Michelin Primacy 5

Just got the new Primacy 5s installed. Big upgrade from the stock Nexen N’Fera Sport tires on my Audi A3! Much more comfortable, quieter and just overall more premium-feeling.

Absolutely fantastic tires with extremely low rolling resistance yet still excellent grip. It practically powers our Volvo V70 through fast corners, and on the highway, it reduces fuel consumption by about 0.5 liters per 100km compared to the previously fitted Premacy 4 tires, which were showing their age (10+ years old).

Recently changed from primacy 3 to 5s. I was always satisfied with the 3s but the 5s really are a step up. The ride feel and roll resistance are excellent. My fuel consumption has definitely improved. I can't comment on it's wet weather performance yet (it's currently a bit dry in Australia) but it feels sure footed in the dry. It definitely feels like a premium tire

These are not quite tires! My winter tires (Goodyear Ultragrip 3) are quieter than those, my previous summer tires (Kleber Dynaxer HP4) are quieter than those. The only reason I choose to buy these Michelins, was because I was looking for quite tire, but they are not, average at best, so I am very disappointed in them.

Month ago mounted on my Mazda cx-3 2.0 skyactive G. Very comfortable comparing with old toyo proxes R40. 0,5l/100km less fuel consumption in first 500km. Not noisy at all, safe and predictable while driving. Recomendation.

Drove these tires on my first 50 miles journey and i can tell you for sure these are very silent tires, maybe the most silwnt i drove. These tires are designed for comfortable and silent driving on the highway. The response to wheel turning is slow and my civic X feels completely different compared to previous Pirelly powergy tires i had. Those Powergy tires offered a feeling of security at high speed due to better responsiveness to turning but were considerably louder. I am happy with with Michelin Primacy 5 anyway because now my car feels like a premium car due to silence and comfort they offer. Anyway i don't really need that much responsiveness because i mainly commute from point A to B which doesn't really demand a lot of high speed handling. For those who prioritise sharp response while handling these tires might not be suitable . The sidewall is soft. Before deciding you should think if you really need sporty tires. Once again - these tires are the most silent i ever drove. Will come with additional impressions after driving more.

I’ve had primacy 4 on my Honda previous to the primacy 5. I can confirm these tires are not as good as the other tires as these have road noise.
I’ve had them on for about 400 klms and will be returning to the tire shop to have them returned. Other than the tire noise they are ok in other areas.
Hope this helps others looking for comparisons.

On my Lynk & Co 06, I replaced the Giti P10 tires on the front axle after nearly 30,000 kilometers due to deteriorating comfort and increased noise. I switched to the latest Michelin Primacy 5, hoping to maintain a comfortable driving experience. The Primacy 5 costs twice as much as the Giti P10. However, to my great disappointment, the Primacy 5 does not offer a better noise experience than the new Giti P10. Even worse, during the first 2,000 kilometers, the Primacy 5 always had vibrations that affected the steering wheel feel, which was bother me every day . After 2,000 kilometers, this issue lessened but did not disappear completely. The dry grip and cornering performance give me absolutely no confidence; this is a world of difference compared to the Giti P10. Moreover, the body roll has increased, significantly affecting my driving confidence. For this expensive price, it did not bring a better comfort or driving experience. I think this is a failed replacement experience. I am already looking for a more balanced tire, hoping to replace the Primacy 5 as soon as possible

Very comfortable tire, quiet, good wet grip, good wet braking. The standout really is the ride comfort.

My car is a Focus. I replaced the tires with Michelin Primacy 5. I'm not mentioning the brand of the tires I removed to avoid disrespecting other brands. My car feels like it had a reverse chain that broke. The car is so much smoother, it glides on the road, it's so quiet and soft, even the steering feels lighter. I'm very happy with it. Anyone thinking about buying tires can buy them without hesitation.

The Michelin Primacy 5 is an exceptionally comfortable and quiet daily tire that excels at soaking up bumps while maintaining impressively low noise levels over time. It offers great efficiency through low rolling resistance and proves highly durable, showing only ~1mm of wear at its current mileage. While it is a safe and reliable choice for the commute, the highly isolated road feel—while excellent for cabin refinement—means it lacks the confidence and precision required for fast cornering or dynamic lane changes.

A serious upgrade compared to Dunlop sport bluresponse

Initial impressions are very good, a bit noisy rolling but absorbing bumps very good. Grip is superb, both wet and dry.

Dry Grip:
Very good to excellent, even when driving spiritedly on twisty roads.

Wet Grip:
Very good straight-line aquaplaning resistance. On twisty roads at average to spirited speeds, they make that “I’m losing grip” noise, but they actually don’t slip at all. Still, the sound makes me feel a bit insecure, so I tend to lower the speed.

Noise:
Compared to the OEM Falken SN832B they replaced, they are one level noisier in town, but it’s a premium, low-pitch noise that you get used to over time. However, they really impressed me with how quiet they are on the highway! I think these tires are primarily made for cruising. I don’t think there is a quieter tire above 120 km/h on the market — the only thing you hear is aerodynamic noise.
Keep in mind my car is a latest-generation full hybrid, so it’s very quiet and even minor tire noise is noticeable.

Comfort:
My previous tires were soft. The Primacy 5 are a bit firmer, BUT the way they absorb imperfections and the overall driving feel at the end of the day is actually more comfortable and pleasant than before. I don’t know how the engineers managed it, but they succeeded — I think they really shine in this segment and might be the most comfortable tire on the market.

Wear:
They’re made to last 50,000+ km, so after just 5,000 km they show almost no wear. That said, be patient and give them 2,000–3,000 km to show their virtues. I keep the manufacturer’s recommended pressures, which seem to work perfectly for the car and for my preference as well: 2.5 bar front, 2.4 bar rear.

These are easily the best summer wheels I've driven in my whole life. Much better than the previous Continental Premium Contact 6 which started to hum loudly at speeds faster than 60 km/h. Can't really understand some of the negative reviews for the same size and vehicle model.
Very easy driving, low noise and good rolling resistance. Stable on wet conditions, and haven't experienced any skidding. Durability have to be accessed later but so far no problems.
I've driven so far 11,000 miles on nordic roads of variable conditions consisting of smaller communal roads, highways, towns etc. Road feedback seems nearly perfect to me.
