MICHELIN e.Primacy – Summer tire for maximum energy efficiency and quiet driving

MICHELIN e.Primacy is a premium summer tire developed specifically for electric and hybrid vehicles, but it also performs exceptionally well on cars with low fuel consumption. The focus is on energy efficiency, long lifespan, and safety — from the first to the last kilometer.

Lower energy consumption and increased EV range

The e.Primacy is engineered to reduce rolling resistance, which provides:

• lower fuel consumption for conventional vehicles
• increased driving range for electric vehicles
• reduced energy loss thanks to the special Energy Passive compound
• a lighter construction with a thin belt that requires fewer raw materials

Tests show that e.Primacy can increase EV range by up to 7%, which is a significant advantage in everyday driving.

Consistent safety on wet roads

Although efficiency is the main focus, the tire maintains a high level of safety:

• stable grip on wet roads
• reliable braking even when worn
• performance above European threshold values for wet surfaces

MICHELIN is known for tires that retain their performance even after long use, and e.Primacy continues that tradition.

Long lifespan

According to DEKRA tests, the estimated lifespan of the e.Primacy is around 30,000 km, with even wear and stable performance throughout its entire life cycle.
