Fuel saving
Your tyres consume one fifth of your car’s fuel. New Michelin Energy XM1 contains innovative Energy Green X™ silica compounds which reduce the amount of energy required to push your car, saving fuel and the environment by reducing car emissions.

Smooth handling
Michelin Energy XM1 delivers smooth, confident control, at all speeds. With the second generation of Stress Equilibrium Construction (SECII) technology, a revolutionary network of internal wirings, ensures tyre stability. Flexible sidewalls provide vertical cushioning, ensuring premium comfort over all road surfaces.

Mileage
Drive on Michelin Energy XM1 and change tyres less often. SECII technology stabilises overall tyre wear. A contact patch with the road surface which is square and generates even pressure distribution allows the tread to wear more evenly giving longer life.

Strong as steel
Energy XM1 is strengthened by two full-width steel belts plus another Michelin first, BAZ™ technology. A special nylon wrapping, it secures the steel belts, helping to counter centrifugal forces and to control the tyre’s shape, producing more predictable handling at all speeds.

Performance safety
Larger tread blocks on the shoulder deliver excellent safe handling and cornering power. A higher groove ratio on the inside of the tyre provides multiple channels to wipe away road water to deliver maximum grip. The addition of the Energy Green X™ compound also enhances wet traction. Experience safety and control, whatever the weather.

Radial XSE Technology Green X™
Pioneered by Michelin, this breakthrough ‘green’ technology is still the standard to beat. A special silica based compound that reduces rolling resistance, Green X™ increases fuel efficiency and decreases pollution, without sacrificing any performance, tyre life or comfort.
