Michelin Primacy 4
The Bottom Line
The Michelin Primacy 4 is best suited for drivers who value comfort and handling in a grand touring tire. However, its shorter treadwear warranty and average grip scores may not satisfy those looking for longevity and top-tier traction.
Important Note
The 35,000-mile treadwear warranty is notably short for the category, which could increase long-term costs for frequent drivers.
Pros
- Comfort score of 6.5 is well above the grand touring all-season category average of 3.1, making long drives more pleasant.
- Treadlife warranty of 35,000 miles, although below the category average, is still a specific commitment from Michelin.
- Handling score of 8 suggests responsive steering and control, which is higher than many in the segment.
Cons
- Dry grip and wet grip scores of 5 are average for the category but may not meet expectations for those seeking superior traction.
- The 35,000-mile treadwear warranty is significantly shorter than the category average of 62,053 miles, which could lead to more frequent replacements.
- Noise level score of 5 is just around the average, meaning it might not be the quietest option available.
