Let's take a look at two summer tyres that have made a remarkable impact in the tyre industry - Michelin Primacy 4 and Nokian Wetproof SUV. These tyres were rigorously tested by our expert team under various conditions and settings - and here's what we found.
The Michelin Primacy 4, a product of Michelin, a renowned French tyre manufacturer, is known for its durability and long-lasting performance. Previous Michelin models like Primacy 3 have paved the path for this fantastic tyre. This tyre sports excellent rolling resistance and exceptional dry braking - consistently placing it as first and second in test results. It is indeed a superior touring tyre with our rating of 82%. However, you may want to check out the Michelin Primacy 4+, its newer model, which is expected to inherit the great features of Primacy 4 and introduce even more.
Moving on, we have the Nokian Wetproof SUV, an innovation of Nokian, a trusted name in tyre technology. Wetproof SUV stands out with its grass and gravel traction. Although it's not on par with Michelin Primacy 4 in tests, holding the 5th position in most, it's certainly a good quality summer tyre with an overall rating of 51%. If you are considering upgrading, the Nokian WetProof 1 is the newer model that has replaced this tyre.
In sum, the Michelin Primacy 4 is the clear winner in the comparison. Its superior dry braking performance and rolling resistance, coupled with great overall scores, make it a reliable choice for many driving scenarios. The Nokian Wetproof SUV, while not on par with the Primacy 4, still has its strengths, particularly when it comes to grass and gravel traction. Both tyres have proven to be excellent choices and will largely depend on your specific driving requirements. Always be sure to check out the latest models for the best in tyre technology.
