Michelin primacy 4 Reviews - Page 8

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.

Given 93% while driving a BMW 520i (245/45 R18 W) on mostly motorways for 1,000 easy going miles
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.

Given 67% while driving a Ford Focus (235/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
In January 2020 I did get a new Focus ST Line (182 BHP) fitted OEM with these tires. For some reason Ford has switched from Pilot Sport3 to Primacy4 on all new ST-Lines with 18" rims. I know the PS3's very well from my 2 Peugeot's 308 GT's I had before the Focus. Perfect tires with the only disadvantage they wear faster. But back to the Primacy4. From start on I had vibrations on all conditions at nearly all speed (tires cold and warm, warm lesser vibrations but still there). The wheels where balanced and the car drove straight perfectly, so that could not be the reason. After approx. 3000 miles the garage switched under garanty the tires to Continental PreniumContact6. The difference could be feld immediately, apart from a little more road noise with the Conti's and a little bit less feedback, esp. turn in, the Conti's where much more comfortablee (no vibrations) and much more grip also (inner wheel didn't slip anymore in same conditions). I think that the combination of hard wheel suspension bushes of the Focus im combination with the longtidunal laminated profile of the Primacy4 its results in more vibrations, the reason why none of the Focusses I did testdrive (they had all PS3) had the same problem. I did testdrive a Peugeot 208 II with 16 inch rims and this car had also the same vibrations but lesser due to a more comfortable suspension set up. For me never again Primacy4 tires.

Given 84% while driving a BMW 320D (225/50 R17 R) on a combination of roads for 5 spirited miles
F30 BMW 320D on standard factory fitted Bridgestone runflats on potholed concrete Bangkok roads was enough to shake fillings loose and they had to go. Fitted Michellin Primacy 4 and as they say the difference was like night and day. I can now drive on streets I have steadfastly avoided in the past and the expressway ride feels like air suspension in comparison. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michellin Primacy 4

Given 86% while driving a Honda BRV (205/55 R16 W) on mostly town for 6,000 average miles
I'm using 205/55/16 in my Honda BR-V. I live in Jakarta, Indonesia with not too good asphalt quality. I used it for my daily activity to the office. My office located about 12 kms from my house. In high speed, it feels great plenty of grip either in dry condition or wet condition. Cornering also feels great. I can easily control my car. The factory tyre is a Bridgestone Ecopia. Compared with previous tyre, Michelin Primacy 4 have a lot better noise. Honda is well known for bad road noise specially from tyre. But with Michelin Primacy 4, it can be minimalized. You still can hear some noise but a lot better than the factory tyre. After using about 10.000 kms, the tyre still feel great.

Peugeot (235/45 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
I have not had one problem with my Michelin Primacy4 tyres. I do not drive fast but I don't hand around either. the roads I use are a good mix of motorway, main and side roads. The tyres are very comfortable with no real noticeable road noise. They are lasting extremely well and I will have no hesitation in buying them again when the time comes.
