Michelin Primacy 4 rated 73% while driving a Hyundai Ioniq

Michelin primacy 4, with 360 treadwear rating can reach 50,000km/ 5 yrs. Pass that and it start to have crack lines on its sidewalls and remaining soft treads starts to peel. Its rubber compound doesn't stand well in the tropical weather. At least till the above mentioned points. Quite good mileage, but other reputable brands also last till 50,000km too but they do not peel like this model.
A comfortable ride up to maybe the 4th year. Very good grip as well.
Sidewall looks good after years, does not sag, maintains its sporty low profile look. Cheaper ones sag the moment you fit them in. Gives you the under inflate look despite the correct psi. Primacy 4 does not sag.

September 2023 DO NOT BUY these tyres if you expect to have them fitted longer than 4 to 5 years. I have had 2 pairs, the first in 2015, the second in 2018. ALL tyres developed cracks (dry rot?) in the shoulder around the full circumference in 4 to 5 years (around 20,000miles). I have been driving 45 years, 21 of them in my C5 now at 192,000miles. These Goodyears are the only tyres I have ever needed to replace with 3 to 4mm tread remaining! So, very poor value.

Michelin Primacy 4 rated 67% while driving a SEAT Leon FR 2.0 TFSI

I bought Primacy 4 just after when i bought my Seat which had Potenza tires. They was horrible and Michelin at that time (4 years ago) was still better. However after 4 years and 40 000 km later i can say that Primacy 4 are at most average. Ok, hadling is good or even very good, but comfort is totally crap. Tires are loudly basicly since 40km/h and trasfer vibration from road to car. I could live with that but the worst is loudnes of those tires. I swap front with rear tires side by side - nothing help. I know that Seat is loud car but my freind has same rims in his Seat and have Goodyear and it's much more quiet. Today even i went to tire shop to check whats going on and specialist suspects many things but probably i will change tires for Bridgestone or Goodyear. i realize that profil 40 is not the most comfortable but come one.
I honestly don't recomend. Gum is to hard for comfortable riding in Seat Leon and with time getting louder.

Really happy so far following replacing the Landsails 588 (i think) or 388.. can't remember. one of those. All four tyres fitted in June 2023.
- Significant confidence in the wet, e.g. during a biblical downpour near the Swiss French border towards Basel, motorway had pretty bad standing water and tyres seemingly dealt with it a lot better if compared to other slower moving vehicles. I felt safe, no aquaplaning events.
- Good dry grip, was great going down the winding mountain roads. I felt safe.
- Better in events of sudden braking, i was going to stop, and stop..
- Great comfort, was probably the car as well. but great combined effort.
- Fuel economy getting 50+mpg (i think) on the European motorways during its road trip. Met my expectations.
- From visual inspection after 2k miles since fitting in June very good wear, looking good as new, early days. Have all tyres around 34psi.

Replaced Avon ZV7s on the front basically as the equivalent Yoko's were £25 a corner cheaper and the same wet A-grading as the predecessors.

Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 average miles
I was a fanatic customer of Continental for the last 10 years , i have bought for our family cars ,all season , winter contact ts860,870 , Premium 5 , Premium 6, were almost perfect in their behaviour on the road. But the last 5 months with the Continental premium 7 , it was the worst experience i could imagine . Apart Wet and dry braking that was satisfactory .
The handling and the sense of the road is like i have an other , no stable car. Its likefeel the dimension of the tyres are 40 % less. The sense of the steering wheel is definetely lighter and almost dangerous. I have gone to the tyre shop i bought them and check it from the beginning . Everything was ok apart the behaviour of the tyres... I would not recommend it ( Continental premium 7 ) ..

Michelin Primacy 4 Plus rated 78% while driving a Subaru Outback

Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 average miles
My tyres are Primacy+ SUV which I believe is equivalent to Primacy 4+ in Australia for this size of tyre. It's early days, but initial impressions are very positive. Grip in all conditions seems to be excellent, as does braking performance. I have not specifically rated wear (too soon) or handling (not tried anything beyond routine suburban and highway driving). The Subaru Outback is fairly softly sprung and the tyre certainly complements that, giving an excellent ride. At first I thought the steering seemed a bit light and slightly flighty but then I discovered that the fitting centre had managed to get a 6lb difference between the pressures across the axle (in fact every one of the tyres was at a different pressure, none of which were per the placard!). Having set the pressures correctly all round the slight lightness compared with the OE Bridgestone Dueler Sports remained, but the flightiness was gone. The steering is very linear and progressive and the car tracks true even in cross-winds. Note these are touring, not sports, tyres and their characteristics (especially with a 60-profile side wall) reflect that. If you want precision, get Pilot Sports or Pirelli PZ4s which is what I have on my other cars. Initially the tyres were not as quiet as I had expected, but they seem to be improving as they wear in a little. In any event they are a definite improvement on the Duelers in that respect. I have an impression that the rolling resistance is better, leading to slightly improved fuel consumption, which will be tested when we do our first long trip on these tyres in a few weeks' time. Overall, I'm very positive, as I would have expected given previous/current experience on different cars with Michelin's Primacy ST, Primacy 3, Primacy 4 and Pilot Sport 2 & 4.

Hi,
I had left a review a few months back and want to share my updated mid term review.
1) the tyres still hold/handle like they did when new
2) they are still smoother then any competitor I have used
3) though smoother then competition they are somewhat stiffer when compared to brand new state, I did replace them with a new set to check and I can confirm the new set is about %20 smoother but please dont be fooled from this comment they definately are smoother then any competition period.
4) the only area I would give them 6-7 stars is wear, they arent your typical 60-70k km tyres like bridgestone or pirelli with hard compound,they are a much smoother compound and obviously wear faster, I would say you would probably get 30000km's out of a pair without signs of wear and by 40000km they would definatley need replacement, not bad but not great either however again compaired to the price and what it has to offer this is actually a very good result.

Fitted to my MG EV5, after buying the car with 7000 on it, I am now changing the Bridgestones to Michelin Cross Climate. The tyres have no grip on the wet and are prone to wheel spin on damp roads. Too dangerous to continue using in my view. This is my 45th car in 58 years of driving and the first time I have changed the tyres for other than wear.

The tires in size 205/50/16 were fitted to a mazda nc. Total disappointment after the first 5000. Miserable in the dry, average in the wet. In conditions where there is increased slip on the road surface it is
very dangerous. This is probably also due to the Greek roads
