Review on MICHELIN Primacy 4 215/55 R17 94V summer by Stanislaw Sipko ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

I replaced the Yokogama Geolandar G91, on which the Forester 4 came from the factory. The old rubber was worn out by 60 percent, 4 mm of tread remained. Michelin compared to the old one is noticeably softer, as if a pillow appeared between the tire and the body. On most surfaces it became quieter, especially felt on large bumps, such as speed bumps. The rutting is excellent. Brakes too. A very solid tire, but the Forester has lost sharp handling and no longer provokes sharp maneuvers, does not give the former excitement of driving. The summary is inconsistent. For a comfortable leisurely ride, especially for long trips, the Michelin fits perfectly, but if you want to light up on the road, I would not recommend it. Fuel consumption is not higher than it was on Yokogama.

Pros
  • Soft, quiet. It follows the course well, after irregularities it quickly stabilizes. Does not "fatigue" the driver. Best suited for long trips. Low fuel consumption. Overall, I highly recommend it.
Cons
  • Tire for pensioners. The car lost some of its former handling and feedback.
