Michelin Primacy 3 Runflat 205/55/17 91W

With Michelin Primacy 3 tyres, your drive remains a time when you can get away from it all. And with Michelin Total Performance you will enjoy silence, comfort and safety, while not compromising on longevity.

Michelin ZP is Michelin’s self supporting run flat tyre technology This Self Supporting Tyre (SST) technology should only be used on vehicles originally designed for this type of tyre. Do not fit ZP tyres on vehicles not designed for this technology. Michelin ZP tyres have reinforced sidewalls which support the vehicle weight in the event of pressure loss.

Technology

EvenPeak Technology

• Gives you a ride 8% quieter than 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.

*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); Tyre Size 205/55 R16; 6.5JJ16; 2.2 bar on front and Rear.

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.

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 centre 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 minimise tread block deformation, improving handling and cut through water in the wet.
