Securing an impressive second place among 16 competitors, the Michelin Primacy 4+ showcased its distinction with a final rating of 'Good'. This tire stood out for its balanced performance, exhibiting secure handling on both dry and wet roads, complemented by its commendably short braking distances.

Moreover, the Primacy 4+ was praised for its environmental credentials, achieving a high score for its very high projected mileage, minimal wear, and efficient fuel consumption attributed to its low weight. This comprehensive evaluation affirmed the tire's strength in safety and environmental friendliness, albeit with a minor note on aquaplaning performance.
