Michelin Primacy Tour A/S
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- Comfortable driving experience
- Longer lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Michelin Primacy Tour A/S is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model also comes in some high performance sizes. Michelin offers a 55,000 mile treadwear warranty with H and V speed rated sizes and a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty with W speed rated sizes.
The tire promotes excellent controllability. The tread design’s optimized footprint maintains the tire’s road contact at all times, which upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The better control over the tires enables the driver to confidently steer the vehicle in all weather conditions.
The model ensures a comfortable performance. The optimal tread design closely follows the road surface, which absorbs the shock of driving. In this manner, the tire decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. The tread’s pitch variation lowers the road noise levels. The pitch variation negates the road noise generated during the drive with a sound frequency. The reduced road vibrations and road noise levels guarantee an enjoyable and quiet driving experience.
The model’s all season compound and the asymmetric tread design work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The tire compound maintains its flexibility even in colder winter temperatures, while the asymmetric tread design with the high-density siping detail firmly grips the road surface throughout the year. The wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire’s footprint. As a result, the tire provides a secure year round performance.
The Primacy Tour A/S offers a longer lasting tread life. The optimal footprint of the asymmetric tread design evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking lengthens the tread life and the tire’s usability by preventing irregular tread wear formations on the tire’s surface, making the model more cost efficient.
