Product description & features

The Michelin Primacy 4 is a premium summer tyre with an emphasis on safety during wet weather. The tyre uses an innovation from Michelin called EverGrip Technologies. These help with water evacuation from the tread in the tyre’s usable life, and relentless wet grip is one of the advantages during even the final stages of a tyre’s usable life. The technology uses a rubber compound with an innovative tread pattern, and a design with grooves that retain grip with square cross sections which stay open and allow space for water evacuation as the tread wears.

The Primacy 4 is the next generation after the Michelin Primacy 3. Michelin states that the Primacy 3 has a design which retains 22% less space for water evacuation compared to the Primacy 4. Some variants of the Primacy 4 include Michelin Acoustic Technology. This involves using a layer of polyurethane foam in the tyre to dampen sound in the cabin caused by the resonance. We have the Primacy 4, including the Acoustic variants, available on Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Summer tyre for wet weather
  • Grooves stay open as tread wears
  • Foam layer reduces cabin sound

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 4 225/55R17 101Y XL
The tyres are good, but my rear left tyre has a slow leak and I don't know if it's a problem with the tyre or how it was fitted. It goes from 35psi to 28psi in about ten days so I have to top it up regularly. The other three tyres are fine and hold pressure like they're supposed to.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 4 225/55R17 101Y XL
Good for summer and when it's above 8 degrees. I have winter tyres for the remaining part of the year.
