Description
Technology
Primacy 5 tyres are developed using Michelin’s latest generation tread compound combined with an advanced symmetric tread pattern designed for enhanced safety and durability. The tread includes a solid center rib that improves straight-line stability and steering precision, supported by intermediate ribs and large shoulder blocks for improved cornering grip and responsive handling.
The optimized tread structure promotes even pressure distribution across the tyre surface, resulting in uniform wear and consistent performance throughout the tyre’s life. Primacy 5 delivers strong traction, enhanced wet braking, and confident control on both dry and wet road conditions.
