The global automotive industry every year increases, and increases the pace of its development. Every year there are dozens of new models and engines. Car is getting stronger, faster and cheaper. In addition to improving performance, automakers are paying great attention to improving the handling, comfort and safety. And that's no small importance, these three indicators are inherently connected with the quality set of tires, which are the main link between the vehicle and the road surface. At the turn of the season thousands of motorists are beginning to search for a new "footwear" for their "iron horses". Now the good selection of rubber on the Russian market is huge. Every year tire brands tend to release new models to meet the needs of the largest possible number of consumers. In all this variety of simple inhabitants is very easy to get confused. However, for most car owners in choosing the basic parameters of new tires are safety, comfort, long life and reasonable price. During this summer we decided to conduct its own test of a long summer tires. As an experimental, we chose the production of tires of one of the largest and most popular global tire manufacturers - the company Michelin. In addition to worldwide fame, this brand is one of the most popular in Russia. For the test we were given one of the latest developments of the company - a model Primacy HP, which was installed on a car BMW 318i with a system of ABS. Back in 1992, Michelin has created a so-called "green" bus, which was released on revolutionary technology. Its essence lies in the fact that one component of the rubber compound silicon steel, which can reduce vehicle fuel consumption due to low rolling resistance. When you create tires Michelin Primacy HP has been adopted this technology. Developing tires Michelin Primacy HP, the company's engineers were guided by three pre-prepared solutions. The first concerns the method of developing tires. He called the SEC (C - Structure, P - Protector, and K - Components). These three factors directly affect the balance of the characteristics of the tire, which is one of the most important indicators. The higher the score, the better to exhibit the characteristics of the tire under different weather conditions and on different road surfaces. The second solution is technological in nature. It should be noted that the development of tires increased attention was paid to the balance of "flexibility - rigidity. Flexibility allows the bus to easily change shape, to maximize the contact area. In this case, the tire tread must possess sufficient rigidity to ensure maximum efficiency of rubber in the contact area. The third solution also applies to the technology of the tread, which is a combination of components and ElastoSPORT Full Silice, obtained thanks to the technology of manufacturing of rubber compound, used by Michelin. Thanks to its structure, each point tires Michelin Primacy HP, which is in contact patch, has even wear, that is, each point of the tread works the same on the other. This work provides even tire wear, which is one of the most important conditions for long-term operation. Since the tires were installed recently, you can only tell about the first impression, but it remains highly enjoyable. First, we should distinguish very low noise of tires on asphalt. In addition, I would like to note the impressive smoothness, demonstrated the car, suspension is configured for dynamic driving style. Despite the high level of comfort, tires Michelin Primacy HP demonstrates good handling on the road - while driving in a straight line, they clearly respond to the motion of the helm. During a brief test until we have had occasion to visit an emergency situation - on the suburban road at a speed of 100 km / h, to avoid the collision, had to make a rather sharp perestavku. The car has not shown the slightest hint of demolition. Certainly, his behavior on dry pavement is largely dependent on the design of steering and suspension, but no doubt that the coupling properties tires play an important role - and a Michelin Primacy HP are high. Specifications Michelin Primacy HP 225/50 R16 dimension of the index speed of 240 km / h (V) Load Index 630 kg (92) Summer Season Average price for 4 pieces of 20 000 rubles.
