e.Primacy TIRE REVIEW

Better handling and road holding

So far the E Primacy tyres have performed very well. In particular the ride quality is improved over the stock Bridgestone tyres fitted to the i3. I also seem to be seeing better efficiency too, my average miles per kWh have increased from 3.5 to 4.2, however the warmer weather will have also helped with that. I was slightly worried how the E Primacy would perform in the wet as previous experience of ultra low rolling resistance tyres (eco contact 6’s on another car) showed this to be a weak area of their performance. However the E Primacy has performed very well in the wet so far, certainly far better than the Continental’s did on my other car. Certainly seen very well suited to the i3 so provided they don’t wear too badly I’d certainly buy them again.

Great tyre had a pair on the front 12 months ago put a pair on the back 3 months ago great mileage tyre

The tyres give a quiet, cushioned ride. Performance on wet roads is good , especially in heavy rain. This gives me reassurance as to the effectiveness of the tyres

Good feeling, give driver full confident

Treadwise they are a half milimetre deeper than the brand recommended Bridgestone Ecopia's. They seem generally quieter than the Bridgestones, and car handling is at least as good, if not marginally better. Where I've knocked them down a star is because of two punctures and a blowout. Now I know these last are probably accidental, and / or sheer chance, but I just have that creeping thought these aren't as strong as the Bridgestones. Still a good buy overall, and only slightly more expensive.

The tyres passed a recent MOT test and grip the road well. Good reviews influenced my decision to purchase.

Performance is fine I only changed the tyre because the original burst after hitting a object in the road

Excellent ride quality. Mpg is up aswell. Less road noise.
