Description
The Michelin e·Primacy is an eco-designed summer tire engineered for electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids, and low-consumption internal combustion engine vehicles. Its primary focus is exceptional energy efficiency and longevity without compromising safety, making it a champion in low rolling resistance.
The alphanumeric codes in the user’s request indicate specific Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approvals for certain car brands:
(*): Indicates fitment approval for BMW vehicles.(MO): Indicates fitment approval for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.(ACO): This specific marking is less common in public information snippets, but OEM codes typically denote a specific manufacturer’s requirement for a tire’s specifications (likely for Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, etc., but the exact manufacturer is not specified in the search results).
Key Features and Overview
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Energy Efficiency | Features the lowest rolling resistance in its category (an A-rating on the EU label for most sizes). This can extend an EV’s battery range by up to 7% (about 30 additional km on a 400 km range) and reduce fuel consumption in conventional cars by up to 0.21 L/100 km. |
| Technology | Incorporates an Energy Passive Compound, CoolRunning Sidewalls, and a slim belt design to minimize energy loss and heat buildup. The EnergyAirShield compound is highly airtight, further reducing energy loss. |
| Safety | Designed for “safety made to last”. It maintains high wet grip performance even as the tire wears, earning a B-rating for wet grip among top premium summer tires. U-shaped grooves ensure effective water evacuation throughout its life. |
| Longevity | MaxTouch Construction maximizes road contact and ensures even pressure distribution during acceleration, braking, and cornering, which promotes even wear and extends the tread life. |
| Eco-Friendly | The e·Primacy is the first Michelin tire line developed using a full Life Cycle Assessment to optimize its environmental impact from raw material to recycling. Michelin also offsets the CO2 emissions from its production and transport, making it CO2-neutral at the point of purchase. |
The Michelin e·Primacy is a premium summer tire (though an All-Season version exists for some markets) designed to balance the needs of modern, eco-conscious drivers by providing efficiency, safety, and durability.
