Primacy 4+ is the comfort and longevity upgrade; Primacy 4 is the braking and value benchmark.
Michelin continues to sell both the Michelin Primacy 4+ and its predecessor, the Michelin Primacy 4, within the same premium touring segment — and that is not an oversight. The 4+ arrived as a refinement of the original formula, with an updated compound and a stronger emphasis on comfort, aquaplaning resistance and long-term safety retention. But the Primacy 4 retains such a strong performance profile and exceptional size coverage that it remains a live option for millions of drivers. Choosing between them is about priorities, not simply which is newer.

But for drivers covering high annual mileage, those who need a size outside the 16 to 21-inch window, or anyone who wants the strongest possible dry braking alongside better price-to-value, the Michelin Primacy 4 remains a compelling answer that its successor has not fully eclipsed. Its exceptional size range alone makes it irreplaceable for many vehicle applications.
