Thanks to a new patented tread pattern, a deeper-channeled tread (+10%) allowing optimum water evacuation and the use of latest-generation functional elastomers, MICHELIN Primacy5 is A-rated according to the European standard. It increases safety by 4% on wet surfaces when new. Its increased lifespan (+18%) allows for driving for longer, approximately 7,000 km (≈ 4,350 miles) further than its predecessor, in complete safety, for both daily journeys and long family trips.
With the development of electric vehicles, noise and comfort are now factors that are ever more prized by consumers. MICHELIN Primacy5 continues the heritage of the MICHELIN Primacy ranges, integrating Michelin’s knowledge on reducing interior noise and optimizing comfort: work to design the new tread pattern, and, for each tire size, uniform positioning of the blocks and sipes, allowing the MICHELIN Primacy5 to achieve an excellent external noise and comfort level, and a reduction in interior noise.
Before being marketed, each new tire must be better performing and more efficient than its predecessor. MICHELIN Primacy5 thus improves its LCA by 6% in comparison to the previous generation, thanks in particular to the combined improvement in its lifespan (+18%) and rolling resistance (+5%).
In the desire to have all car drivers profit from its latest technological advances, all the Michelin ranges must, depending on their specifications, benefit from these innovations. MICHELIN Primacy5 is a perfect example of this. It provides a level of requirement matching that expected of a saloon or SUV, whether this is a combustion engine, hybrid, or electric vehicle, combining lifespan, torque, range, weight, noise, and better environmental respect.
The MICHELIN Primacy5 tire will be available in 88 sizes in 2025, of which 64 as of January in Europe, with a total of 127 dimensions available by mid-2026.
