Technical information
Focus: Eco
Economy tyres are built around low rolling resistance — the engine spends less effort keeping the wheel turning, and that shows up at the pump. Michelin E PRIMACY is one of them. The price is usually a harder compound: on a wet road you need to brake earlier and carry more margin into corners. In return they cover more kilometres than softer compounds. Leading manufacturers keep narrowing the wet-grip gap with new compounds, but a difference between an economy and a standard tyre is normally still there.

What owners say
<p>Disaster in wet. Othewise Ok.</p>
<p>This tires is dangerous on wet condition, no grip at all.
In dry condition is a medium tyre.
Duration and acustic confort is optimal</p>
<p>Low noise,comfort and highly competitive in rolling resistance but not much of a confidence in corners..</p>
Very capable tyre in the dry conditions in terms of wear and efficiency. All of this goes out the window on a damp or wet road. I have had multiple cases of grip completely disappearing on all 4 tyres at low speeds, usually when there is any sort of camber or braking involved. I know this is a summer tyre but in the wet I would say these are borderline dangerous on a heavy EV on wet UK A roads which is a shame as they are comfortable, quiet and efficient, but I tyres main job is to keep you on the road.
I bought the e·Primacy because the Primacy 4 was out of stock.
Overall, I’m satisfied—they’re quiet and the handling feels good.
While tests suggest the wet grip is a bit weak, I’ve never felt unsafe during my daily commute or grand touring.
Wear is minimal, and they look like they’ll last 50,000 km.
That said, I’ll probably go with the Primacy 4 next time. After all, you can never have too much wet grip.
