Michelin introduced two new tire lines in Vietnam: Primacy 5 Energy and Pilot Sport 5 Energy, positioned to serve gasoline, hybrid, and electric vehicles. The Primacy 5 Energy targets mass-market and family cars, while Pilot Sport 5 Energy is aimed at high-performance models. Michelin says the range was designed for a transport market increasingly shaped by hybrid and electric adoption, seeking to limit the trade-offs between performance, durability, and energy efficiency. Primacy 5 Energy carries an “AAA” EU label rating across energy efficiency, wet grip, and noise reduction, using Silent Rib Gen 3 and Piano Acoustic Tuning plus Slim Belt technology. Pilot Sport 5 Energy achieves an “AA” rating and features Dynamic Response and a dual-compound tread. Both lines use Michelin MaxTouch technology to reduce uneven wear. Sizes span 30 for Primacy 5 Energy and 20 for Pilot Sport 5 Energy, and they are available now at authorized Michelin dealers nationwide.
