Michelin Primacy XC
The Bottom Line
The Michelin Primacy XC is a solid choice for highway truck drivers seeking above-average dry grip and comfort. However, the absence of wet grip data is a significant drawback for those who encounter frequent rain.
Important Note
Lack of wet grip data could be a concern for those who frequently drive in rainy or wet conditions.
Pros
- Treadwear warranty of 40,000 miles is on the lower end but still provides some assurance for long-term use.
- Dry grip score of 6.3 is more than double the category average of 3, offering reliable traction on paved roads.
- Comfort score of 5.8 exceeds the category average of 3.2, making for a smoother ride than many highway truck tires.
Cons
- Wet grip performance data is missing, which raises concerns about its capability in rainy conditions.
- The noise score of 5.7 is above the category average but may still be noticeable at highway speeds compared to competitors.
- The Goodyear Wrangler Steadfast HT offers a higher treadwear warranty, potentially reducing long-term costs.
