About This Tire

The Michelin Primacy 3 ZP 245/40R19 is a grand touring summer run-flat tire, designed for luxury sedan and coupe drivers who prioritize sophisticated handling and emergency mobility in warm-weather driving. Its run-flat construction and advanced tread compound focus on delivering reliable wet and dry traction while maintaining the ability to travel up to 50 miles at 50 mph after complete air pressure loss.

The tire features Michelin's Zero Pressure (ZP) technology with reinforced sidewalls that support the vehicle's weight even when deflated, eliminating the immediate need for roadside tire changes. The tread design incorporates silica-enhanced compounds optimized for summer conditions, with circumferential grooves and lateral sipes that channel water effectively. Driver feedback points to confident handling in both wet and dry conditions, with notable comfort levels and responsive steering feel that drivers appreciate in daily driving.

Compared to standard summer tires, it adds run-flat emergency mobility while maintaining performance-oriented handling characteristics. Overall, it's a solid choice for luxury vehicles used primarily for highway and urban driving in temperatures above freezing.
