Tyres feels competent wet or dry, they don't seem to inspire as hard a driving as the original fit primacy 3's did but we'll see how this progresses as the tyres wear or hopefully don't wear. I really enjoyed the 3's but the Kia eniro fronts were pretty well worn out in 10k miles! So quite happy with the feel of these 5's if they last longer. Tried some Hankook kinergy all season, these gripped well in all conditions but often felt overloaded, like you were tearing the tyres through a corner, still lasted the same 10~15 k as the primacy 3's though.
Ordered from BlackCircle to have two new 2 x Michelin Primacy 5 235/50 R19 W (103), Reinforced, Asymmetrical to my Hyundai Tucson Ultimate Hybrid Auto at Formula One Autocentres – Blackheath, West Mids. on 3rd April 25.
Michelin Primacy 4 235/50 R19 W (103) on the car from new. After contacting their customer service by phone in Edinburgh I asked about the difference between Michelin Primacy 4 and Michelin Primacy 5. They explained it was a brand new tyre which came out January 2025 which was aimed at Hybrids, EV Vehicles and they had limited data which was say all good.
I Can only say the following is in my opinion fitted to Tucson Hybrid.
I decided to take the plunge and go for Michelin Primacy 5 after the chat, and in honesty have not regretted it. Having had them fitted 4 weeks ago and going on holiday with them it gave me full confidence in them. Motorway driving in heavy rain gave me a sure footing feel, driving on narrow B roads also gave a strong grip on cornering and braking. Comparing Michelin Primacy 4 to 5 definitely more grippy and noticeably quieter on road noise. I am very pleased with these tyres and will use Michelin Primacy5 when replacing my other tyres
