Safety made to last
Your choice for driving with confidence. Excellent safety(1)(2) and longevity(3), helping to keep you and your passengers protected mile after mile.
Helping you to remain safe on wet roads for longer(1)(2)
The MICHELIN Primacy 5 tyre offers 4% shorter wet braking distance when new and maintains the same performance when worn compared to its predecessor(1), promoting a safer drive for you and your family. It also earns Class A on wet roads in European labeling(2). Its next generation MICHELIN EverGrip and MICHELIN EverTread Technologies feature performance optimised sculpture and a new long-lasting tread pattern that helps to optimise water evacuation. This provides excellent wet braking performance from the first to the last mile without compromising tyre longevity(5).
Excellent longevity(3)
Enjoy the tyre longevity you need with the safety you demand. The MICHELIN Primacy 5 tyre delivers 18% more mileage compared to its predecessor(3). It utilises MaxTouch technology to maximise contact with the road and evenly distribute the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering to deliver longer tread life, without compromising safety. The new MICHELIN patented tread compound improves tyre longevity and resistance to abrasion.
Also suitable for your EV
MICHELIN Primacy 5 is also optimised to meet the specific requirements of electric vehicles. A high performance tread rubber compound engineered by MICHELIN reduces rolling resistance to improve energy consumption(4), helping to extend the EV's battery range. With improved longevity(3) and a new tread pattern design to help reduce noise, which is much more noticeable in an EV, the MICHELIN Primacy 5 will enhance your driving experience.
