Feedback
Do you have any personal tips to change car tires at home? What summer tires can you recommend to me as my Michelin tires need to be replaced at the end of this summer season? I am looking for improved grip to avoid tire spinning on my old Michelin Primacy 3. But I want the best performance on wet to avoid aquaplaning / hydroplaning. Share your comments and I am looking forward to hearing from you. Wishing you a safe and comfortable spring and summer driving season!
