Simple. As long as you have budget and willing to pay for it. Just go. Definitely one of quiet tyres with good performance. After 40k might feel not same as new.

Still deciding between primary 4 and turanza t005a for my car. Any actual users able to provide any feedback on this 2 models?

I've been using p4 for about a year...225/45/18


It is not as quiet as I expect from Michelin. But still more quiet than my previous tyres.

Grip and comfort.... Good.

My next tyres I may try t005a.

Thanks for the feedvack. Any recommendations for comfort tire besides primacy 4?

T005a ?

Oh, so only this 2. Let me think2 which one to go. If u finally tested t005a, please give some review, i will be waiting

Another silent tyre which ppl say is good is yokohama advan db, but its quite hard to find these tyres at shops in my area.

So far any purchased done from your end and how much for your size in Kepong area ??

usually balancing and allignment they charge how much extra ?

turanza t005a cheaper than primacy 4 right?

Not too sure about the price.

yup...for 235/45/18,

t1005a is cheaper by rm130 compared to primacy 4

I just fitted 4pc Primacy 4 on to my E36 325i. 205/55R16. Will report back my long term review. So far done 3,000km on this Primacy 4 and I have been quite impressed.

It is much quieter, comfy than than the Goodyear Assurance triplemax which came with the car. Coming from PS4 on my other rides I feel the grip of these P4 are not too bad unless you really push hard into corners and try to get the rears to slide out on purpose. Kinda hard to drift my rear wheels with the high Grip even when raining. So far aquaplane resistance during heavy rain is not bad, just not as good as the PS4. But over all long term will need to test it out and report back.

All my other rides have been running on Pilot Sport 3 and then to Pilot Sport 4. In future will change them to Primacy 4 or T005A and see how it compares.
225/45R17
245/40R18
265/35R18

So far PS4 have lasted me average of 30,000KM +- for the above sizes I have used on my different cars.

Now looking for more comfort, quiet and long lasting tyres.

Hope these Primacy 4 will last 50,000km or more

How were the P4s at high speeds and cornering?

And are you on stock rims? 16" on E36 seems like a daily beater car haha

Fancy seeing you here!

a bit on the squishy side for sidewall stiffness, however understandable being a jack of all trades where comfort and overall NVH is also important.

among the best all rounder UHP you can get so long you don't mind paying the michelin pricing premium, however if you're more accustomed into upper UHP or better categorized as EHP, extreme performance, where many older gen car guys may call them semi slicks locally when it isn't actually semi slicks, then yeah dry performance at the upper limits, higher speeds/higher g's etc especially if the tires gotten too hot and air pressures swell, confidence does take a beating.

i am still running the same 1 and only set of Michelin PS4 on my FR/RWD and looking forward to my next UHP which definitely wont be a Michelin (not that PS4 is bad, i just want to try out others and with pandemic mileage being very low, that is even more difficult)

I was actually referring to the Primacy 4 haha, but good to know your feedback for PS4 as well.

I've been using PS4 for my daily and I have no complaints. So far I've only had dsc kick in once due to my own poor throttle control in the wet.

As for next set of tyres for the daily, I'd try out Hankook S1 Evo3. Seems like it has the best value and price to performance ratio at the moment like the V12E2.

no problem! i was in doubt since Primacy isnt usually associated with high speed and cornering, however fortunately for us, i also have Primacy 4 on my wife's HRV

lets just say, even more squishy since comfort priority tires.

cornering, between the old and dead ish long stroke family compact SUV body, and the jelly like tires, they don't inspire confidence at all.
however, you still can take some decent corners without even triggering very sensitive Honda VSC if you don't mind the lack of feedback on steering and body rolling.

if you do want to have some occasional spirited stints/maneuvers, PS4 would still easily be more worth it than Primacy. It really should only be reserved for family oriented sedated or even slow commuting.
both tires pricing are about the same with PS4 being slightly more expensive obviously.
Rain performance about same, only dry the Primacy would lose out a lot.

on the positives side, NVH comfort etc the primacy will easily have the PS4 beaten.

Primacy 4 for comfort and long distance driving.

PS4 for more spirited driving.

Both handles similarly in the rain, however PS4 out performs and grips the road better than the Primacy 4 in dry conditions.

Both feels equally comfortable due to its soft compound, but the the Primacy 4 is much quieter than the PS4 (transmit less noise into the cabin).

Anyone has any idea about the price for Primacy 4 SUV 245/55 R19 tyre ? JB area.

Thanks.

Actually PS4 also can reach 40-50k km for mostly normal driving provided you do rotation every 15 or 20k km.

Guys,
Primacy 4 235/60R18 RM668 in subang, is it reasonable? if change 4 tyres, free alignment service
