Description

Michelin e-Primacy (215/50R17 95W XL)

“Eco-Responsible, Made to Last.” The Range-Extender Specialist.

The e-Primacy holds the distinction of having the lowest rolling resistance in its category. For EV drivers in 2026, it is often the preferred choice to counteract “range anxiety” while maintaining the premium comfort Michelin is known for.

✨ Key Technical Features

• ⚡ Range & Efficiency Mastery:

  Utilizing the Energy Passive Compound, Michelin reduced energy dissipation throughout the tyre’s structure. For an EV with a 400 km range, switching to the e-Primacy can provide up to 30 km of additional range (approx. 7% improvement) compared to standard tyres.

• 📏 MaxTouch Construction:

  This technology optimizes the tyre’s contact patch to distribute forces evenly during acceleration, braking, and cornering. This ensures the tread wears slowly and uniformly, leading to exceptional longevity despite the high torque of electric motors.

• 🌧️ EverGrip Technology:

  The e-Primacy features a specialized U-shaped groove design that stays effective even as the tyre wears down. It is engineered to pass European wet-braking tests even when worn near the legal limit, ensuring safety from the first to the last kilometer.

• 🔇 e-Primacy Acoustic Profile:

  Electric vehicles lack engine noise, making tyre “drone” more noticeable. The e-Primacy is designed with a specific pitch sequence to minimize rolling noise (71dB), ensuring a whisper-quiet cabin environment.

• 🛡️ Slim Belt Design:

  By using high-strength but thinner steel belts, Michelin reduced the tyre’s weight and raw material usage. This not only improves fuel economy but also makes the tyre more environmentally friendly to manufacture and recycle.
