It's one of the leading tires in the segment and used on high performance cars - Porsches, Corvettes, etc. The Primacy is an eco-tire known for being used on Priuses. Very, very different tires and would not recommend mixing. Αποτελείελαστικό 5ης γενιάς της γκάμας Pilot Sport.

Let’s have a quick look on how much improvement Primacy 4 made against it predecessor. The comparison below utilizes the EU label data and also marketing data directly from Michelin. We will use a common touring tire size of 225/45 R17 as our basis. Wet Braking Michelin Primacy 4 A Michelin Primacy 3 A Primacy 4 is able to maintain is A label ranking compared to the Primacy 3. This came as no surprise as wet braking is one of the key focus of this tireline. Aquaplaning worn Michelin Primacy 4 +20% According to the marketing text, Primacy 4 is able to dissipate much more water 20% compared to primacy 3 even when the tires are worn. Rolling Resistance Michelin Primacy 4 C ,+11% Michelin Primacy 3 C The Primacy 4 was still ranked “C” in rolling resistance which is the same ranking as Primacy 3. However on the marketing disclosure, the Primacy 4 was noted to be 11% better compared to Primacy 3. Wear Michelin Primacy 4 +20% As Primacy 3 was extremely good in wear, we were thinking what will Michelin bring to the table this time around? Michelin noted that the Primacy 4 has a 20% mileage improvement compare to its predecessor which is the cherry on the cake 🙂 Performance over life time One of the major push from Michelin with its newer tireline was to show that its performance still maintains over the tire life time. This was shown via a worn tire test* indicating its superior performance over life time. * Wet braking test, between 80 and 20 kph, conducted by TÜV SÜD product service, on Michelin’s request, between June and July 2017, on dimension 205/55 R16 91V on VW Golf 7 comparing MICHELIN PRIMACY 4 versus BRIDGESTONE TURANZA T001 EVO; CONTINENTAL PREMIUM CONTACT 5;DUNLOP BLURESPONSE; GOODYEAR EFFICIENT GRIP PERFORMANCE; PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 BLUE Summary Overall, Primacy 4 is an excellent successor product which demonstrates better wet braking , rolling resistance and wear performances.

It consists of three ribs, two narrow circumferential grooves, and two wide & edged circumferential grooves adjacent to shoulder blocks. The central rib is embedded with two notches which makes its shape look like a series of the letter S’. While the remaining ribs are divided by lateral grooves to make parallelogram-shaped tread blocks with a single notch on each block. Its shoulder blocks are comparatively smaller with relatively small lateral grooves. It has a moderate siping pattern on each tread tread design of Primacy is Asymmetric which indicates that its tread pattern is not uniform throughout the length. It is comprised of three central ribs, three straight circumferential grooves, and one zig-zag circumferential groove on its outer side. Its inner shoulder and two adjacent ribs have parallelogram-shaped tread blocks with lateral grooves and zig-zag sipes. On the other side outer side, one shoulder and one rib have curved tread blocks of the same size, same-sized lateral groves but with a straight siping pattern. Its inner shoulder has a square-shaped dimple while its outer shoulder has two semi-circled-shaped dimples to provide aquaplaning during maneuvering. Generally, its lateral grooves are wider, circumferential grooves are smaller, and shoulder blocks are larger compared to its ComparisonOn dry roads, Primacy would have a better grip since its contact patch is comparatively higher than its competitor. It’s because of having narrower circumferential grooves and relatively smaller notches which indicates a low void ratio in Primacy. Even though primacy takes the lead, Pilot would still have a decent on-road wet roads, Primacy takes the lead once again because of having a larger contact patch and high-density siping. But Pilot would also be decent on wet roads due to having adequate siping snowy conditions, Pilot would perform comparatively better since its circumferential grooves are comparatively wider, especially the outer ones. They encapsulate the snow and throw it away from the vehicle. The grip of Primacy on snowy roads would not be adequate since its circumferential grooves are not wide enough to evacuate the icy roads, Primacy would perform well since its contact patch is relatively higher and it also has high-density siping. Due to moderate sipe-density and contact patch, Pilot would perform MXM4Primacy MXM4Dry GripModerateHighWet GripModerateHighSnow GripHighLowIce GripModerateHighHandling ComparisonHaving comparatively larger shoulder blocks gives Primacy the advantage of being the better tire in handling operations on dry roads. On the other hand, Pilot would have lower handling on dry roads due to relatively lower shoulder blocks which means having a lower contact siping density in Pilot’s shoulders is relatively higher than its competitor’s shoulders. This would improve its handling or steering operation on wet roads. But the hydroplaning resistivity of Primacy during maneuvering would also be decent and it can perform better wet larger lateral grooves on its shoulders, Primacy would perform exceptionally well in snowy conditions. These larger shoulder grooves would provide maximum space for ice to get encapsulated and be thrown away from the vehicle during steering icy roads, Pilot would have better handling efficiency due to high-density siping on its shoulder blocks. Primacy would perform moderately since it also has a decent siping density on its shoulder MXM4Primacy MXM4Dry HandlingLowHighWet HandlingHighModerateSnow HandlingLowHighIce HandlingHighModerateComparison of Hydroplaning ResistivityOn wet roads, the best option would be Pilot. Even though its siping density lacks behind its competitor, its hydroplaning resistivity would be comparatively better due to the high void ratio and comparatively larger circumferential & NoiseHaving a high void ratio and more tread depth makes Pilot more uncomfortable and noisier compared to its competitor. It’s because wider grooves not only allow water or mud but also air which gets trapped and starts colliding with the tread walls, this is what causes noise and makes the journey in this case, Primacy wins the race of being the quieter and more comfortable tire than its & SpeedLoad and speed rating of both ratings and values of identical size are being mentioned lbs.RatingValueRatingValuePilot 245/45R17H130 mph951521Primacy 245/45R17H130 mph991709As we can see and conclude that the speed rating of both tires is equivalent but Primacy can withstand more load under the same conditions compared to its Resistance and Fuel EfficiencyThe resistance between the road and the tire, while it’s moving, is known as the rolling resistance. It can also be quantified as the energy consumed by the tires to overcome the resistance. The energy loss in this phenomenon is known as hysteresis. The hysteresis is directly related to the contact patch of the tire which means that the tire with a low void ratio would consume more energy to overcome the rolling that definition, it is clear that Primacy would have more energy consumption since it has a low void ratio and high contact patch. So Pilot is the winner in this race and a more energy-efficient is slightly more expensive than its competitor which is unjustified since its competitor is better in many aspects such as on-road handling, mud-terrain traction, comfort, load endurance, and durability. The cost of a single unit of Michelin Pilot MXM4 245/45R17 and Primacy MXM4 245/45R17 is $ and $ SummaryPilot has;Better grip on snowy handling on wet and icy miles of mileage energy high has;Better grip on dry, wet, and icy handling on dry and snowy load endurance.
