Michelin E Primacy

Michelin's e.Primacy is not only a successor to the Energy Saver; it also represents a new approach to tyre development at Michelin. In its virtual launch in late-2020 it became the first tyre to be released with an Environmental Product Declaration. The e.Primacy is rated A for energy efficiency and B for wet grip. This pairing is a result achieved by less than one per cent of all summer car tyres sold in Europe. The e.Primacy has the lowest rolling resistance in its class and can save drivers around 0.21 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres, Michelin says. Electric car drivers can reckon with up to seven per cent extra range. In the ePrimacy, Michelin has revisited its Long Lasting Performance concept, or ‘performance made to last’. Based upon test results, the tyre maker is confident that even after the equivalent of 30,000 kilometres on the road, e.Primacy tyres can pass the European R117 standard wet braking approval test for new tyres.
