The Michelin Pilot Primacy is a Gr&
Touring “summer” tire that was developed to meet the needs of sporty
luxury coupe & sedan drivers who want comfort & tread life along
with performance. Used as original equipment, the Pilot Primacy also
focuses on enhancing wet weather traction & hydroplaning
resistance. On the outside, the
Pilot Primacy molds a silica-based tread compound into an asymmetric
tread design that features stable independent outer shoulder tread
blocks (to blend dry road handling with wet cornering traction), a
continuous center rib (which reduces noise while providing constant
road contact to enhance straight line stability), & a high angle
grooved inner tread design (to further enhance wet grip & resist
hydroplaning). Internally, the Pilot Primacy features twin high
tensile steel belts that are supported by Michelin’s Banded At Zero
(BAZ) technology (spiral-wrapped reinforcement) to stabilize the
tread area to enhance handling & high-speed capability.
Michelin Pilot Primacy tires feature
black sidewall styling with subtle black letters reversed out of a
circumferential serrated band. They are V- or W-speed rated
depending upon their application & available in 65-, 60-, 55-, 50-
& 45-series sizes for 15" to 17" wheel diameters.
