215/55 16 Tire Review Highlights

Michelin Primacy 4 Plus rated 59% while driving a Ford Focus 1.5tdci (2016)
Driving on mostly motorways for 6500 average miles
Changed over Michelin P4, almost 80k before sliding started. The NEW P4+ is softer hushed maybe rain tire but already slippery on dry!? Had MOT and depth lost is significant for highway drive.
tire reviewed on 2024-09-15 00:35:11
Matador Hectorra 5 rated 91% while driving a Volkswagen Passat 2.0TDI
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
Amazing tires for 93€ per tire they don't slip hold well on dry and wet very good aquaplaning resistance they make little noise on some type of roads not all and catch stones between the treads very often overall best budget tire for now

Michelin Primacy 4 rated 54% while driving a Volkswagen Passat 1.4 tsi B7 122 BHP
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
I fitted the Primacy 4 after using the Bridgestone ER300. It lasted for around 3 years before I replaced the primacy 4 with the Kumho HS52.
The reason I chose this Michelin is because of all the good reviews online.
The Primacy 4 from the moment I drove from the tire shop, they felt slippery and floaty which is not really what you want from a new tire. These tires always slipped under hard acceleration and they never stopped slipping. My car is only a 1.4 TSI with 122BHP so nothing really powerful, yet the primacy 4 is just that bad in dry grip.
On the highway, It was comfortable and quiet (quieter than the ER300 I had before) but on worn highways where there are some dips in the surface, the car would just feel floaty and does not make me feel confident.
In the wet they were good, However, I live in a hot and dry climate and I rarely care about wet performance for a tire.
If you notice, all online reviews focus on wet performance and very little on dry performance. This turns out to be the reason why the primacy 4 are well regarded online.
For comfort however, these are quite comfortable and make speed humps seem smoother than other tires. But at what cost? I would choose dry grip over comfort any day.
For braking, dry braking was about average, not impressive for a new over priced Michelin. Wet braking was good.
For Wear, the tires lasted for just over 3 years and have done about 33,000 km, The thing is, I have never replaced tires because they are worn to the limit. Where I live, all tires dry rot way before ever wearing down. So all the good wear performance mean nothing for me when choosing a new tire, unless they start testing new tires for dry rot maybe!

So in conclusion, for my use and the climate here, Wear performance mean nothing, wet performance mean very little (If it is pouring down, I would just choose not to drive anyway). Comfort was good. Road feedback was average but the Passat B7 does not provide that much feedback either. Dry grip was just not good at all, always slipping under high acceleration and dry braking was above average.

I have replaced the primacy 4 with the Kumho HS52. In comparison, the HS52 has much better dry grip, they actually feel like new tires, they are less comfortable that the primacy 4 but I would choose dry grip over comfort. For wet grip, I haven't tested it but I live in hot dry weather anyway, so rarely do we have rain so don't care that much.

To describe the primacy 4 in short sentences:
Does not grip well in the dry at all. feels slippery
Feels floaty and does not induce confidence.
Very good in the wet.
Comfortable and quiet.

Would not buy again, even if they were cheap.

Avon ZV7 rated 50% while driving a Citroën berlingo
Driving on mostly town for 9000 average miles
Second lot of 4 Avon ZV7 tires, as with my previous tires all 4 developed cracking in tread wells around entire tread and the off side front tire developed a single crack across the entire tread but not the sidewalls at all. Contacted DVSA by filling in online form , they need more evidence e.g. photographs ,actual tires and more complaints to take further action.

Absolutely shocking of a tire however it was a company vehicle... wet weather grip is virtually non existent - even in a Hyundai iload van with the traction control system on.

Sumitomo BC100 rated 73% while driving a Ford Mondeo TDCI
Driving on a combination of roads for 13000 easy going miles
When I purchased this brand of tire I thought it was mid range which was a step up from a budget tire. However, the tires have only lasted just over 12 months (14 months). I'm thinking they should have lasted a bit longer. I could therefore purchase a budget tire at less cost because that would last 12 months before changing.

Kumho Solus 4S HA32 rated 79% while driving a Peugeot Partner Teepee (2010)
Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 average miles
Overall good impression of these, decent quality tires for a fair price, considering these are all-weather & XL load rated.

Bought a Peugeot Partner Teepee with 3 cheap/mid-range tires & 1 old Michelin (with cracking Sidewall ). On inspection, there were deep cracks running along the tread grooves on one of the cheap tires, so it was clear that this had to be replaced along with the Michelin.

I decided to stick the two new tires on the back to preserve their life, and run down the two old tires on the front.

Did a lot of driving around UK and a two thousand mile road trip to Europe - tires performed faultlessly up to 150km/h on German Autobahn, and in temperatures up to 38.

Ride is a bit bouncy (it's a French car!), and there's a bit of booming from the rear, but this is probably down to a van-derived design & lack of sound-proofing in rear. Handling is spot on, it's well controlled on bends & roundabouts, and the rear is always well placed. Wet performance is reliable, having driven at speed along country lanes in pouring rain, without any problems, though had a few aqua-planing incidents on Motorway in very heavy rain recently - on inspection this was due to one of the front tires being worn close to the limit.

Highly recommended, will be fitting two more Kumhos on the front this year.

Tires was OK but just at it's 8th month started to crack all over. Turkey very hot place and I think this tire not suits here.

Avon ZV7 rated 59% while driving a Ford Mondeo 2.0 ~TDCi Business Ed.
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
Seemingly good tire, let down by premature cracking around the longitudinal grooves.

I have these on a Mondeo, so not the most demanding car. I have checked pressures fairly regularly and never found them along way off the recommended values, but still within a couple of years have found them to be cracking really quite badly along the tire grooves, to the extent that the carcass is visible at the bottom of the cracks.

The tires are less than 3 years old, so age shouldn't really be a problem.

Having to replace these when they are less than half worn - so not best pleased. It looks as though I'm not alone if you check in the various motoring forums.
