Michelin Primacy 4

The Michelin Primacy 4, on the other hand, received excellent marks for its high-quality handling, dry braking prowess, safety, and mileage. However, it faces some drawbacks in terms of wet performance (as noted in the ADAC 2021 test). The Primacy 4 outperformed the Dynaxer HP4 in both the AutoBild and ADAC tests, finishing in 5th place in both tests. In the AutoBild test, its best features were dry handling and comfort, while in the ADAC test, dry braking, safety, and mileage were highlighted.Strengths: Dry handling, braking, safety, and mileage.Weaknesses: Wet performance and high price.

Given the overall test results, the Michelin Primacy 4 is the superior tyre in terms of performance, handling, and safety. However, its high price might deter some drivers from choosing it. On the other hand, the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 provides a comfortable and quiet ride, but its wet performance limitations should be considered, especially if you often drive in rainy conditions.
