The Michelin Primacy 3 premium summer touring tyre is designed for sedans, wagons and SUVs that cover a mix of daily commuting and longer highway trips. Its priorities are wet-road safety, comfort and durability rather than outright sportiness. Find all the Primacy 3 sizes on offer on our website, from 16-inch to 19-inch, with a strong lean towards European premium fitments.
What sets the Primacy 3 apart
Michelin positions the Primacy 3 around safety and longevity. The tread combines auto-blocking sipe technology with a patented rubber compound, both aimed at keeping grip and handling secure on wet bitumen. Michelin reports that the Primacy 3 received a "Good" rating in ADAC tyre tests in 2015 and 2018, with a note for longevity, and it carries an A or B wet grip grade on the European tyre label.
Marked fitments and run-flat options
Most listings carry a carmaker marking: BMW appears on 17 of them, Mercedes-Benz on 13 and Audi on three, with some sizes approved for more than one brand. Seventeen listings are run-flat and 12 are extra load (XL). If your current tyres show a marking, choosing the same marking keeps your car on the tyre specification its maker approved. Cars without a spare wheel should stay on run-flat tyres.
Moving to a newer Primacy
Michelin has since released the Primacy 4, which it measures directly against the Primacy 3 tread for water clearance. The Primacy 3 remains a practical option when you want to match an existing marked set across an axle. Use the vehicle or tyre size search on this page to see what fits, then book fitting at your local Bob Jane T-Marts store.
FAQs
Which cars suit the Michelin Primacy 3?
Non-run-flat sizes listed here suit models such as the Subaru Forester (225/60R17) and the Holden Commodore VE (245/45R18) on grades with those wheel sizes. The marked run-flat sizes are mainly for BMW and Mercedes-Benz sedans, wagons and SUVs specified with them. Check your tyre placard or ask a store to confirm the size, load rating and marking before you order.
How much do Michelin Primacy 3 tyres cost?
Primacy 3 tyres start from around $279 per tyre for the 205/55R16 and go up to about $601 for the 275/40R18. Price depends on size, and current pricing for each size is shown in the listing above. Prices include fitting and balancing.
Is the Primacy 3 comfortable for long highway drives?
Yes, that is the role Michelin built it for: comfortable, secure travel on commutes and long trips, with an emphasis on wet-road safety. Keep in mind that run-flat versions have stiffer sidewalls, so they can ride a little firmer than a standard tyre in the same size. It is a road tyre, so it is not intended for unsealed tracks or circuit use.
