Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, the MICHELIN Primacy 5 Energy must be installed by a professional technician to ensure proper mounting and balancing. Check your vehicle's manual or the driver-side door jamb for the recommended `tire pressure` settings, as maintaining the correct PSI is critical for both the longevity of the tyre and the fuel/energy efficiency benefits. Periodically inspect the tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns, which may indicate a need for wheel alignment or suspension maintenance. Always rotate your tyres according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended schedule.
