(2) - Energy consumption means petrol for thermic and hybrid vehicles, electricity for electric vehicles.
(3) - When new, MICHELIN e.PRIMACY generates 2kg/t on average rolling resistance less than competitors equivalent in fuel consumption reduction of up to 0.21l/100km for a VW Golf 7 1.5 TSI or equivalent of gain of up to 7% in battery range for a VW e.Golf.
(4) - Wet braking performance - Wet braking new and worn: External tests conducted by TÜV SÜD Product Service, on Michelin's request, between 80-20 kph, in low grip conditions in July 2024, on dimension 205/55 R16 91V on VW Golf 8 (worn means when worn on machine (buffed) to the depth of Tread Wear Indicator according to European regulation: ECE R30r03f) comparing MICHELIN Primacy 5 (new: 100% - worn: 100%) versus MICHELIN Primacy 4+ (new: 91.4% - worn: 99.2%).
(5) - Wet braking performance - Worn means when worn on machine (buffed) to the depth of Tread Wear Indicator according to European regulation: ECE R30r03f. On new and worn 205/55 R16 91V MICHELIN Primacy 5 is above the R117 European regulation wet grip threshold.
(6) - Longevity - External tests conducted by DEKRA TEST CENTRE, on Michelin's request, in July 2024, on dimension 235/45 R18 98 W&Y on Tesla Model 3 comparing MICHELIN Primacy 5 (100%) versus MICHELIN Primacy 4+ (82%). (4) - fuel efficiency - Rolling Resistance tests conducted on machine by TÜV SÜD Product Service, on Michelin's request, June 2024, on dimension 205/55 R16 91V, comparing MICHELIN Primacy 5 (100%) versus MICHELIN Primacy 4+ (94.7%). (5) - 'Last mile' being when the tyre is at the legal minimum tread depth of 1.6mm.
(7) - Snow braking - Tests conducted by UTAC, on Michelin's request in North Finland (Mellatracks), in December 2023, on dimension 205/55 R16 91H on VW Golf 8. Based on Snow braking tests with ABS (between 30 and 10 kph), comparing MICHELIN Alpin 7 (100%) versus MICHELIN Alpin 6 tyre (93.6%), performed on a new tyre.
(8) - Snow acceleration - Tests conducted by UTAC, on Michelin's request in North Finland (Mellatracks), in December 2023, on dimension 205/55 R16 91H on VW Golf 8. Based on Snow acceleration tests (between 5 and 30 kph), comparing MICHELIN Alpin 7 (100%) versus MICHELIN Alpin 6 tyre (98.5%), performed on a new tyre.
