Michelin Primacy 4 SUV 235/55 R18 100V

The Michelin Primacy 4 SUV summer tire is a "highway" tire for SUVs and crossovers. It is characterized by stable traction and braking efficiency on dry and wet roads, "signature" fuel economy and tread life for French brand models. Like the entire Primacy line, this tire offers a high level of comfort, providing a quiet and smooth ride.

As with the "passenger" analog, the version of which is this model, the Max Touch Construction technology is used here. This is a set of technical solutions that have affected a significant part of the tire's components. First of all, this is the frame, the sections of which, located under the shoulder zones and the upper part of the sidewalls, have increased stiffness. In addition, the profile of the tread part of the tire has been optimized, which has not only expanded the contact patch but also, under load, takes on a shape close to rectangular. The result of these innovations is a reduced and evenly distributed pressure on the road surface and the tire's components, which increases the wear resistance of the tread, the stability of the traction properties when accelerating and cornering, as well as reduces the rolling resistance.

Another technological innovation is the Evergrip rubber compound. Its composition, in addition to a large amount of "silica", contains a complex of polymers that "activate" certain molecular chains under various driving modes. To a large extent, it is this that explains the "signature" braking efficiency on wet roads and the resistance of the tread to abrasive wear.

Main features of Michelin Primacy 4 SUV

- improved handling and directional stability due to the optimization of the tread profile and the design of the frame;
- a rubber compound with special polymers and an increased number of lamellas and grooves provides stable traction and braking efficiency on wet roads;
- a low level of noise and vibrations is ensured by optimizing the tread pattern and increasing the elasticity of the rubber compound.
