About this tread
**Primacy HP** (High Performance) is Michelin's discontinued premium summer tyre that was designed for high-powered sedans and coupes requiring precise handling at higher speeds. It combined responsive steering feedback with strong wet braking performance through its silica-based compound and asymmetric tread pattern. The tyre offered a balance of sporty road feel and touring comfort that appealed to drivers of premium vehicles. Succeeded by the [Primacy 3](/en/tread/primacy-3), it remains available only as residual stock in very limited sizes.
