Terms of publication and processing of online reviewsIs this tire suitable for EVs?
I recently had these tires installed on my EV, (Hyundia Kona). I relied on the shop to pick a very good EV suitable tire, but I'm not at all convinced that this tire is a tire suitable for an EV. EVs are heavier (as much as 25% heavier). Higher torque, and much quieter.

The primacy 4 were fitted to my Volvo xc40 on purchase and after 44k KLM I am now only replacing the two front tyres. The rear tyres have still plenty of thread depth. Never had a problem with these tyres and highly recommend.

Excellent roadholding inspires confidence. Have bought several sets for a number of cars over many years and would not buy any other make or style of tyre.

I purchased these tyres to replace the Pirelli Powergy tyres that I had used previously. Obviously the difference was was not going to be significant between the two types but, the Michelins do seem to grip even better than the Pirelli when you press into corners and the tyres do inspire confidence in the wet. I recently drove for two hours in a named storm on the motorway in torrential rain and the tyres inspired confidence and did not give any hint of aquaplaning. That said I have never had issues with the Pirelli’s in similar conditions. Where I am counting on the Michelins being better is in wear rate. The Pirellis’ Achilles Heel was a very high wear rate which is the principle reason for the change of brands, coupled with the fact that I run Michelins on other cars where again they give great service and a better wear rate. In my experience premium brand tyres will always have a higher wear rate than some of their cheaper competitors but the premium brand tyres keep you out of the hedge, ditch or side of another vehicle with their grip and wet weather performance.
