As the popularity of larger SUVs and electric vehicles increases in Malaysia, Dangrojana also pointed out that the MICHELIN Primacy 5 is tailored to offer exceptional value, combining safety, performance, and a quieter ride for everyday drivers.

Key Benefits of the MICHELIN Primacy 5:

  1. Premium Comfort and Quiet Ride:
    Featuring a newly designed tread pattern with MICHELIN Silent Rib Gen-3 technology, the Primacy 5 significantly reduces road vibrations and noise. This results in a smoother, quieter, and more comfortable driving experience, even on longer journeys.
  2. Exceptional Longevity:
    The MICHELIN Primacy 5 delivers up to 24% more mileage than other premium tire brands. This remarkable durability is thanks to a 10% increase in the void ratio compared to its predecessor, alongside optimized lateral grooves. The inclusion of MaxTouch technology ensures an even distribution of forces during acceleration, braking, and cornering, contributing to longer tire life without compromising safety.
  3. Enhanced Wet Braking Performance:
    With 8% shorter braking distance when new, and 13% shorter when worn, the MICHELIN Primacy 5 excels in wet conditions. Its advanced Functional Elastomers 3.0 and MICHELIN EverGrip technologies improve water evacuation, ensuring outstanding braking performance and delivering peace of mind for drivers in rainy weather.
  4. EV-Friendly Design:
    Optimized for electric vehicles, the Primacy 5 uses a specialized rubber compound that reduces rolling resistance by 13%. This not only boosts fuel efficiency but also extends the driving range of electric vehicles, making it the perfect tire for eco-conscious drivers.

Sustainability at Its Core

In line with Michelin’s “All Sustainable” strategy, the MICHELIN Primacy 5 incorporates a range of eco-friendly features. The tire boasts a 5% improvement in rolling resistance and an 18% increase in longevity, allowing it to last longer before reaching the legal tread depth, reducing waste.
