The efficiency class label evaluated based on customer preferences.
Delticom centralized survey results from more than 40.000 customers from 15 European countries and created this index.
The first AAA MICHELIN premium summer tyre that combines safety, energy efficiency and noise reduction. Leader in longevity among premium summer tyres. Suitable for EV as well as ICE and hybrid cars.
Designed for safety on wet roads. Drive safe with MICHELIN Primacy 5 Energy, MICHELIN's premium summer tyre with an A-label in Europe for wet grip, offering an 8% improvement in wet braking performance, both new and worn.
Drive for longer. MICHELIN Primacy 5 Energy tyre, leader in longevity among premium summer tyres. MICHELIN MaxTouch technology maximises contact with the road and evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering, delivering longer treadlife without sacrificing performance. The new MICHELIN Energy Passive 2.0 compound offers resistance to abrasion, so you can trust your tyres for longer.
Refuel and recharge less thanks to A-label rated energy efficiency. Equipped with MICHELIN Slim Belt technology, the MICHELIN Primacy 5 Energy tyre helps reduce your fuel consumption or increase your battery range thanks to thinner top belts with less raw materials at equivalent strength, reaching A-labelling for rolling resistance.
Enjoy a quiet and more comfortable drive. This AAA premium summer tyre delivers a low level of noise to help give you a quiet and more comfortable drive, achieving A-labelling for exterior noise. The tread pattern is optimised with MICHELIN Piano Acoustic technology plus MICHELIN Silent Rib GEN3, minimising the noise generated on both new and worn tyres.
Suitable for your EV. Designed for optimised safety, energy efficiency and comfort in your EV with this MICHELIN AAA-labelling summer tyre. MICHELIN Primacy 5 Energy has proven longevity, a tread pattern designed for low noise and comfort, and a low rolling resistance to extend the mileage range of your EV.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

Michelin – we take you further.
The vision of our founders, Edouard and André Michelin, has guided the
development of the MICHELIN brand for more than 125 years: making driving as simple, safe, and
comfortable as possible – first with innovative tires and wheels, followed by road maps, travel guides, and
contributions toward improving traffic infrastructure. Along with this comes a strong engagement with the
environment, as modern mobility must be sustainable and not detrimental to the environment.
Each year the Michelin Group produces more than 178 million tires in 68
production facilities in 17 countries, and it operates sales networks in more than 170 countries. The product
offerings are many: from bicycle, passenger car, truck, motorcycle, and tractor tires, to tires for 5-ton earth-
moving machines. Michelin employs 111,700 people worldwide and owns one of the oldest, most famous
trademarks in the world – the legendary Michelin Man.
Targeted development: MICHELIN Total Performance
In the development of new products, Michelin faithfully pursues the concept of
"MICHELIN Total Performance", backed by the rigorous standard of always bringing together a number of
performance characteristics into a tire, to achieve optimal results. We follow this philosophy not only in the
development of our standard products, but also in motorsports. Numerous technical innovations help to
relieve burdens on the environment, drivers, and businesses. Hidden out of sight in tire casings, tread
designs, and rubber compounds, throughout their lives MICHELIN tires show their full potential: they offer
excellent grip, long life, and reduced fuel consumption thanks to their low rolling resistance.
To better understand the conditions which tires are subjected to in everyday
use, in the summer of 2014 Michelin began a unique research project – the Road Usage Lab. Vehicles from
3,000 drivers in Europe were equipped with special measurement devices to record data about the tires'
use. These valuable findings are being employed in the development of future tire models, making them
better suited to the needs of real drivers.
