Michelin Primacy SUV+ 215/55 R18 99V XL

The Michelin Primacy SUV+ summer tire for SUVs and crossovers is perfect for use on both urban roads and high-speed highways. In any road conditions, it provides a high level of safety, while demonstrating a comfortable, quiet and smooth ride, fuel efficiency and "signature" handling.

One of the key advantages of the tire is its excellent braking properties on wet surfaces. This is due to a whole complex of solutions that are part of the Michelin Grip technology. Its key component is the rubber compound. It remains elastic at low temperatures, with increased resistance to wear and the ability to reduce tire heating during prolonged high-speed driving. It's worth noting the presence of U-shaped grooves and lamellas in the tread. The latter are cut through the entire depth of the tread, which largely determines the tire's stability on wet surfaces even with significant wear of the tread pattern.

Another feature of the tread pattern is blocks with chamfers. They limit the mobility of elements, which, in combination with the "three-dimensional" profile of the StabiliGrip lamella walls, provided a significant increase in the stability of the traction properties during braking, as well as improved directional stability during maneuvering.

The profile of the tread is optimized in a special way. Its shape does not so much increase the contact patch as it provides a maximally uniform distribution of load on the road surface. As a result, the traction properties are enhanced, and the car handling process is simplified due to faster and more accurate reactions to the driver's actions. Another advantage of this solution is a significant increase in the wear resistance of the tread. The increased size and profile of the blocks on the edges significantly increase the wear resistance of the tire.

Key features of Michelin Primacy SUV+

- StabiliGrip lamellas and blocks with chamfers increase the stability of traction properties during braking and maneuvering;
