The Standard Touring All-Season tire was firmly in the middle of the group, with a 60' acceleration time of 5.31 seconds and 49.4-foot 12-0 mph braking distance. The Ultra High Performance All-Season tire rounded out the group, requiring 5.68 seconds for our acceleration test and 57.3 feet for braking.
In objective wet braking, the Pilot Sport 4S being in the max performance segment took the initiative by out braking Primacy 4+ by 2.5m. With the advantage gained in wet braking, Pilot Sport 4S continued to dominate in wet handling by being 4.7 seconds faster than Primacy 4+. Michelin, even more than other brands, require regular rotations to keep tyre noise in check: the local dealership we buy tyres from recommends a rotation every 10000km, but our road are basically one neverending pothole so it may not apply to where you live if you have roads befitting a remotely civilized country. 2023 ADAC Summer Tire Test - 3rd of 50 tires. Positive - Very balanced, good on dry and wet roads, good environmental record, very high mileage (top grade.) Negative - None mentioned. Overall - Driving safety: The Michelin Primacy 4+ secures an overall good rating for driving safety. Moreover, the Michelin Crossclimate 2 gets to have deeper tread voids, which means it would take longer to wear down to 2/32″ of legal tread depth limit. So it makes sense why this tire has the Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) of 640, compared to the Primacy MXM4’s UTQG of 500. . 273 418 235 381 69 353 21 418
