Question:

Is Primewell a good tire?

Bought it from Tires Plus for $73.99 but had $20 off coupon, total mounted $74.71.

Answer:

That's a new brand to me. haven't heard anything good or bad about them. If you like them and they fit your budget, then they might be OK for you.
Primewell is a cheap, bargain-basement entry-level tire imported from China. Durable and safe enough but in no way is it a great tire. Primewell is a tire aimed at people who only see value as a dollar sign, not what you are getting for that dollar.
We just got the Valera Touring put on a 2003 Windstar and they are by far the loudest tires I've ever had. It sounds like 2 helicopters flying 20 ft. above me. You can't hear the person sitting next to you and turning up the radio doesn't even cover it. It's also a very loud white noise which may help kids in the back fall asleep but it will also put the driver to sleep. I haven't had them long enough to say about traction, only that they are better than the previously worn Cooper tires we had on (which also sucked on traction wear but was much quieter). I want them off or get rid of the van. After not driving the van for a day or two, I'll start to think it can't be that bad but then I start driving it despite knowing it's loud, I still am amazed and infuriated at just how LOUD. I can't drive the car without feeling like I'm being tortured. They said it will quite down after breaking it in but it's been well over 500 miles and it hasn't changed. The tires are the only point of contact to the ground, I'd say pay the extra money and get ones you know are good or have proven good ratings. There is nothing much out there on these.
