Expert summary

100 out of 100 in rolling resistance, mileage, and EV suitability — the e.Primacy is in a class of its own when it comes to efficiency. It's also one of the quietest tyres you can buy. Just know that braking and wet cornering are average at best. A tyre for maximising range, not fun.

Expert summary

Despite its name, this tyre is focused mainly on efficiency and comfort, which is where it excels. It has got a great mileage and low exterior noise, while maintaining very safe wet characteristics. Dry braking is its weak spot, so it's better suited for drivers that value comfort and efficiency over sporty driving.
