    MICHELIN : au top après 400 km

    Dès les premiers kilomètres, la différence s'est fait sentir. Le confort acoustique est remarquable. En virage, ils restent parfaitement prévisibles. Environ 400 km en 1 semaines pour l'instant. J'en rachèterai les yeux fermés.

  • S. Lopez10/31/2026
    4.0 / 5

    Je ne me plains pas, donc quatre étoiles. Le confort est bon, seuls les nids-de-poule se font sentir. Au-dessus de 30 degrés, le niveau reste constant. Je roule surtout sur petites routes avec. Un choix solide, sans regret.

    MICHELIN 205/55 R16: top marks after 7,500 km

    I've been running the MICHELIN for 4 weeks now and I'm very happy. No aquaplaning issues in heavy rain, good reserves. Wear after 7,500 km is minimal, plenty of tread left. Value for money is spot on.

  • Rolf Suter09/24/2026
    4.0 / 5

    Kann mich nicht beschweren, deshalb vier Sterne. Bei Temperaturen über 30 Grad bleibt das Niveau konstant. Der Komfort ist gut, nur bei Querfugen spürt man ein paar Stöße mehr. Trotz kleiner Kritikpunkte empfehlenswert.

    MICHELIN : décevant sur ma Renault Captur

    Je regrette presque cet achat. Sur sol mouillé, l'adhérence lâche tôt. Je roule surtout parfois avec remorque avec. Je ne rachèterai pas. Ils sont sur ma Renault Captur.

  • Ruud K.09/02/2026
    5.0 / 5

    Tot nu toe niets op aan te merken. In bochten blijven ze volledig voorspelbaar. Geen aquaplaning bij zware regen, goede reserves. Het eindoordeel na 8 weken en zo'n 1.000 km. Zo wordt rijden weer leuk.
