Best test result: #1 of 10 in 2022 ViBilagare Eco vs Normal Tyre Test (curved aquaplaning)
“Tyre options? Hey, My 2025 VZ come with stock Brigestone Turanza T005 tyres and after 2 summer seasons I can confidently say they are very loud and the comfort level is not where it should be, specifically on rough concrete at highway speeds. On good (accoustic) asphalt, the interior noise is acceptable. Furthermore, the handling and road feel is also not particuraly great. I want to replace my tyres for these reasons but I have not yet decided what tyre to buy. Does anyone have any recommendations based on experience? (the noise levels have clearly improved) Read more”
Best test result: #1 of 8 in 2022 Motor Crossover Summer Tire Test R17 (exterior noise)
“I have experience with both, unfortunately not on the same car. If I have to sum it up, Primacy 4 is a well-balanced tire, while PS4 outperforms it in terms of dry grip, and braking. Can't comment on wet performance (not driven enough on both, but I am not a fan of Michelins in the wet in general). In my experience, PS4 has similar (possibly better) ride quality. According to the data, they should be similar also in terms of life span. My choice out of these two would be definitely PS4, but there might be tires better suited for you from other brands. What tires do you use now?”

Improved fuel efficiency and low rolling resistance
Confident, stable handling at highway speeds
Cons
Faster-than-expected tread wear and shorter overall lifespan reported by many users
Soft sidewalls can lead to vague steering feedback and lack of precision during spirited cornering

Tire A
Bridgestone Turanza T005

Tire B
Michelin Primacy 4
Positive
Community feedback for the Michelin Primacy 4 is largely positive, highlighting its excellent balance of low road noise, high comfort, dependable wet and dry grip, and strong longevity for daily driving. While some users note concerns over rapid wear on specific heavy or EV applications, and poor snow performance due to its summer tire nature, most drivers find it a superior touring tire compared to factory options.
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
