Great Safe On Road SUV Tyre
Reviewing the Michelin Primacy SUV tyre 225/55R18 for our 2019 MY20 Subaru Forester 2.5i-S. Have to say that this is a very quiet and comfortable tyre on road. The feeling I have now compared to the previous generation is definitely an incremental improvement, but not one that I'd write home about. It's just a good daily drive tyre. This is not the sort of tyre for off road travels, as even with the Forester's X-Mode activated, a fair bit of slipping is evident on muddy tracks. However, during normal driving, this is a lovely quiet and comfortable tyre with predictable turn in and good confidence even on wet crappy roads at night. Very little wear evident so far. However, when pushed a little hard around corners, that's when I start to lose confidence in this tyre. But for everyday normal driving, it's a real pleasure to drive on, and very quiet as stated earlier. To be fair, the Michelin Primacy SUV tyre is aimed at comfort/touring, but again to be fair, you would need to upgrade to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV tyres to compete with the factory Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport tyres. Unfortunately for me, the Michelin PS4 SUV tyres are not available in the 225/55R18 size tyre for the Forester. Would I buy this tyre again? I'm not sure. This is a good tyre though. For normal sensible everyday driving, it excels at. It's quiet, it's comfortable, it handles okay when not pushed too hard. My dilemma is that I am a Michelin fan through and through. I won't put any other tyre brand on my vehicles. If the Michelin PS4 SUV was available in the Forester's tyre size, then yes, I would fit these tyres in a heartbeat! It's a shame they aren't available in this size though. Michelin, please make the Pilot Sport 4 SUV tyre available in the 225/55R18 tyre size for the Subaru Forester!!

Good mileage for an all-wheel drive 2.3 tonne vehicle
I'm about to fit the thrid set of Michelin Primacy SUV to a Volvo XC90 and the reasons are: excellent mileage 55,000kms for each set and a quiet ride. Breaking is as good as can be expected while in wet-weather, I drive according to the road conditions. This latest tyre replacement is a registation requirement and the tyre dealer said I'm using a tyre at the top of the market. I explained why and he agreed that all-wheel driv cars are hard on tyres.

Outstanding!
I have the "SUV" (non " ") 255/55R19 version fitted to my Audi Q7, and they are simply outstanding - extrapolated longevity 140,000km (I measure carefully every 10,000 - currently on 100,000), great grip in the wet, quiet, and comfortable. I'm a chauffeur, and these tyres are perfect for this application. I'll be fitting the " " ones when the time comes, without hesitation. 🕺
