Product description & features

The Michelin Primacy 4 is a high performance car tyre - "safe when new, safe when worn*."

Michelin have developed the Primacy 4, successor to the extremely popular Primacy 3, for high levels of safety and longevity.

An innovative tread wear indicator on the tyre helps motorists to identify when the tyre require changing.

Primacy 4 tyres are available in 15 inch, 16 inch, 17 inch, 18 inch, 19 inch and 20 inch rim tyre sizes.

Primacy 4: Wet Braking Performance

Michelin's use of their EverGrip Technologies within the construction of the Primacy 4 have helped to bolster the tyre's wet braking performance. 

Alongside this the tyre features a tread pattern which has been constructed with an optimised sculpture to allow for quick and efficient water evacuation.

This adds up to reducing the risk of aquaplaning and delivering a shorter braking distances in wet conditions.

Increased Longevity & Durability

The Michelin Primacy 4 has been developed to deliver drivers with excellent longevity. 

MaxTouch technology has been used in the makeup of the tyre to maximise the level of contact the tread has with the road. This helps to distribute the forces of acceleration and braking evenly across the whole tyre, leading to a more even and longer wear rate.

Michelin have developed a new compound which allows the tyre to deliver reliable strong traction and reliable braking performance throughout the lifespan of the tyre.

Michelin Primacy 4 Awards & Recognition

Since its initial launch in January 2018, the Primacy 4 has gone on to win several tyre test awards.

No sign of wear after one year and 10000 miles. Quieter than my previous Bridgestone.. I've now got Primicy 4 on all four corners. My mpg has dropped by about 0.5% which will even out the cost if they last longer.

Fantastic tyres, they have transformed the feel of the car. On 19 inch alloys the previous tyres felt hard and harsh and with very little grip. (Cheapest unknown brands). Now grip is amazing and ride comfort is like a different car. I changed all four tyres at the same time, expensive but absolutely worth every penny. I wouldn’t use anything else now.

All I can say, these tyres give me the confidence in most weather conditions. I avoid driving in the snow only because there's more chance of being hit from sliding vehicles .
