Given 71% while driving a Hyundai Kona electric (215/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 easy going miles
A lot of wear especially on the shoulder with a sportier ride. High driving comfort, good predictability on both dry and wet surfaces. However grip and stopping times are significantly longer with a worn tyre.

A safe and comfortable tyre with predictable handling. Dry grip is good but does not have a sporty feel. Struggles for grip under full power when wet (instant torque from electric motor!). Tyre noise is fairly low. Good resistance to wear and seems to have low friction which helps electric range.

Given 59% while driving a Citroën DS7 4x4 E tense (245/55 R20) on a combination of roads for 8,000 easy going miles
These tyres came standard on both the Kia Proceed and my parents their DS7. Personally these tyres are not Michelins best work. They handle and grip very good in both dry and wet conditions with good levels of road feedback. But the comfort levels are way below acceptable for a premium tyre! They offer a harsh ride and make alot of noise in the cabin. This while the DS7 has special active scan suspension to even out every little bump in the road and has high levels of sound insulation and layered glass windows! Got rid of the Michelins on the Kia for the CC2. On the DS7 they were wore down after only 10000km! The dealership filed a complain with Michelin because alot of costumers have come in with the same problem.

Given 83% while driving a Honda Civic FD1 1.8 i Vtec (205/55 R16) on for 12 miles
Overall, Michelins do not disappoint. Have them installed on my 2009 Honda Civic 1,600CC in the above stated size. Dry grip and braking is decent, wouldn’t say they’re extremely good. However, have tried emergency braking in the wet and it disappoints. Wet grip is decent. As an overall touring tyre, this is not a set of tyres for you to fit on and go on spirited driving. Road noise is kept well at bay, tyre compound is soft. Would probably want to try Yokohama/Kumho/Hankook as my next tyre.

Given 71% while driving a Citroën (205/55 R17) on mostly motorways for 20,000 spirited miles
For most aspects a great tyre: very good comfort, silent, great cornering, very good wearing. My problem with them is the vague steering on the motorway, which also makes them more sensitive for crosswinds. The primacy 3 doesn't have this problem. Because of this, i was very happy to change them last year november to my very good driving michelin winter tyres which because of that I drove the whole summer until now. I will try to sell the primacy 4's, pity because I only used them one season.

Given 87% while driving a Honda Mobilio (195/65 R15) on mostly town for 600 easy going miles
Using almost 1 month and drive around 1000km, use in my daily Honda Mobilio 2017. After i change all 4 tyre, i fell this tyre superb quite and comfort. My wife already notice when i change the tyre, he immediately say woaaa this car feel difference. Almost zoro noise level when car run on good asphalt and feedback form suspension really good, my car feel like i drive Honda Oddesey.. lol But this tyre really expensive in Indonesia. 1 tyre cost $86. But for my daily car and safety for my family it's doesn't matter..

Michelin primacy 4 I used since nov 2020 for honda mobilio 2016..after more than 50.000 km it still far from TWI, comfort and give best performance in dry and wet condition..this is the longest tire that I ever use..usually I always change my tire every 50.000 km, because already touch TWI.. But if I have to buy again, I need to hard thinking due to high pricing in Indonesia market..hopefully they can give a big discount when I need to change my tire

Given 10% while driving a Volkswagen Passat (235/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 11,000 easy going miles
I can't really comment on most factors as I don't have enough to experience to compare them; however, on wear - the performance has been poor. They are nearly at the end of their life after 11,000 miles over 11 months. I have opened a case with Michelin. They were all made in the 27th week of 2021.

Given 73% while driving a Volvo V70 T5 (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 25,000 spirited miles
dry grip of the tyre is good but not spectacular. wet grip is very good and still gives some feedback. Braking grip is good in dry and wet. with 35 000km the tyres lost about 3mm, that is mostly highway driving but also about 5000 to 7500 km of harddriving twisting roads and long topspeed runs of 240 km/h. For relaxed driving on the nordschleife they overheated quite fast but are still useable.

Given 80% while driving a Honda Accord (235/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
Smoothens the ride as if the car was brand new but the only draw back is the lack of feed back which could be bothering if you are a spirited driver looking for a sportier ride . For touring tyres this is the best of the best in its class . Infact amazes me how well michelin has formulated the rubber compound to make these super smooth , comfy and noise free . Is truly an example of next level engineering

Given 81% while driving a Volkswagen Passat 2.0TDI (215/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 10,000 spirited miles
I do believe they are one of the best options out there for premium touring tyres, i just do not like how unattached they make you feel to the road. Probably the confiest tyres i have ever had, and way better than my older pirelli p7, but just not worth the very extra price of the tyre. In my country, Spain, when i bought them the costed around 160€ per tyre, meanwhile the continental premiumcontact6 were only 130€ per tyre. All in all, very good, really made my vw passat as confy as my older mercedes benz, and the fuel consumption has been great this 16.000km.
