Energy Saver and Primacy HP tyres given highest rating from ADAC

Michelin’s Energy Saver and Primacy HP tyres have been awarded the highest rating in tests conducted by the German Automobile Association (ADAC), Europe’s largest auto club. Both tyres received a “highly recommendable” rating and these two tyres represent 85% of the summer car tyres produced by the Michelin Group.

Carried out by ADAC and its Austrian and Swiss counterparts – Österreichischer Automobil Motorrad und Touring Club (ÖAMTC) and Touring Club Suisse (TCS) – the comparative test involved 18 different 185/60 R 14 H-rated tyres and 19 tyres in the 205/55 R 16 W-rated size.

Performance was measured in five major areas: dry grip, wet grip, fuel consumption, longevity and comfort (including noise). The top overall three-star rating awarded to both the Michelin Energy Saver and Primacy HP reflects the two tyres’ excellent performance in each of the categories. Among the tyres awarded three stars, the two Michelin tyres received the highest scores in terms of longevity and fuel efficiency, demonstrating their superiority in helping to vehicle reduce running costs.

The results of the ADAC tests reflect the validity of the Michelin Group’s approach to technology, which consists of simultaneously improving different areas of tyre performance. And therein lies the strength of Michelin’s capacity for innovation; its ability to deliver the highest levels of energy efficiency, safety and longevity in a single tyre.

These latest tests demonstrate that the Michelin Energy Saver and Primacy HP tyres fully reflect the Michelin brand’s strategy, which is to provide all users with safe, sustainable mobility.
