MICHELIN e·PRIMACY: eco-responsible, made to last.
Reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and an extended electric vehicle battery range with MICHELIN e.PRIMACY, an eco-responsible tyre, made to last.
MICHELIN eco-responsible summer tyre for petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric vehicles
Lowest fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in its category
Extended battery range for electric vehicles
Long-lasting safety, from the first mile to the last
Excellent longevity
Fuel saving and eco-responsible tyre. Choose the MICHELIN e·PRIMACY tyre to save money, lowering fuel costs by up to £72, and reduce your carbon footprint by up to 174kg of CO2 during usage of the tyre. Enjoy the lowest fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in its category. Energy Passive Compound reduces energy dissipation. Thinner top belts with less raw materials at equivalent strength, improve fuel consumption or battery range for electric vehicles for eco-responsible driving.
Smooth, stress-free electric journey. Enjoy stress-free electric driving with MICHELIN e·PRIMACY, thanks to an increase of approximately 7% battery range compared to the average of its competitors for your electric vehicle. That's about 18 additional miles for an EV vehicle with a 250 miles estimated range. An air-tight EnergyAirShield Compound reduces energy dissipation while the CoolRunning Sidewall absorbs less energy during flexion, extending the car battery range and leading to more efficient driving for all your journeys.
High standard of safety, made to last Experience a high level of safety with the MICHELIN e·PRIMACY eco-responsible tyre. This innovative tyre features a U-shape groove to maintain a high level of water evacuation for safety throughout the life of the tyre. Even after 30,000km (18,600 miles) of use, braking distance remains below the legal homologation level for a new tyre. Peace of mind for you and your family when driving on wet days.
Excellent longevity Choose the MICHELIN e·PRIMACY tyre for excellent longevity. The MaxTouch Construction maximises the tyre's contact with the road and evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering- delivering longer tread life. Enjoy excellent mileage with a tyre built to last.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
