Michelin Primacy 5 vs e.Primacy

Goodyear vs Pirelli

As of 2025, Michelin are the world’s leading tyre brand, renowned for over 100 years of tyre innovation.

Their expertise spans diverse vehicle types, with a particular emphasis on cutting-edge technologies.

Michelin's commitment to research and development ensures superior grip, safety, and fuel efficiency. This dedication is evident in their popular summer tyre lines.

The Primacy series has become a go-to for drivers seeking high quality and comfort, showcasing Michelin's ability to blend performance and longevity.

Notably, the Primacy 5 and e.Primacy models represent the forefront of their summer tyre range.

The Primacy 5, an all-new flagship summer tyre, boasts exceptional performance and refinement.

Meanwhile, the e.Primacy stands out with its focus on sustainability and efficiency, catering to the growing electric and hybrid vehicle market.

This article will compare both the Primacy 5 and e.Primacy by outlining key features of the two summer tyre models.

Primacy 5 Overview

The newly launched Michelin Primacy 5, debuting globally in 2025, is set to redefine performance standards within its class of summer tyres.

This tyre achieves an 18% increase in potential mileage, alongside a 4% reduction in wet braking distance when brand new.

The Primacy 5 features Michelin’s innovative EverGrip and EverTread technologies. These advancements collectively enhance the tyre's longevity and its ability to effectively evacuate water.

Michelin's MaxTouch Construction further optimizes the tyre's contact patch with the road, directly resulting in improved handling capabilities during high speeds, braking, and cornering.

Given the strong legacy of previous Primacy generations, it is widely expected that the Primacy 5 will quickly become one of Michelin’s most successful and sought-after tyre models for years to come.

e.Primacy Overview

The Michelin e.Primacy is also a summer tyre model, but is engineered more towards hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as low fuel consumption vehicles.

Michelin’s flagship EV tyre is designed with an innovative compound that features elastomer-filler coupling, contributing to a reduction in energy loss, which lowers rolling resistance of the tyre. This results in reduced fuel or electricity demand, and can boost EV battery range by around 7% versus its key rivals.

An extended battery range is achieved in this generation of tyre, with the e.Primacy having a 7% increase in range performance. This equates to an estimated additional 18 miles across a 350 mile range.

EnergyAirShield Compound and CoolRunning Sidewall technologies reduce energy loss and absorption during flexing, enabling efficient and stress-free driving.

The Michelin e.Primacy has been chosen as an OE tyre for car models such as the Mercedes-Benz EQA and Peugeot 208.
