Ranked #2 of 16
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. Its performance on dry tarmac was notable for good steering feedback and a reliable behavior at the limit, ensuring a safe driving experience. Although performing admirably on wet surfaces, with good handling and braking, it slightly faltered in aquaplaning tests, narrowly missing a top-notch rating in this respect. 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.
