Review on MICHELIN Primacy 4 215/55 R17 94V summer by Jnis Muinieks ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice price, good quality.

225.45R17 Soft sides (comfort fights with handling) Noise (depends on cm faults) Nearly found a balance between handling and comfort, Michelin respects + - controllability (depends on pressure, if below 2.4, roll begins) +- price () For not testing their tires in 2022 on uneven pavement, I give Michelin four stars because the rubber turned out to be successful, fairly comfortable, and safe. Should I retake it? I still haven't found that happy medium. There are quieter, more pleasant tires, and there are louder, stronger tires with a hook and precise handling. A Pilot Sport4 please:)) In order to make a fair comparison, you must use identical vehicles, road surfaces, tire characteristics, and manufacturing years. So far (same vehicle, same environment, same pavement), I've found the TOYO CF2 205/55R16 produced in Japan to be the quietest and most comfortable option. The YM noise rating for the Premacy4 225/45/R17 is 4.5, whereas the rating for the Proxes CF2 225/45/R17 is only 4.3 (rating date 10/04/2022, because it varies based on weather conditions). I refuse to eat this Japanese jelly just to pass the test; perhaps I will try it after I retire. A Pilot Sport4 please:))

Pros
  • Plus: + great braking in dry and wet conditions + very quiet on good pavement and at speeds of 15+ + Michelin guarantee works (replaced a punctured tire without question) + good handling (depending on pressure) + quite comfortable tires + well swallows small irregularities, not bad in the medium and recumbent:) + does not get closer to 0 + keeps + 200 km/h without problems, there are no pulsations for the car or the driver + balancing to zero (I
Cons
  • There is no hook in comparison to the PlayStation 4 (200+ one-legged horses), rubber for family people like myself, and there is no noise from the car if the pressure is more than 2.4, the temperature is less than 15, and the asphalt is rough. - lacks precision of control - scoops up pebbles and hurls them, especially after rain, against the fender liner Take it, rubber is great for you if you despise tagging and traffic light battles. I don't need it either, but driving a Vag hot hatch is exciting, and the excitement is diminished on cheap rubber due of poor handling.
