Michelin Primacy 5 (235/55R18 104W XL)

“Luxury Redefined for the Electric Age.” 2026’s Benchmark for Silence and Range.

The Primacy 5 was engineered with a “Double-Green” philosophy: maximizing the battery range of EVs while ensuring the lowest possible environmental impact through industry-leading tread life.

✨ Key 2026 Technical Features

• 🔇 Silent Rib Gen-3 Technology:

  Michelin’s latest vibration-cancelling tread design is specifically tuned to eliminate high-frequency road roar. It is currently ranked #1 in Silence and Comfort, providing a hushed interior that is essential for luxury hybrids and EVs.

• 📏 18% Mileage Gain over Primacy 4+:

  Utilizing MaxTouch 2.0 technology, the tyre footprint is optimized to distribute pressure evenly during acceleration and heavy SUV braking. This results in an average of 7,000 km more life than its predecessor.

• 🌧️ EverGrip & EverTread Safety:

  The tyre maintains its Class A Wet Grip rating even as it wears down. The grooves are designed to widen as the rubber disappears, ensuring that wet braking performance at the “last mile” is almost as effective as when the tyre was brand new.

• ⚡ 13% Reduction in Rolling Resistance:

  By using a next-generation “Energy Passive” compound, the Primacy 5 helps ICE vehicles save fuel and allows EVs to travel up to 30 km further on a single charge compared to standard touring tyres.

• 💎 Full-Ring Premium Touch Sidewall:

  The entire 360-degree sidewall features a laser-engraved velvet texture. This gives the tyre a deep, matte-black aesthetic that perfectly complements the high-end finish of modern luxury SUVs.
