Tire Description

The Michelin Pilot Primacy is a Grand Touring Summer tire that was developed to meet the needs of sporty luxury coupe and sedan drivers who want comfort and tread life along with performance. Used as original equipment, the Pilot Primacy also focuses on enhancing wet weather traction and hydroplaning resistance.Like all summer tires, the Pilot Primacy is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. On the outside, the Pilot Primacy molds a silica-based tread compound into an asymmetric tread design that features stable independent outer shoulder tread blocks (to blend dry road handling with wet cornering traction), a continuous center rib (which reduces noise while providing constant road contact to enhance straight line stability), and a high angle grooved inner tread design (to further enhance wet grip and resist hydroplaning). Internally, the Pilot Primacy features twin high tensile steel belts that are supported by Michelin’s Banded At Zero (BAZ) Technology™ (spiral-wrapped reinforcement) to stabilize the tread area to enhance handling and high-speed capability.

Customer Reviews

I was looking for a very quiet, smooth riding tires to replace the Dunlop SP5000s (?) that I used to have. I had read a few reviews and did some research and saw that these were rated very good, the salesman suggested these or Yokomha Y2Ks. I choose the Michliens due to suggested quieter ride and less thump while going over expansion joints. I am extremely pleased with the Michelins. They are very quiet, eeriely quiet in fact (although on certain roads that have been grooved they sometimes sing a little, very little though). These tires are so quiet that I hear other cars tires before I hear mine. The sidewall is stiffer than my old Dunlops as there is no usual bulge in the side wall and the turn in is sharper; it took me a few days to get used to the better handling. But, the stiffer sidewall does not affect the nice ride or noise leve. The tread is very deep and sheds water well and should help these tires last a long time. I cant comment about the performance handling portion as I do not drive this car that hard. Final review: I would definitely purchase these tires again and reccommend them if you are looking for quiet and comfort.
