Is the Primacy Tour A/S quiet?
Yes. Michelin says it is the quietest tread pattern compared with leading competitors, based on Michelin's cabin noise tests in the US, using PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning technology to cut noise.
What do A/S and M+S mean, and can I use it in Thailand?
Yes, you can. Michelin Thailand sells this model and lists it among its summer tires. A/S stands for All-Season, a tire designed for use in every season, and M+S (Mud and Snow) is a marking for tires that can grip in mud and snow.
