FAQs about Michelin & Awards
This recognition reflects decades of investment in research and development. At Michelin, innovation is never an end in itself: it's aimed at producing safer, longer-lasting and higher-performing tyres. The awards earned from independent test reviews across Europe confirm, from an external standpoint, that these efforts translate into genuinely high-quality products.
Yes. These are automotive media outlets and specialist test publications, fully independent of Michelin: ADAC (Germany), Auto Bild (and its various editions), Auto Express, Tyre Reviews, What Car, EVO, and Vi Bilägare, among others. Each organisation runs its own testing protocols (braking, grip, wear, wet-road handling, etc.) without any involvement from Michelin in the methodology or the results.
This is an accolade presented at the Tyre Technology Expo, one of the most influential trade events in the European tyre industry. A jury of more than 25 independent industry experts recognised the Primacy 5 for its strong overall balance of performance (safety, comfort, longevity). It's a technical recognition, awarded by industry peers rather than a public-facing jury. For more information, visit www.tiretechnology-expo.com
Beyond marketing value, these tests assess very concrete criteria for daily use: braking distance, wet-road grip, comfort, and longevity. A tyre that consistently earns podium finishes in these tests has therefore demonstrated, independently, its reliability on the factors that genuinely matter for driving safety and comfort.
Premium car brands choose MICHELIN tyres for their reliability, performance under various conditions, and the brand's reputation for excellence in tyre manufacturing. Read more here: https://www.michelin.co.uk/why-michelin/partnership
MICHELIN tyres consistently perform well in independent tests due to their quality, innovative technology, and commitment to safety and longevity.
