Our take

The Michelin Primacy Tour A/S ZP is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize comfort and noise reduction in their grand touring all-season tires. With both comfort and noise scores at 8, it aligns with category expectations, ensuring a pleasant driving experience. However, its treadwear warranty of 30,000 miles is a major drawback, especially when the category average is over 62,000 miles, making it less appealing for those who drive extensively. In terms of wet grip and handling, the tire performs competently, with scores of 7.5 that meet or slightly exceed category averages. This makes it a reliable option for varied weather conditions and daily driving. However, its UTQG treadwear rating of 540 is slightly below the category benchmark, indicating a potentially shorter lifespan than competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45, which could lead to more frequent replacements. For those comparing options, the Primacy Tour A/S ZP may not be the best fit for high-mileage drivers due to its limited treadwear warranty. Competitors like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control and Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ offer longer-lasting alternatives. Overall, this tire is best suited for comfort-focused drivers who don't prioritize longevity or high-speed capabilities.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores of 8 align with the category average, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride typical of grand touring tires.
  • Wet grip rating of 7.5 slightly exceeds the category average of 7.4, providing reliable performance in rainy conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 matches the category average, making it a competent choice for everyday driving.

Cons

  • The 30,000-mile treadwear warranty is well below the segment average, making it a costly option for high-mileage drivers.
  • Treadwear warranty of 30,000 miles is significantly below the category average of 62,053 miles, potentially increasing long-term costs.
  • UTQG treadwear rating of 540 is about average compared to the category average of 574, suggesting a shorter lifespan compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45.
  • Speed rating of 'R' is lower than many competitors, which may limit its suitability for vehicles requiring higher speed capabilities.
