Description
Technology
Primacy 5 tyres are engineered using the latest generation tread compound from Michelin, combined with an advanced symmetric tread design for improved safety and durability. The tread features a solid center rib that enhances straight-line stability and steering precision, supported by optimized intermediate ribs and reinforced shoulder blocks that improve handling and cornering control.
The updated tread layout helps distribute pressure evenly across the tyre surface, promoting uniform wear and consistent performance throughout the tyre’s life. Primacy 5 delivers strong traction, enhanced wet braking performance, and reliable handling on both dry and wet road conditions.
