(2) Energy consumption means petrol for thermic and hybrid vehicles, electricity for electric vehicles.
(3) Longevity test conducted by DEKRA TEST CENTER, on Michelin's request, June-July 2020, on dimension 205/55 R16 91V on VW Golf 7 comparing MICHELIN e.PRIMACY (100%) versus MICHELIN Primacy 4 (102.1%); Longevity test run in average real usage (D50) with 14,460 km run and extrapolated longevity at 1.6mm.
(4) Rolling Resistance tests conducted on machine by Applus Idiada, on Michelin's request, June (on new) & August (on 2mm buffed) 2020, on dimension 205/55 R16 91V, comparing MICHELIN e.PRIMACY (new: 5.58kg/t & worn: 5.13kg/t) versus MICHELIN PRIMACY 4 (new: 7.74kg/t & worn: 6.25kg/t); BRIDGESTONE TURANZA T005 (new: 7.17kg/t & worn: 5.81kg/t); CONTINENTAL ECOCONTACT 6 (new: 6.39kg/t & worn: 5.49kg/t); CONTINENTAL PREMIUM CONTACT 6 (new: 8.93kg/t & worn: 6.94kg/t); DUNLOP BLURESPONSE (new: 7.97kg/t & worn: 5.54kg/t); GOODYEAR EFFICIENT GRIP 2 (new: 7.01kg/t & worn: 5.38kg/t); PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 BLUE (new: 6.96kg/t & worn: 6.30kg/t); PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 (new: 8.79kg/t & worn: 6.97kg/t). Eco-friendly driving depends notably on driving habits, vehicle or tyre pressure.
(5) 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.
(6) Tyre abrasion: Wear and burden on the environment / ADAC e.V. | 81360 München / December 2021
(7) Internal calculation based on 2021 ADAC study, updated on March 2022. For all ranges tested, MICHELIN tyres lose an average of 95g/1000 kms compared to an average of 122,3g/1000kms for the premium competitors tested, i.e. 28% less.
(8) MICHELIN e.PRIMACY is mainly rated "B" on the Wet Grip Item of the European labelling scale.
(9) longevity - External tests conducted by DEKRA TEST CENTER, on Michelin's request, in July 2021, on dimension 205/55 R16 91V on VW Golf comparing MICHELIN Primacy 4+ (REF km) versus BRIDGESTONE TuranzaT005 (-15 998km); CONTINENTAL PremiumContact 6 (-5 655km); GOODYEAR EfficientGrip Performance 2 (+2093km) competitors.
(10) New and Worn (worn means worn on machine (buffed) to the depth of Tread Wear Indicator according to European regulation for Tread Wear indicator ECE R30r03f), on 205/55 R16 91V MICHELIN e.PRIMACY, is above the R117 European regulation wet grip threshold.
