Michelin Primacy HP
Reviewed by S Jenkins on
I expected to get reduced grip with these tyres as the tread wear is very good and Michelin tyres I used 20-30 years ago gave good mileage at the expense of poor grip , particularly in the wet.
I was really impressed with these.

The Michelin Pilot Primacy is a Grand Touring Summer tyre that was developed to meet the needs of sporty luxury coupe and saloon 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 tyres, 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.
