✨ Key 2026 Performance Technologies

• 🔇 Acoustic T2 Technology:

  Electric vehicles lack engine noise, making tyre roar more noticeable. The Acoustic T2 system features a specialized polyurethane foam liner bonded to the inside of the tyre. This absorbs air resonance and vibrations, reducing internal cabin noise by up to 20% for a truly serene drive.

• 🔋 Range Maximization (Energy Passive Compound):

  The e-Primacy features a high-elasticity compound that reduces energy dissipation as the tyre rolls. For EV owners, this can translate to an increase in battery range of up to 7%, significantly reducing “range anxiety” during long trips.

• 🌧️ EverGrip Technology:

  Even with its focus on efficiency, the e-Primacy does not compromise on safety. Its U-shape grooves and specialized rubber compound ensure that water is evacuated efficiently, maintaining a Class A/B Wet Grip rating even as the tyre wears down.

• 📏 MaxTouch Construction:

  This technology optimizes the tyre’s contact patch to distribute the forces of acceleration and braking more evenly. This leads to uniform tread wear and a longer total lifespan, providing excellent long-term value.

• 🛡️ Reinforced XL Sidewall:

  With a 98 load index, the tyre is built to handle the heavy battery weight of modern EVs without deforming, ensuring precise handling and rim protection.
