235/50 18 101Y. Needed a 97W but it was not available. Falls short in shock absorption because the soft part of the tyre wall is just a thin band and, possibly, the shoulder is too stiff. Michelin are no longer offering a tyre designed for safety (ie. Comfort, ie. Low driver fatigue. I therefore did not order these tyres. I am not sure what use a few centimeters shorter breaking distace will be - or being able to corner at speeds I will never corner at - if I and my family endvup wrapped around a tree due to a fatigue induced driver error. (Michellin did not even think comfort was important enough to ask people about in the star ratings below)
Good quality tyre
I love Michelin products. Having experimented with other premium car tyres, or purchased a car with different brands fitted, there are no tyres superior to Michelin Primacy 4 for combination of grip with longevity.
I've been driving for 43 years and have NEVER bought Michelin tyres. Why? cost, however, having bought a car with and used two sets of Michelin I can categorically say the cost works out to be better value for money because they last much much longer, twice as long! So you simply buy less of them and save money. I'll never use another brand as long as they give outstanding mileage!
I have used MICHELIN PRIMACY 4 tyre for the last 14 years. They are utterly faultless reliable in terms of robust grip and stopping distances even when driving in the wet. I entrust mine and my families lives to a tyre I know is durable and is the only thing between me and the road and a tyre that has never failed my expectations even with extra car load capability. There is no other tyre I would use or trust.
