Product description & features

The Primacy 5 is a summer tyre from Michelin that uses EverGrip Technologies to maintain performance for short stopping distances in the rain, even as the tyre wears. The Primacy 5 also uses an improved design for its grooves that are parallel to the direction of travel. They are 2.4mm wider than the grooves on the Primacy 4+, allowing even more space to redirect water. Michelin even designed a new rubber compound to maintain performance in the rain throughout the life of the tyre. The design of the tread helps the tyre wear evenly.

With the introduction of the Primacy 5, Michelin retires the Primacy 4+. The Primacy 5 will give drivers even more distance, up to 18% more, on the same set of tyres. The Primacy 5 will also perform even better in the rain with stopping distances up to 4% shorter when new, and 6% when worn. The Primacy 5 is available with XL construction that Michelin reinforces to help it carry heavier loads. All of the variants, including the reinforced XL, of the Michelin Primacy 5, are for sale at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Wider water-clearing grooves
  • Even tread wear design
  • New rain-performance rubber compound

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 5 215/60R16 99H XL
Happy about the feeling of balance and low noise on the road. I have bought Michelin tyres before and they have shown to last a long time and wear evenly.

The Primacy 5 tyres have improved grip and noise reduction over the Primacy 4 tyres, and their handling is also better. These tyres are now more suited to my needs.

These tyres are an upgrade from the original ones that came with my car. They give more traction to the road and create less noise.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 5 215/60R16 99H XL
I choose Michelin largely due to their reputation for being a high-end brand and the quality they offer, along with a greater lifespan than some more economical alternatives.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 5 215/60R16 99H XL
The Michelin Primacy HP gave me 31,000 miles, but they don't make that size anymore. The Primacy 5 is the closest tyre by Michelin, so hopefully, it's just as good.
