The given tire model belongs to the "comfort" class and is a high-speed tire.
The Michelin Primacy HP tire is designed to provide a long life while maintaining all its characteristics and qualities throughout its use. This means that the tire from the French manufacturer will brake and have good traction even after 30,000 km of mileage.
The Primacy HP tire uses Michelin's new Green X Standard technology, which reduces tire rolling resistance, significantly reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Michelin Primacy HP is an absolutely summer tire, designed for driving on dry and wet asphalt. In low temperatures, this tire will start to harden, leading to a significant deterioration in its quality, so its use on snow and ice is not intended.
It is worth noting that the new Michelin Primacy HP tire is designed with the A.S.M. (Architecture, Sculpture, and Materials) technology in mind. This tire is oriented towards these three components that shape its abilities. The use of this technology allows the tire to have better traction and braking performance on any surface. The tread design reduces the noise level and increases the wear resistance of the tire. The tire has four longitudinal grooves, and the sidewall contains a large number of drainage grooves that effectively remove water from the contact patch, providing high resistance to aquaplaning on these tires. Thus, the A.S.M. technology allows for the best balance of tire characteristics without compromising any of them.
The composition of the rubber mixture in this tire is also an innovation. The asymmetric tread design with large blocks significantly improves the acoustic comfort when driving on this tire. The central rib of the tire improves the sensitivity of the tire when driving, which is important for aggressive and sporty driving. The Michelin Primacy HP structure includes a double steel cord created using BAZ technology (a polyamide spiral that rotates during movement), which improves the tire's quality at high speeds.
Features of the Michelin Primacy HP tire
— significantly increased tire mileage by 25%;
— improved braking performance compared to the previous model by 2mm;
— use of elastomer to create the perfect rubber mixture composition with the application of silicon oxide;
— the latest Michelin Green X Standard technology;
— use of the A.S.M. rule.
Michelin Primacy HP tires are ideal for lovers of fast and aggressive city driving. In terms of stability, reliability, and safety, these tires can only be compared to some models from German, Finnish, and Japanese manufacturers.
Michelin Primacy HP tire sizes
— this tire can be found in sizes from 16 to 18 inches in diameter;
— the tire supports profiles from 40 to 60%;
— the maximum speed index is Y (allows acceleration up to 300 km/h on the French tire).
