Key benefits for Michelin Primacy 5 tyre
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).
