Michelin Malaysia has announced it is expanding its Michelin Primacy 5 line to include SUVs, covering both internal combustion engine (ICE) and fully electric (EV) models. This comes just over a month after the Primacy 5 was launched here and provides customers with even more sizing options to fit a wider variety of vehicle types. “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,” said Florentin Odenwald, managing director of Michelin Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. “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,” he added. The SUV version of the Primacy 5 features reinforced sidewalls for greater stability and impact resistance, while also delivering benefits such as a silent and comfortable ride thanks to the manufacturer’s Silent Rib Gen-3 technology. Additionally, the Primacy 5 for SUVs offers up to 16% shorter braking distances (new and worn), supported by the third generation of the brand’s functional elastomers as well as Michelin EverGrip and Michelin EverTread technologies. Meanwhile, MaxTouch technology maximises the tread blocks’ contact with the road surface, evenly distributing acceleration, braking and cornering forces for longer tread life without compromising safety. EVs should also benefit from the high-performance tread compound that reduces rolling resistance by 10%. With this update, the Primacy 5 line in Malaysia now includes 76 sizes for 16- to 22-inch wheels. The recommended retail price for the tyre starts from RM467 to RM1,639.
