It offers a refined balance of comfort, traction, braking performance, and mile longevity, making it ideal for drivers who prioritize both safety and driving pleasure.

This tyre is especially suited for everyday commuting, highway cruising, and long‑distance travel where smooth handling, strong wet performance, and reliable dry traction are essential.

Green & Reliable

Primacy 5 tyres are designed with low rolling resistance technology, helping to improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO₂ emissions without sacrificing performance. They deliver stable handling, quieter ride quality, and dependable braking across dry and wet roads.

Engineered for warm and wet conditions, these tyres are not suitable for snow, ice, or near‑freezing temperatures.

The advanced tread compound improves wet braking performance and enhances grip on slippery surfaces while maintaining strong dry traction. Reinforced tread ribs help maintain direction and steering precision, while wide grooves channel water efficiently to reduce the risk of aquaplaning.

The symmetric tread pattern also supports even wear and high mileage, ensuring the tyre maintains consistent performance throughout its life.
