Review on Tire Michelin Primacy 4 225/60 R17 99 V by Michal Michal ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing unusual, a normal product.

The initial impression I was left with after installation was that it appeared as though I had not changed to winter tires. The normal gravel asphalt in this area has a rumbling quality to it. Somewhere after 1000 kilometers, it grew quieter, or maybe it was simply becoming warmer.) This is the reason for the second feature, which is that the rubber becomes visibly stiffer when the temperature is below +10 to +15. Because there are now more grooves than in previous models, the contact patch is significantly less than what is offered by other manufacturers. It was a contentious judgment, but driving fast is still prohibited in Hong Kong while it's raining. But as a result of this, my car pulls a little to the side, but on Hankook in the winter there aren't any problems like this (albeit this is a subjective disadvantage). The advantages include better control, braking, and drainage of water. In general, to drive when the weather is warm, in a car with strong sound insulation; nonetheless, it is preferable to take the Pilot in these situations. For everyday driving, I would go with the Hankook Ventus Prime since it is more comfortable, it handles almost as well, and its price has dropped by half in recent years.

Pros
  • Putting on the brakes while driving in the rain
Cons
  • Noise, comfort, pricing
