Michelin have developed the Primacy 5 Energy to deliver outstanding efficiency, safety and comfort for everyday driving. This premium summer tyre is engineered to provide excellent wet grip, improved energy efficiency and long-lasting performance, making it an ideal choice for modern petrol, hybrid and electric vehicles.

Michelin Primacy 5 Energy tyres are available in a wide range of rim sizes, covering popular passenger car fitments to suit a variety of vehicles.

Reduced Fuel Consumption & Extended EV Range

Equipped with MICHELIN Slim Belt technology, the Primacy 5 Energy is designed to reduce rolling resistance. This contributes to lower fuel consumption for combustion vehicles and helps extend battery range for electric vehicles, while maintaining strong safety performance.

Never realised you should use special EV reinforced tyres. I had a look an the EV version of my car is 500Kg more than the ICE version. These tyres give me more confidence.

it's a lot quieter in the car, but the main advantage is the difference in fuel saving being 2-3 miles per trip, but it all adds up and by the end of the year that can be 2 full fuel tanks

These tyres are a great upgrade. Easily getting an increase of 0.3 miles per kilowatt. Noise reduction is noticeable while stopping performance has been excellent for those times some careless twst has pulled out on me at junctions. Quite a pricy tyre, but happy with the set of 4 overall thus far, only time will tell on tyre-life

These tyres give good grip on both wet and dry roads and are noticeably much quieter than the tyres they replaced, making for a more relaxing drive.
