Product description & features

The Michelin Primacy 5 Energy is a summer tyre with features for passenger cars, designed to reduce rolling resistance. Michelin's Energy Passive Compound is a blend of rubber and materials that reduce tyre rolling resistance by minimising energy loss as heat. EvertGrip Technologies aid in tyre drainage as the surface wear through the use of tread patterns and water-clearing channels. Compared to the Primacy 4+, the Primacy 5 Energy can clear 50% more water.

Primacy 5 Energy has Michelin's Silent Rib Gen 3 technology, which shapes the ribs of the tyre to reduce the noise and the air turbulence created when the tread ribs make contact with the road. Compared to the Primacy 4+, the Primacy 5 Energy reduces rolling resistance by 5%. Michelin also produces a reinforced, higher load version of the Primacy 5 Energy, which is denoted by the sidewall marking XL. You can conveniently purchase the Michelin Primacy 5 Energy at Tyres.co.uk.

  • Summer tyre for passenger cars

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 5 Energy 215/50R18 96W XL
Avoiding a definitive viewpoint is understandable and speak for themselves, they appear to be quiet and handle well in the wet. Good fuel economy was achieved on a long journey with the 1.5tsi SUV reaching 60mpg.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 5 Energy 215/50R18 96W XL
I chose these tyres as I liked the Primacy 4+ that I had tried on another car. Since these are fitted to the back of the car, I can't comment too much on the handling, but after 2000 miles, they are still tracking well and gripping the road. There is no wear to be seen yet. What is Refreshingly fuel efficiency improved with these tyres. Just by changing two I have seen a gain of 1-3 miles per gallon! The biggest positive is the noise reduction of the tyres. My car doesn't have a rear parcel shelf, so noise enters the cabin easily, but these tyres have made it a lot better. They aren't the cheapest tyres but they are worth it. I will be buying the same ones for the front when they need changing. Booking and paying through Tyres.co.uk was easy, and the garage that fitted them was great and very helpful.
