Latest Tire Test Results

2023 The Best Electric Vehicle Tires VS UHP Tires - 3rd of 10 tires

• Positive - Best braking in the wet, very low rolling resistance and quiet rolling noise. Easily controllable tire with safe understeer tendency.
• Negative - Poor ride comfort with low self-damping.
• Overall - The e.Primacy is the best choice for high-quality, comfortable e-models - but it's expensive.

2023 ADAC Summer Tire Test - 38th of 50 tires

• Positive - Very good environmental balance, best sustainability, very high mileage (top grade), very little abrasion (top mark), light and very economical (top mark)
• Negative - Unbalanced, weaknesses on dry and particularly wet roads (devaluation.)
• Overall - Driving safety: The Michelin e.Primacy is rated as sufficient for driving safety due to its wet performance. The Michelin e.Primacy offers the driver satisfactory feedback on the steering wheel on dry roads and does not get more than a satisfactory rating when driving at the limit. When it comes to the braking distance, however, the tire scores well and even gets a good rating for it. All in all, however, it does not get more than a satisfactory result in terms of dry performance. On wet roads, the e.Primacy shows clear weaknesses compared to the test field. Its braking, aquaplaning and handling performance is rated as only adequate. The tire can only moderately combine longitudinal and lateral forces, which means that the test car can only be controlled imprecisely and in the limit area with great difficulty. Overall, the wet performance is rated as sufficient.
  
  Environmental balance: In terms of environmental balance, the e.Primacy sets the standard in the test field. It offers a very high predicted mileage, gets a very good rating for the lowest wear and also scores points in terms of efficiency with very low fuel consumption and low tire weight. The Michelin e.Primacy also sets the bar high when it comes to sustainability and is the only tire that just barely misses a good rating. It offers a very high predicted mileage, gets a very good rating for the lowest wear and also scores points in terms of efficiency with very low fuel consumption and low tire weight.

2022 ViBilagare Eco vs Normal Tire Test - 9th of 10 tires

• Positive - Low rolling resistance, good stability, crisp steering feel.
• Negative - Very poor wet grip! Long stopping distances in wet.
• Overall - The Michelin ePrimacy eco-tire is said to have a CO2-neutral manufacturing process. Although the rolling resistance was the lowest in the laboratory, it was not the most frugal when we measured actual fuel consumption. Compared to Primacy 4, e.Primacy has a slightly better steering response and sharper high-speed stability. It is noticeable that it is designed to handle heavier EV-cars, partly helped by the unusually low tread depth – only 6.1 mm.
  On dry roads, the grip level is slightly less than the Michelin Primacy 4. On wet roads however, the differences are enormous with poor cornering grip, early aquaplaning and worryingly long braking distances. It is really difficult to drive on wet asphalt.
  The environmental thinking went too far. In terms of points, it falls far behind.
