Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

Ford Focus III 2.0 GDI, tire size 205/55/r16 91V, Made in 2022, date 04 18 (late January 2022). I chose this rubber instead of Pilot Sport 4, because I drive on mostly low-quality roads, so softness and good resistance to aquaplaning were a priority, and I figured that the primacy can contain and remove more water in one period of time than the sport pilot, t . To. the drawing is more indented. I drive aggressively, but I don’t race with other participants, so about “slipping, not slipping from a place” - this is definitely not for me, I don’t skid even on Velcro in snow porridge, because I start off in a peculiar way.

As for the rubber, I can say the following: before it I had Goodyear EfficientGrip 215/55/16, with it there was a clearer center of the steering wheel and the feeling of driving karting on dry pavement, otherwise there are solid minuses compared to the Michelin - the tread is hard and at the same time quickly worn out , below +5, the tires refused to hold the road in principle, significantly lost in hydroplaning resistance already from the factory, worked noisier, was unstable in ruts and on uneven roads. 4 stars solely for balancing, checkbox "do not recommend" - for the fact that there is a Pilot Sport 4, which I currently recommend instead of prime because of the small difference in price, Spanish production and all UHP chips with a holder. Other than that, the Primacy 4 is a great tire.

: I drove 9 thousand kilometers over the summer, the wear of the middle grooves on the front wheels is 0.9 mm - given the tread depth of the new rubber at 7.3-7.4 mm, the rubber will cover 60 thousand km. , And this is if you do not throw it. With a flip, all 80-90 thousand can turn out to be a reality. After running the tires and managed was pretty good. Despite the softness, the properties were preserved up to +35 (it was not hotter), the tires did not blur. Slows down so that the stars fly out of the eyes. In general, I did not find any cons. The wheels didn't wobble. I raise the rating to five - the tires are super! Thanks to her, I decided that winter would also be Michelin.

Pros

-Very high-quality made for 2022: no unshaven, no beating, everything is within a good, high-quality norm, + a rubber compound that is very pleasant to the touch; -The sides are coolly made - they are thick to the touch, but not hard, they filter out bumps perfectly when driving; -Excellent grip on dry and wet asphalt; -The faster you go, the quieter it seems - at 140 km / h the difference with my previous tires is especially noticeable; - I didn’t succeed in sinking it in puddles, in principle, the resistance to hydroplaning is at a very high level, although we’ll see how it manifests itself when it wears out, so that we can compare it more objectively; -He feels the rut, but within the limits of comfort (rutting, generally speaking, is a cursed feature of tricks); -Does not tan, so up to zero degrees it does not lose to my winter Velcro.

Cons

-BALANCING. One wheel 10-50 and two 15-60, I have not had this yet. This is the biggest and, perhaps, the only real minus at the moment - if, because of it, the wheels do not start pounding into the suspension within a year, I will raise the rating to five (at the moment there are no beats, I accelerated to 160 as much as possible); -Easy steering after 215 Goodyear, but a person is given a special gift of self-learning and adaptability to the environment, so for me it is not critical; -Small enough difference in price with the Pilot Sport 4, which is made in Spain.
