Primacy 4 TYRE REVIEW

I chose these when I bought the car. It was three years old and had a variety of cheap unkown brand tyres. So I went for the tyres that would have come on the car when new. Updated from Primacy 3 to Primacy 4. They are fine in warm dry weather but are nothing like as good in colder wetter conditions, particularly with the torque generated by the electric motor. My other two diesel and petrol cars have Michelin CrossClimates but, as a new EV driver, I was worried about impacting the range. After speaking to many other EV owners on the subject since, I should'nt have been. If I was to replace them again, I would go for the CrossClimates to have more sure-footed performance in the winter.

Purchased to provide safety under high rainfall conditions, they do the job well.

Quiet as I expected. Wet grip good. Durability yet to be determined. I measured the tread depth when they were new and was surprised to find that it was only 6mm. I would have expected them to be 8/9 mm like all the other new tyres that I have ever bought. I would be interested to know what the reason is for this.

Fine Not too different from before

I now have a new Volvo XC60 but when I sold the other one the tyres had done 12,000 miles and were still in excellent condition and giving me excellent road holding and smooth drive same as before.

Second time I have purchased 4 replacement tyres of this type

excellent, as i would expect

Excellent water clearance, very low noise and long lasting

Satisfied various performance

17000 miles in, the fronts are certainly wearing faster than the rears but expected on a mainly front wheel drive diesel. Certainly don't regret changing from run-flats. Much nicer drive. Best modification ever for a BMW!
