About Michelin Primacy SUV plus 265/70 R18 116H

Wet-Road Performance

The Primacy SUV+ uses Michelin EverGrip Technologies with U-shaped grooves and full-depth sipes to help evacuate water from the contact area. This tread design is intended to maintain wet grip and braking performance as the tyre wears.

Wet Braking

Michelin positions the Primacy SUV+ around strong wet-braking performance from new through the later stages of tread wear. The tread compound and groove configuration help maintain contact with the road and reduce the effect of standing water during wet-weather driving.

Dry-Road Handling

On dry roads, chamfered tread blocks and StabiliGrip sipes help stabilise the tread pattern and maintain road contact. The result is predictable braking and controlled handling for normal SUV driving on urban roads and highways.

Ride Comfort and Noise

The Primacy SUV+ is designed as a road-focused SUV tyre, with its construction and tread layout aimed at providing a refined driving experience. The 70-series profile also provides a relatively substantial sidewall for absorbing everyday road irregularities.

Rolling Resistance

This specific 265/70 R18 version is designed primarily for road and highway SUV use. Michelin's MaxTouch Construction distributes forces more evenly across the contact patch, supporting uniform wear and efficient use of the tread over extended driving.

Summer Road Use

The Michelin Primacy SUV+ is classified as a summer tyre. It is intended for paved-road driving in warm and moderate conditions, with its design focused on wet and dry braking, highway stability, comfort, and longevity rather than severe off-road use.

Load Capacity

The 116 load index corresponds to a maximum rated load of 1,250 kg per tyre. This makes the 265/70 R18 116H specification suitable for SUVs requiring a relatively high load capacity within this size category.

H Speed Rating

The H speed rating allows a maximum rated speed of 210 km/h, subject to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications, tyre condition, inflation pressure, load, and applicable road regulations.

Vehicle Compatibility

This tyre is designed for SUVs and crossover-type vehicles using the 265/70 R18 116H specification. Vehicle compatibility should always be confirmed against the vehicle manufacturer's approved tyre size, load index, speed rating, and axle requirements before installation.
