Description Michelin Primacy 4+
The summer tire Michelin Primacy 4+ is suitable for most popular passenger cars due to its extensive size range. It is characterized by improved grip on wet surfaces, braking efficiency throughout its lifespan, fuel efficiency, and high mileage.
Safety on wet roads
The asymmetrical tread pattern is distinguished by an increased volume of drainage grooves. Compared to the previous model, they hold almost a quarter more water, which reduces the risk of aquaplaning. This is noticeable during operation. A significant part of the increase in groove volume occurs when the remaining wear of the tread is 2 mm.
Modified rubber compound composition
The key difference between the 4+ model and the regular "fourth" is the composition of the rubber compound. It has been significantly changed, which has improved the driving properties on wet surfaces and increased the tire's mileage. This is still a rubber compound with a high silica content and a package of special polymers. As a result, the tread remains elastic at low temperatures and resistant to abrasive wear, punctures, and tears.
Wear indicator
The tread contains special indicators that allow you to fairly accurately determine the moment of tire replacement. Unlike similar solutions from other brands, they are located not only in the central part but also on the edges of the tread. This makes it possible to accurately determine the axis and side of tire installation, which significantly increases its mileage.
Main features of Michelin Primacy 4+
- The increased volume of drainage grooves reduces to a minimum the risk of forming a continuous water film between the tire and the road surface, especially with strong tread wear;
- The optimized composition of the rubber compound improves grip on wet surfaces, increases resistance to abrasive wear;
- Wear indicators in the shoulder areas allow you to determine not only the moment of tire replacement but also the place of its further installation when switching from winter to summer tires.
