Having owned these for 2 years now I wouldnt buy again. V hard compound which might give great wear and maybe ok for motorway use but is at compromise of most other things.

Pros:
- Good wear.
- Wet braking/handling

Cons:
- Hard compound means skiddy on gravel surfaces.
- Hard compound means seal on older alloys to be poor and loses tyre pressure easily.....I assume less easy to mould/seal on alloys.
- Hard compound doesnt make for v comfortable ride/bumps/potholes.
- Virtually no feedback when driving so makes handling difficult

Fitted on the car as new, previous car had primacy 3 tyres and was happy with them. Nothing changed as far as can tell with primacy 4 tyres good in the wet and the dry ,good handling just have to wait and see if they live up to the long life of its predecessor the primacy 3 , only time will ell

After 10 years or running only UHP (Ultra High Performance) tires on my W221 S class, I switched to the Primacy 4 on 235/55/17 17" wheels.

The reason, is that I moved to a region where the roads are generally "Mad Max" status, potholes, and generally horrible road conditions. The P zero 275/40/19 which I had on the car previously was of course "sporty" and excellent handling, but we needed to replace this with something that is soft, and able to absorb the most horrible impacts on these roads.

I can suggest the Primacy 4 if you are looking for a comfortable, safe, and quiet tire.

I was afraid to buy this tire because of the other reviews stating it's " too soft" etc - the tire is not " too " soft at all, it's a comfortable, safe tire that won't let you down. It's not the tire for doing insane maneuvers at 200 mph, but if you're a safe and normal driver, it's the * perfect * tire for every day, comfortable, with predictable handling.

Excellent all round tyre. Car feels brand new again. Good overall comfort. Feel safe heading into the winter season.
Would recommend these Tyre's.
I have only just purchased these, so this is based on a short drive. I have just ordered the same pair to replace the rear now. I am replacing a set of older Michelin Tyre's (6 years old) which has done approx 32500 miles. No issues.

Love these tyres. Fitted them to multiple cars now. Ride comfort is superb. Very quiet. Wet grip is impressive. A really nice comfortable tyre with nice progressive steering character. Would buy these tyres everytime

I change all 4 tyres replacing 3 years old continental premium contact 2 on my nissan. My car really feels more quite and ride like its on the carpet. Really impress with that. Wet performance miles better than the old conti, when go through water puddle, the car stay where it should be. Cons, steering less direct, body roll become more obvious.

Bought these for my 2014 Golf TDI only a week ago so it's early days. I noticed immediately they are much quieter than the Bridgestone Turanza's I had previously. They hold the road well in the dry and as far as comfort is concerned they are exactly what I wanted, the ride is well balance and smooth and the tyres soak up minor road defects without fuss, they are altogether a very good tyre for low noise and comfort. I have only really pushed them hard into a bend at high speed once and I didn't think they gave great feedback but they did not feel as if they would give way. I felt safe and in control but think they will improve after a few hundred miles.
My test drive was over the same route I tried the Turanza's on which included good tarmac roads, poor concrete surfaces and poor quality country lanes. The Turanza's gave a comfortable ride but couldn't cope with different road surfaces being very prone to increased noise on poor surfaces. in contrast the Michelins' didn't suffer from increased noise levels very much at all.
Generally I feel these are great all around tyres which suite my Golf very well and will cope with whatever the roads throw at them. I would certainly buy them again.

good tires, good in wet and dry , less sporty(handling and road feedback) than PS4 I had previously, but better comfort(less noise)

Real touring tire. No compromises to confort. Road feeling is numb and soft in side changes. All you get is quiet silent wheel an you reach speed whithout knowing thats fast! Sonehow mire touring than primacy 3 but with better grip, quieter and good on wet. An improvement but if you want to drive your car and be sporty, stay away.

These tyres need some worn to get the best of them.
In the first 1000 km or so, the steering doesn't seem precise like primacy 3 .
But after that the tyres are fabulous .
I had michelin HP and primacy 3 in the same car, and these beat them by large.

Got these tires already fitted on Saab-original rims I bought. Tires inflated to spec, 2,8 bar.

The 2 Michelins in the front and my old tires from my old rims mounted on the rear.

The Michelins grips well overall and noise levels are good, but the overall impression is bad.

Road feedback and handling is very bad, you have no idea what the front of your car is doing. Feels in a way like the front end isn't connected to the car properly. The lateral stability is very poor.

Very unstable on ruts on motorways and in sidewinds you can feel the front wanting to weer away. It doesn't have to be strong winds even.

Would not recommend.

I've fitted a pair of these Primacy 4 tyres to the front axle of my MB C320 CDI 4Matic. They are quite good for daily driving, with adecuate levels of noise and fuel efficiency. I live in the North of Spain where it rains a lot and the wet grip is also very good. Where they aren't so good is in dry grip. Compared to the previos tyres I had (Continental ContiSportContact 5) they are clearly inferior in ultimate grip. However they are really noble and well behaved close to the limit. You really know when the car is going to understeer. They seem like they can easily last 30k or 40k km (12k to 18k miles) with my driving style (really aggressive at times), the only thing I don't like is that they are showing signs of irregular wear near the external sidewalls and also in the centre of the wheel, next to the big grooves, always on the external-facing side of the rubber. This is clearly from heavy cornering and should not happen with normal driving. All in all a good tyre but not as high performing as the UHP range (Pilot Sport, Assy 3, etc).
