✨ Key 2026 Performance Technologies

• 🔋 Energy Passive Compound:

  This high-elasticity filler reduces energy dissipation (heat loss) as the tyre rotates. For Electric Vehicle (EV) owners, this translates to an increased battery range of up to 7%, or roughly 30–40 km per full charge.

• 📏 MaxTouch Construction:

  Modern EVs and luxury SUVs are heavy and deliver instant torque. This technology optimizes the contact patch to distribute forces evenly, preventing the uneven wear often seen in high-torque vehicles and extending the tyre’s life significantly.

• 🔇 CoolRunning Sidewall:

  The sidewalls are engineered to absorb less energy during flexion. This not only improves efficiency but also provides a supple, plush ride quality that filters out road imperfections—a perfect match for the quiet cabins of luxury cars.

• 🌧️ EverGrip Technology:

  Despite its focus on fuel saving, the e.Primacy maintains consistent safety. Its U-shape groove design ensures that water evacuation remains high even when the tread is worn, maintaining its Class B wet braking performance until the legal wear limit.

• 🏎️ Reinforced 101Y XL Rating:

  In this 18-inch size, the Extra Load (XL) rating and Y speed rating mean the tyre has a very strong internal structure. It can handle heavy passenger loads and sustained highway speeds without compromising stability.
