Well i have driven these tires for more than 10k kms, they are quiet and comfy , bad road feedback and lousy handling is evident, tires tend to skid badly when road is not that grimy, the aquaplaning is bad too. over priced tire which i regret buying now will switch to continental premium contact 6. (Just after driving 10k kms)

Very good tyre but not for sport drive. Very good on dry and wet but not for corners because have soft sidewall. Overall it's a good tyre but not sporty drive only highway and normal drive

Given 70% while driving a Mercedes Benz C180 (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 100 easy going miles
Tyre performs as you would expect a michelin to, HOWEVER, tyre wall is covered extensively in a fine ribbed pattern that makes the tyre look grey-faded from day one. Very disappointing design flaw in my opinion. May be less of a problem if you have a narrow sidewall, but my 195/65/15’s look awful.

I am michelin user since 1981. After each purchase of a new car I changed the tyres with michelin, if the original ones were not. Last year when I bought it, Golf came with Continental Eco Contact tyres that I used around 1000km, I mostly complained about noise. Comfort and handling were good enoughİ!

Renault Megane II Break 1.5dCI 105Hp (195/65 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Recently purchased four Primacy 4 to substitute 4 Dunlop Sport Bluresponse, which were down to 2mm in 28.000 miles (45.000 km), permutations included. I live in Spain and my driving is about 20 miles (30 km) a day from the city towards an industrial area. My other option was the Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance 2, but an offer for the same price made me choose the Primacys. I was surprised as I checked the initial depth at about 6.5mm in the center channels and slightly less, about 6,2mm, in the outer channels. I just hope they last longer than the previous. They are made in Poland, weeks 10 and 11, so just before this virus disaster.

Best tyres for my Fiat Punto! Silent, grippy and last long. Drive mostly on motorways. Wear is OK, even with my sporty drivestyle. Bumps and ridges are damped nicely. Would definitely buy again! Gighly recommended.

I been a big advocate for a good tyres, and primacy 4 was a best decision I done thus far! In last 7 months I covered around 10k miles and have very little wear at the front. Little to no wear at the rear! Happy Michelin customer will buy again.

Had the Dunlop Veuro 303 previously. This tire has uneven wear on all tires and also had step wear on all tires for some reason. This made the ride noisy and felt as though my wheel bearings had gone bad. I decided to go with the Primary 4 after 3 months of reviewing and must say what a difference this makes. The ride comfort is amazing and the road noise is nearly gone fully. I can't comment on the wet grip as we live in a desert (Dubai). I will update this review after a few months on the tire wear. But from the reviews, it looks as though they will last me 60k km.

Given 100% while driving a Peugeot 208 1.5 BlueHDi (185/65 R15 T) on mostly motorways for 1,000 spirited miles
The tire is at 6.2mm of tread, Treadwear 340 Traction A Temperature A readings. You get what you'd expect out of a premium tire manufacturer for the touring segment. Dry and wet grip are phenomenal. Braking hard in the dry is like being kicked backwards. If anything (or anyone) is loose in the car, they'll start flying forward, be careful. That's how good the grip is. Wet braking is astonishing, too. Even if the tarmac is horribly slippery, you still get friction and decelerate. On good tarmac, when braking in the wet you start wondering if it really is wet outside and not dry. Straight aqua: I cannot comment yet, because the conditions have not been appropriate for conclusions. I think feedback, handling and comfort are balanced perfectly fine so as to blend the properties of a grippy and comfortable tire with those of a long-lasting and effective in wet braking one. Noise is very low, not the lowest I have experienced, but definitely low. For wear, I cannot comment so far, but given my experience with Michelin for more than two decades, I'd say they'll most likely top 80.000 before getting anywhere near the 1.6mm limit. As for their price, I got them for 250 euros a set of four, balanced, new valves. Buy again? Hell yeah.
