Product description & features

• Safety on wet roads
• Excellent longevity
• Suitable for EVs

Enjoy a premium driving experience with tyres that you can rely on - mile after mile.

The Michelin Primacy 5 tyre has been developed to deliver a safe and reliable performance. With the use of Michelin's next-generation EverGrip Technology and MaxTouch technology, the Primacy 5 delivers excellent wet braking and excellent longevity.

The Primacy 5 tyres are available in 16 inch, 17 inch, 18 inch, and 19 inch rim tyre sizes.

Excellent Longevity

In external tests that were run by the Dekra Test Centre on a Tesla Model 3 with the tyre size 235/45 R18, the Primacy 5 delivered 18% more mileage compared to its predecessor, the Primacy 4+.

Michelin has used their MaxTouch technology in the new Primacy 5 tyre to increase the contact between the tyre and the road. This helps to evenly spread the forces encountered when driving, such as acceleration, braking, and cornering.

A new patented tread compound works to maximise the tyre's longevity.

Suitable for EVs

The Michelin Primacy 5 features a rubber compound specially developed to reduce rolling resistance.

This works to help extend the battery range of an EV, as less energy is required when moving.

The tyre's new tread pattern reduces noise levels, an important comfort factor for EV owners.

Safety on Wet Roads

The Michelin Primacy 5 delivers 4% shorter wet braking distances when worn compared to its predecessor.

The tyre's tread pattern has been designed to remove water from the path of the tyre quickly. This provides excellent wet braking performance and reduces the risk of aquaplaning.
