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 5 225/55R19 99V
Comfort was the most important factor in my decision. I drive a Volvo V60 D4 with the R-Design suspension, which can be a bit on the rough side. I've found the Primacy 5s to deliver a more cushioned experience than the Goodyear Eagle F1 ASY6s that I had previously. As for grip, it has been decent thus far but again, I have not yet put them through a winter.

Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 5 225/55R19 99V
The tyres are working fine up to this point. However, I had the same ones before and after about 12,000 miles, I ended up with punctures and even cuts that caused them to fail the MoT and that was a bit disappointing.
