Have insisted on Michelin tyres for over 50 years. They may be more expensive than some makes, but they outlast any others ond provide excellent grip and roadholding. My new ones are as good as ever

Michelin Primacy 5 replaced a pair of old Primacy 5s on the back of my car and a pair of newer Landsail tyres on the front. The cornering and ride immediately felt better and since then I've felt the car feels more "planted".
