Michelin Pilot Sport 5 vs Michelin Primacy 4 — Compared

“I had PS5’s on they were great literally all the grip you could ever want (not a very powerful car) and they have an incredibly long life span, I didn’t find them loud at all and i also now have an Audi a5 coupe and the car itself blocks out most noise especially if you have music on so it’s not something you should worry about, I know the Asym6 have more grip but it’s marginal I’d personally get the ps5’s just because of the beautiful side wall!”

“In my experience they are quite long wearing tires and well worth the cost. I used to get around 40k out of most tyres. My first set of ps4’s lasted 55k and now the ps5’s are trending to beat it. I'm a pretty spirited driver around the roundabouts of Canberra too, though I only have a hatch so experiences may vary. As to performance I've driven them on my i30 n-line and other people’s i30N, BRZ, tesla 3, and stinger and the tyres have more grip than I have guts to push them on public roads. In both wet and dry they are very confidence inspiring and a hell of a lot of fun.”

“Pilot sport 5? Hi, after replacement tyres for M3. Just touched 30k miles and all 4 need doing. Michelin 235/45 ZR18 (98Y) XL TL PILOT SPORT 5 I was looking at these 154 pounds from Costco. Only they’re not T rated. Was comparing them with the original 235/45 ZR 18 PILOT SPORT 4 XL TO TESLA these are 204 pounds at Costco. Thoughts on whether the PS5 will be ok please? Visited a couple of independent tyre shops yesterday, 1 quoted budget 100 each through to PS4s at 230 each. The second wouldn’t quote on non Tesla approved, so just quoted the PS4 T0s at 203 each. Cheers”

“Review Michelin Primacy 4 — impresii după 2 sezoane de utilizare Salut comunitate! 👋 Vreau să împărtășesc experiența mea cu anvelopele Michelin Primacy 4, pe care le folosesc de aproximativ 2 ani pe mașina de familie (un VW Golf 7). De ce am ales Michelin Primacy 4: Am citit multe teste comparative și Primacy 4 ieșea constant în top la frânare pe ud Garanția de 4 ani la uzură Pretul era ok pentru ce oferă (le-am luat de pe avemanvelope.ro la vremea aia) Experiența după 2 sezoane: ✅ Ce mi-a plăcut: Frânare excelentă pe ploaie — diferența față de anvelopele chinezești pe care le aveam înainte e uriașă Zgomot redus — nu se aude aproape nimic la viteze de autostradă Uzură uniformă — am 35.000 km pe ele și mai au cam 4-5mm profil Consum combustibil similar cu ce aveam înainte (nu am observat impact) ❌ Ce nu mi-a plăcut: Prețul — sunt cu ~30% mai scumpe decât alte brand-uri premium Pe zăpadă nu sunt extraordinare (dar sunt anvelope de vară, ce să mai) Verdict: Dacă bugetul permite, le recomand cu încredere. Pentru mine, siguranța la frânare pe ud a fost factorul decisiv. Le-aș cumpăra din nou. Pentru cine e interesat, le găsiți aici: Voi ce anvelope folosiți? Ați avut experiențe bune cu Michelin sau preferați alte brand-uri? Read more”

“I have used Michelin tires before but recently I already have used Nankang tires. I compared Michelin and Nankang tires after testing. It was quite a pleasant surprise that the Nankang AS1 was nearly on par with the Michelin Primacy 4 in braking distance. Both tires performed exceptionally well, with the Primacy 4 only stopping slightly 3 meters shorter than the AS1.”

“Am at Saifees, Mumbai. One of my Primacy 4 got punctured at an angle, so is wasted. The tread depth on these 4 year old, 41350 km run is just less than 4mm, so due for replacement after another 5-10k (3mm depth). Saifee tells me Primacy 5 may come at year end. Some tyres willl be manufactured in India (unconfirmed, but usually Saifee knows better) , but can't predict which ones. Meanwhile I've taken an Apollo Alnac in very good condition for Rs.1500/- and will change all tyres together to Primacy 5.”
