The Michelin Primacy 5 in size 245/45R18 96W is the newly released 2025 flagship premium touring tyre from Michelin. Replacing the Primacy 4+, it is designed specifically to handle the demands of modern executive sedans and electric vehicles (EVs), focusing on ultra-low road noise and class-leading longevity.

In this size, it is a primary choice for high-end commuters like the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class, Audi A6, and the Tesla Model 3.

The Michelin Primacy 5 in size 245/45R19 102W XL is the current flagship of Michelin’s "Safety Made to Last" touring range for 2026. This 19-inch size is a premium fitment for executive sedans and SUVs such as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class, and the Tesla Model 3/S.

While it replaces the Primacy 4+, the Primacy 5 has been fundamentally redesigned to bridge the gap between traditional combustion engines and the unique, high-torque requirements of Electric Vehicles (EVs).
