MICHELIN PRIMACY 3 ST

8% quieter than the average of competitors.*

*LEQ – Equivalent Sound Pressure Level. Based on vehicle test (Both road noise and pattern noise); VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2011 model; 8/May/2012; JARI NVH test circuit (in Japan); tire Size 205/55 R16; 6.5JJ16; 2.2 bar on front and rear

EvenPeak Technology

Gives you a ride 8% quieter than the average of competitors*

With greater variation in the size and position of the tread blocks, the noise power is spread across a wider frequency range, making no peaks of noise power. Thus, your ride is more peaceful.

CushionGuard Technology

Keeps the ride smooth, steady and comfortable.

Cushion vibrations when the tread blocks contact the road surface using supple FlexMax compounds.

Absorbs bumps in the road using shock absorbent sidewalls.

2.9 meters shorter braking distance on wet roads compared to leading competitors.*

*Based on MICHELIN internal Test Results, conducted in Thailand on TOYOTA CAMRY 2.0 VVT-i (2006) ; tire Size 215/55 R17 94V Rim size: 7.0J17 Air Pressure [bar] 2.2/2.2 Front Load per tire (kg/Tire): 498 Rear Load per tire (kg/Tire): 423

FlexMax Technology

With FlexMax technology, the tread adapts to the irregularities of the road surface for better connection and grip.

FlexMax chamfer prevents the tread block from distorting and losing contact pressure under the center of tread blocks, ensuring maximum rubber contact with the road when needed most.

StabiliGrip Technology

StabiliGrip technology uses self-locking bands inside the small grooves to minimize tread block deformation, improving handling and cut through water in wet conditions.

Car longevity is 25% better than its previous generation.*
