Best test result: #1 of 10 in 2026 autozurnal Eco Summer Tyre Test (energy consumption)
“17" Goodyear efficient grip performance 2 small leak identified Hi, On my VW Touran 2019, 1.5 TSI, 17" alu oem wheels I have set Goodyear efficient grip performance 2 . There is a small leak lets say the pressure goes fro m 2.5psi to 2 psi in approx 7-10 days. The VW tpms warns me usually every 2-3 weeks. Im posting a new topic as I cant seem to upload pictures on the other one... Thanks to some help here I found the leak. See the pictures. I have no idea what is that roundish shape it seems smooth/rubbery and the hole clearly come from inside it. What now? Slime bottle? Glue? Or this thing that goes inside like a tire repair kit with the kind of rope thingy? Thanks!”

“So I’ve been looking at model 3 tyres and apart from putting what I have now on at £180 a pop I was thinking of getting these.. very little difference in cost however I’m intrigued that they might enhance the range marginally Michelin e.Primacy welcome anyone’s thoughts.”

Tire B
Michelin e.Primacy
Mixed
Community opinion on the Michelin e.Primacy is generally favorable toward its efficiency, rolling resistance, and comfort improvements over noisy OEM tires. However, owners and prospective buyers frequently note trade-offs in wet and winter traction compared to performance or dedicated all-weather options. Overall interest remains strong among EV drivers looking to maximize range, though many are still inquiring about long-term durability and cold-weather safety.

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
