Michelin Malaysia has announced that the Michelin Primacy 5 line-up has been expanded to include SUVs, covering both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicles (EVs).
For Malaysia, the Michelin Primacy 5 is now available in 76 different sizes, ranging from 16- to 22-inch, with prices starting from RM 467 to RM 1,639.
To cope with the added weight that SUVs and EVs bring, the SUV variant of the Michelin Primacy 5 features reinforced sidewalls for better stability and impact resistance. As before, the Primacy 5 continues to offer:
- Premium Comfort Drive, ranking Number 1 in silence and comfort with the lowest interior cabin noise, thanks to Michelin Silent Rib Gen-3 technology
- Safety Made to Last, with 16% shorter wet braking distance (new and worn) and Number 1 performance in the wet moose test, supported by Michelin EverGrip, Michelin EverTread, and Functional Elastomers 3.0
- Excellent Longevity, through MaxTouch technology that maximizes contact with the road and evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering for longer tread life without compromising safety.
- EV Compatibility, with a high-performance tread compound that reduces rolling resistance by 10% to improve energy efficiency and extend the electric vehicle’s battery range.
Florentin Odenwald, Managing Director of Michelin Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei said: “The extended Michelin Primacy 5 line addresses the SUV and crossover market, which has grown significantly from just 11% of sales in 2010 to 42% in 2025. This extension adds 34 new fitments for 16- to 22-inch wheels, offering a broader range of sizing options to meet diverse vehicle and consumer needs.”
“Malaysia is at an exciting inflection point, with EV adoption accelerating and SUVs dominating the roads. With the extension of the Michelin Primacy 5 range, we are meeting this shift head on, giving drivers of both electric and conventional SUVs a tyre that delivers on comfort, safety, and efficiency without compromise,” added Florentin.
