Michelin’s Primacy range has been a go-to option for many drivers for the past decade.
Now, with the introduction of the Michelin Primacy 5 Energy, the range has expanded further - with a focus on fuel efficiency and electric vehicles.
At first glance, the Primacy 5 and Primacy 5 Energy may look similar. However, in terms of the performance of the tyres there are some important differences.
Michelin Primacy 5 Energy vs Primacy 5: What's the difference?
The biggest difference between the Michelin Primacy 5 Energy and Michelin Primacy 5 is what they have been optimised to deliver.
The Michelin Primacy 5 is Michelin's flagship premium summer touring tyre, engineered to provide an excellent balance of comfort, wet braking performance, long tread life and everyday driving refinement.
