Product description

  • Winter tyre for high-performance saloons.
  • Short braking on wet surfaces.
  • Good control on snow-covered surfaces.

Designed for top of the range saloons, the Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 is a winter tyre combining high performance and safety.

Traction. The StabiliGrip technology combines two types of sipe: self-locking bidirectional sipes offering better traction on the snow and a variable geometry structure that strengthens resistance at high speeds.

Safety. The Helio Compound rubber compound with sunflower oil, enables the new Michelin Primacy Alpin to enhance performances on wet surfaces and snow. This innovation enables better dissipation of the energy in the tread.

What is the rezulteo score?

The rezulteo score is calculated considering three performance categories: economy, comfort and safety. When it comes to winter tyres, the performance criteria snow and ice are added. By weighting different basic performance criteria an overall score is determined. This weighting is calculated based on the tyre size category: economic, high performance or sports.
