Product description & features

The Michelin Primacy 4 E is a high-end summer tyre interested in consistently high performance in wet braking even as the tyre wears down. Specifically, Michelin's EverGrip Technologies reinforce this goal and feature a combination of a special rubber compound and a unique design. This design helps channel water away from the tread even as the tyre wears down. This is accomplished through the design revealing additional grooves as rubber wears down. Unlike standard rubber compounds, the Michelin Primacy 4 E retains performance even as the tread shrinks.

Michelin also claims the worn grooves of the Primacy 4 E leave 22% greater space for water evacuation. They even claim that when worn down to the legal limit, this tyre has a braking distance of 2.8m less than its competitors. The Primacy 4 is the successor to the Primacy 3, and the Primacy 4+ is an even newer tyre in this family. You can find the Michelin Primacy 4 E on Tyres.co.uk.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 4 E 185/50R16 81H
Similar performance on wet and dry roads means there is a small reduction in road noise making it a little quieter. I was happy with the fuel consumption of the Continentals, however the Michelins are proving better, adding a slight improvement in fuel consumption.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 4 E 185/50R16 81H
I bought these tyres to replace the factory Continentals that came with my new car and only lasted 14,000 miles. The car is much quieter now, and the driving experience is so much better. From my past experience, I'm sure these tyres will last a lot longer.
