Description

Michelin Primacy 4+ (225/45R18 95W XL EU Y22)

“Safety Made to Last.” The Benchmark for Wet-Weather Confidence.

While it looks identical to the standard Primacy 4, the “Plus” model features a fundamentally re-engineered internal rubber compound. It was specifically designed to maintain elite braking performance on wet roads even as the tread wears down, addressing the safety concerns of “end-of-life” tyres.

✨ Key Technical Features

• 🛡️ EverGrip Technology (Enhanced):

  The Primacy 4+ utilizes a self-ever-changing tread compound. As the tyre wears, new grooves emerge and the compound maintains its flexibility, ensuring that its Class-A wet grip remains consistent from the first day until the legal wear limit (1.6mm).

• 🛣️ MaxTouch Construction:

  This technology maximizes the tyre’s contact with the road and evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, braking, and cornering. This leads to extended tread life, allowing you to get more kilometers out of the set compared to its predecessor.

• 🔇 Silent-Rib Technology:

  Like the 4ST (Silent Tread) variant, the Primacy 4+ features a tread pattern with “interlocking” ribs that reduce the vibration of air as it passes through the grooves. This results in a refined, quiet cabin experience that masks road roar on the PIE or KPE.

• 🌧️ Elite Aquaplaning Control:

  The 4+ is specifically praised in 2026 reviews for its superior lateral grip in deep water. This provides a massive safety buffer when driving through the heavy “ponding” often found on Singaporean expressways during afternoon monsoons.

• 💪 Reinforced XL Structure:

  The Extra Load (XL) rating ensures a stiffer, more durable sidewall. This is essential for the heavier weight of modern executive sedans and provides a sharper, more stable steering feel during spirited cornering.

📊 Performance Summary

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Elite Class-A braking, even when worn)

• Road Noise: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Industry-leading cabin silence)

• Longevity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Excellent mileage for a premium tyre)

• Ride Comfort: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Refined, “cushioned” Michelin feel)

The Michelin Primacy 4+ is the definitive “safety-first” choice. It is the best option for your 3 Series or C-Class if you want the absolute highest level of wet-weather protection for your family, combined with the signature silent and comfortable ride that Michelin is famous for.
