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+ 225/55R17 97Y
Pretty good so far. They are not bad in wet weather as far as I know. My car is a classic, so I don't use it daily.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 4+ 225/55R17 97Y
They seem to be holding up well and doing good work so far. It is still a bit early to discuss how they will continue to wear.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 4+ 225/55R17 97Y
I just bought some amazing tyres that perform especially well in wet/slick conditions. And while they might seem a bit pricey, I assure you they are worth every penny, I recommend you buy them.

Everything is alright currently, and you can certainly tell the difference when it is rainy, as they grip very well.
