Review on MICHELIN Primacy 4 215/55 R17 94V summer by Wiktor Kowalczyk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

I got what I expected; the initial impression is very positive; there was no Michelin before; however, now that there is something to compare with, I anticipate that the new model will fare no worse than its predecessor in objective comparison; that is, in the tests conducted by journalists; however, Primaci 3 continues to lead the pack in many of these tests. Hydroplaning is still at large, despite being subjectively quiet and soft. Primacy 3, Conti Premium Contact 5, and maybe Nokian Blue 2 were the available options. While the Nokian attracted a guarantee unless which, according to testing, has lately climbed in summer tires as well, the Continental tires wear out rapidly and the model is no longer new, the Primacy 3 tires are less expensive, but again, the old model, and the world of tires does not stand still. Of course, Michelin is the industry standard, and Japanese tires aren't anywhere near as quiet, robust, or comfy as Michelin's. For that reason, I am pleased to endorse this option.

Pros
  • Very low noise level; very comfortable; very good hold; very light (subjectively; I didn't weigh it); good value; I purchased one in mid-February from a well-known online retailer for $4080; since then, the price has risen with the changing of the seasons; thus, purchase summer items in the dead of winter.
Cons
  • It grabs onto tiny pebbles and then discards them, causing them to bang against the wheel arches. Neither Yokohama nor Bridgestone nor Continental nor Toyo nor Dunlop nor Kama did the same, making them all unusable for riding. It's not very irritating, but it is a drawback, since you rarely have to drive over little pebbles.
