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 215/55R18 99V XL
I've only done about 1600 miles with these tyres and they've made me feel more safe already. Plus, they should give slightly more mileage than the Pirelli's I had before and the Yokohama's I temporarily used on the rear. The only downside is that they don't self seal, so I ended up buying a spray can as backup.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 5 Energy 215/55R18 99V XL
Visually, the tyres are great, but they can be very noisy on the motorway and the ride is hard, and I was disappointed to find that they arrived with only 7mm of tread depth when new!
