MICHELIN INTRODUCES NEW PRIMACY 5 CAR TYRE.
Michelin has announced the introduction of its new Primacy 5 car and SUV tyre designed for improved lifespan, rolling resistance, comfort and noise reduction.
Suitable for combustion engine, hybrid and electric vehicles, the Primacy 5 is said by the French manufacturer to offer an increased lifespan of 18% when compared to its predecessor, Primacy 4+, equating to an approximate 7,000 km worth of additional driving.
Other improvements include enhanced braking performance by 4% on wet surfaces when new, 5% less rolling resistance, 10% increase in groove rate, and a 6% reduction in environmental impact, according to the tyre life cycle assessment (LCA).
Available now in Europe in 64 sizes, this will increase to 149 dimensions by mid-2026.
