Expert summary

The previous model was already a good, economy-focused model and the Primacy 5 is expected to take it even further with 18% better mileage. But Michelin said also the wet performance is improved, which is something we are looking forward to see in the tests.

Expert summary

Despite its name, this tyre is focused mainly on efficiency and comfort, which is where it excels. It has got a great mileage and low exterior noise, while maintaining very safe wet characteristics. Dry braking is its weak spot, so it's better suited for drivers that value comfort and efficiency over sporty driving.

Expert summary

The P Zero range is with us for a long time, also being a favorite choice for car manufacturers as first equipment. It’s a good, well balanced and enjoyable tyre. It tends to get quite a few mid-life updates so make sure you get the latest one.
