The BFGoodrich Advantage, on the other hand, was credited for stable driving behaviour, comfortable noise levels and short dry braking distances. However, it was criticised for its wet handling and extended wet braking distances.
In mutual test positions, the Michelin Primacy 4 was consistently placed in the top five except in ADAC where it was ranked third.
