2 Answers
Here are the models and functions of Michelin tires: 1. Energy Series: Economical, durable, quiet and comfortable, suitable for small and medium-sized cars with 14-18 inch rims. The Energy Series is Michelin's main economical and durable tire. The XM1+ is positioned as economical and durable, while the XM2 Toughness is positioned as durable and safe. Compared with the previous two, the MXV8 has better comfort and quietness, making it more suitable for medium and large-sized cars. 2. Primacy Series: Quiet and comfortable, fuel-efficient, safe, and with good handling, suitable for medium and large-sized cars with 15-19 inch rims. The Primacy Series is Michelin's main quiet and comfortable tire, mainly including the Primacy LC Bo Yue, Primacy 3ST Hao Yue, and Primacy HP. The LC Bo Yue is positioned as quiet and comfortable with fuel efficiency, while the HP is positioned as quiet and comfortable with strong handling performance. The latest Primacy 3ST from Michelin focuses on safety, quietness, and comfort. 3. Pilot Series: High performance, handling, and safety, suitable for high-performance models with 14-21 inch rims. The Pilot Series is the representative of Michelin's high-performance tires, mainly including five patterns: PP2, PS2, PS3, PSS, and CUP2. These four tires are positioned as high-performance and high-handling, but they also have some drawbacks, such as excessive tire noise, poor comfort, and a wear index of around 300, resulting in lower durability. 4. Latitude SUV Series Latitude Tour HP: Off-road, comfortable, and wear-resistant, suitable for SUV models with 15-22 inch rims (excluding 21 inches).
With years of experience in car repairs, I've handled many Michelin tires. Common models like the Primacy 4 are designed for daily driving, focusing on comfort and quietness with excellent road vibration absorption. The Pilot Sport 4S is perfect for sports car enthusiasts, offering exceptional grip and quick cornering response. The CrossClimate 2 is an all-season option with great wet safety performance and stable braking in rain or snow. The Latitude Sport is ideal for SUVs, known for its durability and strong grip on off-road terrains. Choosing tires depends on your vehicle type and usage scenario. For city commuting, the Primacy is recommended, while the CrossClimate provides more peace of mind for weekend trips. Remember to regularly check tire pressure and wear to extend lifespan and save costs. Overall maintenance advice includes a professional check-up once a year.
