and satisfied customer.

Given 46% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X (235/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 7,000 average miles
I bought these for my Mondeo XR5 Turbo in Australia - horrendously noisey ! Sounded like all four wheel bearings had gone in car so replaced them after 6 months, was annoyed with company that sold me them. Four new tyres later the car is driving fine and quiet again. Weather it was the fact they don't work on the front wheel drive Mondeo is a matter of debate - but if you are considering these tyres - be warned!

Given 71% while driving a Dodge SRT4 Neon (215/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 30,000 average miles
I bought these tires because the previous owner had two on the rear of the car, they look nice and are of a generally black, round rubber construction... I have purchased 4 in the 30,000 since and I believe them to last 40,000 per the warranty based on the 30,000 I put on the originals. I live in Alabama which ranges from hotter than hell to fairly cold with frequent rain (lately). I am pleased with the grip, dry and wet and there are no surprises as I have had with tires before slipping on hot pavement fresh with rain. They hold reasonably well on hard acceleration although the car I have has way too much power for the width of tire Dodge decided to put on this overpowered little rumble wagon! The tires seem to be pretty quiet rolling down the highway, but then again, the car is pretty loud with the open exhaust. No regrets. Cheers!!

Given 76% while driving a Vauxhall Zafira 1.9 tdi (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 100 spirited miles
i have just put these on my Zafira 1.9 150 sri, replacing a previous budget tyre that was terrible. Had a good tootle around in the wet, and these have much better grip all the way to the limit, and good feedback and feel when you get there. even in the wet, minimal spinning in second with harsh acceleration, which you would expect with a cheaper tyre in the wet. noise much better than previous budget tyre, which cost a fiver more. i will wait for the british summer to feedback on dry performance, but in the wet as good as previous continentals i have had on.

Given 83% while driving a BMW 330ci (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,000 easy going miles
Have had these on my BMW 330ci, 225 40 18 and 255 35 18. Some of the reviews on here are actually laughable. These are decent tyres and quieter than Bridgestone. DSC light has yet to come on, lots of traction when the torque kicks in. Don't be put off by reviewers with front wheel drive cars, would recommend to RWD. Last set lasted 15,000 miles. Not bad for the value you get, and good wet weather grip.

Given 100% while driving a BMW 330d (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 28,000 spirited miles
I dont agree with any of the negative feedbacks. This is now my second set. I have these tires on my 330d in staggered setup. The tires have superb dry grip & wet grip, in the rain when the tubro kicks in the tires dont even break loose. They are quiter than the last Bridgestones I had too. I now have these tires on my wife & daughters car also. Excellent Tire for the £

Given 69% while driving a Chevrolet Monte Carrlo (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 150 average miles
Going today to buy a third set of Primewell PZ-900

GREAT TIRE (TYRE) My wife owns the Chevy Monte Carlo they are mounted on.. We livve in Tampa FL...and that means hot pavement most all year round. They hold the road well and corner nicely. We dont drive thhe car too its limits due to it's age (2003) but even at highway/Innterstate speeeds it is true.

Given 21% while driving a Nissan 300ZX (225/45 R17 W) on mostly town for 5,000 average miles
I bought these because I was low on funds and simply put... they were cheap and were rubber.

These tires were never tracked, and only DD driven. I got 5000 miles out of them before they were literally balding and showing radial. One had a bulge commonly seen right before a tire blows out. Pathetic tread wear at -2 camber.

Dry traction is moderate at best.. I spun these tires on gear changes during the summer, let alone during the winter.

Wet traction, what traction, scared me to drive my car in the rain on these tires... one second you had traction and the next you had none.

Snow, see above.

You get what you pay for, but for the price.. spend 30 extra bucks and get a name brand tire that won't wear out so quickly. I have Nexen 3000s on my front which have 40k miles at -2 camber and have been tracked, DD, and driven hard... still at 30-40% tread.

If you absolutely have to cheap out.. go find a used tire place and get some used name brand tires for 25 a piece....

i fit over 100 primewell tyres a week, they are a stunning tyre, clearly you ppl dont know what your talking about, your comparing a primewell to a pirelli p zero which costs almost twice as much n moaning about gettin 15k plus outa them ? for the money they are great, if ur not happy with them put a set of "suntracks " on then you'll relaise what a poor tyre really is !
