Bro, first of all did you knew this 3 tires are from different category? If your just normal driving, premium touring tires good enought. If really into sportier drive like always high speed cornering or highway speed demon then go for UHP. There is no perfect tires, want comfort low noise premium touring, but lack in traction/grip compare to UHP tires, while UHP is the other opposite (less in comfort/noise compare to premium touring) https://www.tyrereviews.com/Primacy 4 - Premium Touring tires Eagle F1 - UHP tires Centurato Rosso - Premium Touring tires This post has been edited by littlefire: Feb 10 2025, 01:24 PM

QUOTE(thkent91 @ Feb 10 2025, 05:17 PM) Actually, after i read Eagle F1 Sport brochure, although it is marketed as Entry UHP category, but technically it is the middle of UHP and Touring. My next tire purchase will be this. I am interested to check whether is it better in wet breaking when compared to XM2+ Confirm better if in term of braking performance, UHP tires usually are made better in term of traction/grip which help in braking. XM2+ is the most basic tire from Michelin, besides from long tread life nothing much advantage for me to recommend it.

QUOTE(thkent91 @ Feb 12 2025, 05:29 PM) I have changed 7X tires in the last 12 years for my Vios 2008 15" and 2018 16" 1. Stock Bridgestone Potenza (factory fitted) 2. Goodyear NCT5 3. Michelin XM2 4. Bridgestone Ecopia 5. Toyo T1R 6. Michelin Pilot Sport 3 7. Stock Toyo Proxess (factory fitted) 8. Michelin Xm2+ 9. Dunlop Formula D06 In terms of wet braking and handling, my personal rating as follow:- 1. PS3 2. XM2+ 3. XM2 4. Potenza 5. Proxess The remaining 4 D06, T1R, NCT5 and Ecopia are equally rubbish in wet. From my personal experience, XM2/+ is better than Toyo UHP. Maybe you can share your experience. Bro, if you read the above history he is comparing to Goodyear Eagle F1, for your 15" & 16" size dont have much choice to choose in market. If you want value budget performance tires, you can try go for Maxxis Victra I-Pro but the weakess is low tread wear rating. https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Maxxis/MA-...Victra-iPro.htmThis post has been edited by littlefire: Feb 12 2025, 07:57 PM

QUOTE(juvaan @ Mar 10 2025, 01:58 PM) Thanks Mate - mind sharing what aspects are better for Michelin? For Primacy series they are for sure better in term of comfort, this is the strength of Primacy series as most people will feel good/comfort driving it but in real world comparison data test not all will excel. Not sure about Primacy 5, but from around the net seems like they highlight the extent of the lifespan compare to previous gen and maybe better hydroplane resistant & minor improvement for wet braking when new compare to previous generation. https://news.michelin.co.uk/articles/michel...onmental-impactThanks to a new patented tread pattern, a deeper-channelled tread (+10%)2 allowing optimum water evacuation and the use of latest-generation functional elastomers, MICHELIN Primacy 5 is A-rated according to the European standard. It improves braking performance by 4% on wet surfaces when new3. Its increased lifespan (+18%) allows for driving for longer, approximately 7,000 km (≈ 4,350 miles) further than its predecessor4, in safety, for both daily journeys and long family trips.
