Product description & features

The Michelin Primacy 3 is a summer touring tyre designed for long-distance driving. Primacy 3 features a self-locking tread design and AutoBlock technology. AutoBlock technology incorporates razor-thin slits that lock under load. During braking and cornering, the slits limit movement of the tread rubber. The Primacy 3 incorporates bevelled edges that break the water film at the groove surface before it contacts the road. Michelin’s tread rubber incorporates a unique combination of silica and plasticisers, to balance dry and wet grip throughout the service life of the tyre.

The Michelin Primacy 4 succeeded the Primacy 3. The tyre also comes in a run-flat version. The run-flat version allows for a 50 miles range at 50 mph under certain conditions set out by Michelin. At Tyres.co.uk, we stock the Michelin Primacy 3, including run-flat versions.

Highlights

  • Self-locking tread design
  • Bevelled edges break water film
  • Run-flat version available

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 3 205/55R17 95V XL
It is a strong performing wet weather tyre. It grips the surface and I've experienced no issues while driving with them. The tyre noise is hardly noticeable and they have shown very little wear!
