Have never driven on those Dunlops but you might be disapppointed with what you find in the Michelin range.Originally Posted by genphreak
Just put 4 (French) Michelin Primacy tyres on my 528iT as my favourite Pilot HX MXM tyres are no longer available. The Primacy is the direct replacement for the Pilot, according to Michelin.
So far unimpresssed (especially at $ 495 per tyre). The tyre vendor promised I could take them back if I was disatissfied, and am seriously considering putting Continental Premium Contact 2 tyres on instead. The Primacy is very noisy and doesn't handle very well.
I now have the (French) Continentals on my 525i ($250 each) and even though they are harsher than the previous Pilots I feel they are quite good wrt roadholding & grip.
The alternative from Michelin for my 528iT was Pilot Prededa PP2 tyres but they were half the price & made in Thailand so I thought I was taking the better option.
I spoke to Michelin about all this and they basically said they will soon be sourcing all their tyres from Asia.
Michelin seem to have lost the plot if they discontinued such a great tyre as the Pilot HX MXM.
It just makes you wonder if they actually drive on them at all ?
The other thing they could do is make the Pilot Sport in more sizes.
