Michelin Primacy 4

In the Autobild test, the Primacy 4 ranked 5th out of 53 tyres tested, while in the ADAC test, it secured an impressive 2nd place. This tyre is also known for its high mileage and low rolling resistance, but its price point might be a consideration for some buyers.


Toyo Proxes Comfort


The Toyo Proxes Comfort is a touring summer tyre designed and manufactured by Toyo, a Japanese tyre company. The Proxes Comfort offers a balanced performance on both wet and dry roads, and it excels in dry braking and ride comfort. The tyre has not been replaced by a newer model yet.
