The Michelin Primacy LTX summer tire is designed for modern crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks that are primarily used on paved roads. Unlike the classic models of the French brand for off-road use, it is focused on comfort, smooth ride, and stable handling at high speeds, demonstrating a number of "signature" features, primarily increased durability.
The tread pattern is made in a symmetrical design with four wide longitudinal grooves and a system of additional lamellas. This structure provides reliable drainage and resistance to aquaplaning even in heavy rain. In the shoulder areas, there are narrow continuous longitudinal ribs that increase directional stability and steering accuracy at high speed.
One of the key features of the tire is the proprietary Comfort Control technology, which involves the use of computer modeling in the design of the tread pattern and optimization of its step arrangement. This has made it possible to significantly reduce the level of noise and vibrations, which is especially noticeable in the cabin when driving on worn asphalt.
The tire's carcass is reinforced using the MaxTouch Construction technology, which evenly distributes pressure across the contact patch. This not only increases the vehicle's stability in turns but also promotes more even wear, increasing the tire's lifespan. The internal structure is reinforced with steel cord and polyester layers, making the tire resistant to deformations and damage under high load.
The rubber compound is made using the Green X technology, which involves the addition of high-dispersion silica. This component reduces rolling resistance, lowering fuel consumption while maintaining a high level of grip on wet surfaces. This compound is heat-resistant, allowing it to maintain stable characteristics even in conditions of intense summer heat.
Key features of Michelin Primacy LTX:
- Comfort Control technology reduces noise and vibrations, increasing comfort while driving;
- MaxTouch Construction technology provides even wear and durability;
- Green X rubber compound with silica reduces rolling resistance and fuel consumption.
