Primacy 4 TYRE REVIEW

I purchased these tyres to replace the Pirelli Powergy tyres that I had used previously. Obviously the difference was was not going to be significant between the two types but, the Michelins do seem to grip even better than the Pirelli when you press into corners and the tyres do inspire confidence in the wet. I recently drove for two hours in a named storm on the motorway in torrential rain and the tyres inspired confidence and did not give any hint of aquaplaning. That said I have never had issues with the Pirelli’s in similar conditions. Where I am counting on the Michelins being better is in wear rate. The Pirellis’ Achilles Heel was a very high wear rate which is the principle reason for the change of brands, coupled with the fact that I run Michelins on other cars where again they give great service and a better wear rate. In my experience premium brand tyres will always have a higher wear rate than some of their cheaper competitors but the premium brand tyres keep you out of the hedge, ditch or side of another vehicle with their grip and wet weather performance.

Have confidence in great road holding

I have no complaints

Excellent, grippy tyres that should last for years on a modest powered Fiat 500. Look good too.

Given me more confidence on the terrible British pothole strewn roads and the car is quieter to drive.

Very good not disappointed

They are not at the same like Pilot Sport, but not far

The tyres are very quiet and the car appears to have a smoover ride.

Excellent wet weather performance and low roll resistance.

Bought to match existing tyres, but these Michelins give good performance and also last well. Previous set on front did around 25,000 whilst the back only needed replacing due to age not wear having done around 35,000.
