Top 3 Michelin Primacy 5 Energy Reviews

Initial Impressions Review
Given 97% while driving a Tesla Model S (245/45 R19) on for 1,000 miles
Having not long brought my Tesla Model S that was fitted with Budget tyres. Run flats that made the card lack comfort and stability when driving. I immediately found the car handled far better in all weather conditions. (Not driven in snow or icy conditions yet.)
The tyres have made the driving experience much more enjoyable and comfortable. I will update in 10000 miles.

These are simply the best tyres I've put on any of my cars, and I'm being very, very picky just about anything I put on my car!

I've been using Goodyears mostly, now Michelin Primacy 5 Energy blew my mind, seriously.
The tyre is so comfortable, quiet and predictable that it feels like your car has just been upgraded to the next tier.

After putting these on instead of my winters (Goodyear Performance 3), I felt I won't drive home just now, I want to drive a bit more - that's the feeling! And I enjoyed it so much.

Now, I wouldn't say it's a downside for me, definitely not, I sometimes drive fast, but most of the time just cruising, the feel is not sporty, it's rather like a quality casual running shoe (comfy and can be used anywhere you want (except the ice/snow, haha)), it delivers in any aspect, but it's not a sport tyre obviously.
With that said, I can recommend it to anyone, who's driving style is ~30% sporty and ~70% normal/touring.
If you want to race - race, you can do it, no worries, but the tyre will convince you to drive nicely because it's just made for that.

These are premium tires with the highest ratings in basically everything. I mainly value comfort with quiet tires and good wet properties. I don't have "aggressive" driving. I have increased the tire pressure to 2.9 - 3.0 but it is not felt when driving. Highly recommended.

Initial Impressions Review
Given 60% while driving a Lexus (255/50 R20) on for 1,000 miles
I expected a super quite, comfortable and fuel efficient tyre. The tyre is indeed quite and super fuel efficient. My average got fuel consumption got improved by 1,5km on a liter. The comfort however, on slik adphalt it is, But the imperfections are not filtered and my interior rattles more than my Bridgestone Winter tyre. I’ve lowered the fuel pressure but it did not improve. I’m a bit puzzled why the road feedback is so hard on the little imperfections. Perhaps it is the hard compound focus on fuel saving.

Given 100% while driving a Hyundai Kona electric (215/55 R17) on for 200 miles
I just got them and I did a few short trips (300km). Quietest tyres I've tested at 120km/s, which is my preferred highway speed. They absorb bumps on the road exceptionally well. Efficiency is as advertised - I can get 10-11 kWh/100km driving in the city, which is way better then my old Primacy 3 + Vredestein Ultrac+ combo.
