Product description & features

  • Unique tread compound for improved traction in wet and dry conditions
  • Specially designed tread pattern for a reliable and comfortable ride
  • Plus the excellence of MICHELIN tyres in longevity and fuel saving

The Michelin Primacy 3 is a high performance tyre designed to enhance fuel efficiency and deliver better braking.

Michelin have awarded the Primacy 3 with their Green X badge - a symbol that the tyre has met their exacting standards for low rolling resistance.

The tyre feature a new generation tread compound and is constructed with a symmetric tread pattern.

The Primacy 3 is designed with a central rib and large shoulder blocks - this combination helps to ensure drivers enjoy responsive handling and a stable performance from the tyre, even at high speeds.

Inside the carcass of the Primacy 3, Michelin have used twin steel belts to better reinforce the integrity of the tyre - aiding in a balanced ride quality and  long life performance.

Primacy 3 tyres are available in 16 inch, 17 inch, 18 inch and 19 inch rim tyre sizes.

Good Wet Performance

Michelin's use of an auto-blocking sipe technology in the makeup of the Primacy 3, with a unique and patented rubber compound, helps to deliver you with a good performance on wet roads. 

High Longevity

The Primacy 3 delivers a durable performance with a high level of longevity. This is thanks to Michelin's use of an abrasion resistant tread compound, alongside an optimised contact path. These work to evenly distribute the tyre's pressure evenly and reduce the levels of heat that builds up when driving. For more mileage and a longer lifespan.

  • Passenger car tyres

Please note: before you select your tyres, ensure that the tyre size that you intend to order are the correct variant and matches your vehicle type.
