Product description & features

The Michelin Primacy 4+ is a premium summer tyre that focuses on improving safety and performance with wear. It employs Michelin EverGrip Technologies to maintain wet braking performance as the tyre wears by generating new grooves to clear water from the tyre. The Primacy 4+ uses two rubber compounds in the tread, with the outer layer wearing away to preserve the water channeling grooves. Michelin’s MaxTouch Construction evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, braking, and cornering over the patch of road the tyre is in contact with, promoting even wear of the tread.

The Primacy 4+ is the successor to the Primacy 4, and is in turn succeeded by the Primacy 5. There are reinforced XL variants for heavier vehicles. We have the Michelin Primacy 4+ available at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Wet braking maintained as tyre wears
  • Two rubber compounds in tread
  • Reinforced XL versions available

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 4+ 195/50R16 88V XL
I feel more confident driving in the rain. I also agree that the car is much quieter than the previous ones. Lastly, I think the tyres are perfectly fine.
