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 5 215/65R16 102V XL
I have had no problems so far with my Ford Focus 1L ecoboost and after changing my worn primacy front tyres that lasted 26,000 miles, steering feels more responsive and road noise is less. Good tyres, I would recommend.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 5 215/65R16 102V XL
As expected, they are good quality tyres and I estimate they would last me about 24,000 miles.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 5 215/65R16 102V XL
The Michelin Primacy 5 215/55 R17 W (94) tyres seem more robust than the previous Michelin e-rated ones we had. They improve the handling of our e-Niro and reduce the noise from the road. We will not be looking at other tyres from now on.
