Lasts 25% longer

MICHELIN Primacy HP lasts 25% longer¹ on average compared to its principal competitors.

Brakes shorter in the wet

Up to 2m shorter braking distance compared to its predecessor, MICHELIN Pilot Primacy.

1. Based on results from tests carried out in 2005 and 2006 by independent testing centres (TÜV Automotive, TÜV UVMV) on tyre sizes 225/55 R16 W and 205/55 R16 W purchased on the open European market.

Perfect Balance of performance

Thanks to ASM optimization

A new research process integrating three essential mechanisms used to balance a tyre's performance, known as ASM: Architecture (structure), Sculpture (tread pattern) and Materials.

The result is an unprecedented balance of performances without compromise.

Mileage & Comfort

Thanks to the Supple yet rigid construction

For the first time, a supple yet rigid tyre design has been implemented: a supple structure to ensure that the new Primacy HP has a very large 'contact patch' area, combined with a rigid tread pattern to ensure the rubber touching the road is operating at its full potential.

Safety

Thanks to ElastoSport compound

Using exclusive Michelin rubber mixing technology, the tread materials are composed of a unique combination of ElastoSport, derived from the sport segment, and full silica.
