Safety made to last.
Your confident choice for everyday driving with excellent safety(1)(2) and longevity(3), keeping you and your passengers protected kilometer after kilometer.
Be safe on wet roads for longer(1)(2).
The MICHELIN Primacy 5 tire offers 4% shorter wet braking distance when new and maintains the same performance when worn compared to its predecessor(1), promoting a safer everyday drive for you and your family. It also earns Class A on wet roads in European labeling(2). Its next generation MICHELIN EverGrip and MICHELIN EverTread Technologies feature performance optimized sculpture and a new long-lasting tread pattern that helps to optimize water evacuation. This provides excellent wet braking performance from the first to the last kilometer without compromising tire longevity.
Excellent longevity(3).
Enjoy the tire longevity you need with the safety you demand. The MICHELIN Primacy 5 tire delivers 18% more mileage compared to its predecessor(3). It utilizes MaxTouch technology to maximize contact with the road and evenly distribute the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering to deliver longer tread life, without compromising safety. The new MICHELIN patented tread compound improves tire longevity and resistance to abrasion.
Also suitable for your EV.
MICHELIN Primacy 5 is also optimized to meet the specific requirements of electric vehicles. A high performance tread rubber compound engineered by MICHELIN reduces rolling resistance to improve energy consumption(4), helping to extend the EV's battery range. With improved longevity(3) and a new tread pattern design to attenuate the noise, which is much more noticeable in an EV, the MICHELIN Primacy 5 tire will enhance your driving experience and comfort.

(1) - wet braking performance - Wet braking new and worn: External tests conducted by TÜV SÜD Product Service, on Michelin's request, between 80-20 kph, in low grip conditions in July 2024, on dimension 205/55 R16 91V on VW Golf 8 (worn means when worn on machine (buffed) to the depth of Tread Wear Indicator according to European regulation: ECE R30r03f) comparing MICHELIN Primacy 5 (new: 100% - worn: 100%) versus Michelin Primacy 4+ (new: 91.4% new - worn: 99.2%).
(2) - wet braking performance - Worn means when worn on machine (buffed) to the depth of Tread Wear Indicator according to European regulation: ECE R30r03f. On new and worn 205/55 R16 91V MICHELIN Primacy 5 is above the R117 European regulation wet grip threshold.
(3) - longevity - External tests conducted by DEKRA TEST CENTER, on Michelin's request, in July 2024, on dimension 235/45 R18 98W&Y on Tesla Model 3 comparing MICHELIN Primacy 5 (100%) versus MICHELIN Primacy 4+ (82%).
(4) - fuel efficiency - Rolling Resistance tests conducted on machine by TÜV SÜD Product Service, on Michelin's request, June 2024, on dimension 205/55 R16 91V, comparing MICHELIN Primacy 5 (100%) versus Primacy 4+ (94.7%).
