WHY ARE MICHELIN TYRES the best choice for you?
LEGAL MENTIONS
(1) MICHELIN Acoustic technology reduces perceived noise in the cabin by approximately 20% (measurement of interior noise, conducted in 2020 on a KIA Cadenza vehicle equipped with 245/45 R19 tyres. Noise level measured on the "170-230Hz" frequency). Results may vary depending on the vehicle, tyre range and size, speed, and road conditions.
(2) Agricultural Lands protection: Based on calculations and field study conducted in real conditions in 2020 in France on a tractor and trailer equipped with MICHELIN tyres. More information at https://business.michelin.co.uk/service/ctis-agricultural-tyre-inflator
(3) Aircraft: “biggest companies and constructors in the world”: Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Comac, Dassault, Embraer, Gulfstream, HondaJet, Lockheed Martin, Pilatus, Sukhoï, Textron, and others.
(4) Urban rail transportation: "Michelin contributes every day to the movement of more than 10 million people around the world": Sum of the daily average number of passengers using metros equipped with MICHELIN tyres - MICHELIN internal study 2018-19.
(5) Space exploration: Wheel prototype potentially for use in moon rovers, as part of NASA's ARTEMIS project. Michelin is part of the Moon Racer team, led by Intuitive Machines, which also includes AVL, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman Corporation.
(6) Maritime travel: Wisamo is a sail propulsion system designed to reduce the carbon footprint of maritime transport; currently in testing phase with two prototypes in real maritime conditions. More information at https://wisamo.michelin.com/maritime-transport
(7) Medical: belt prototype. More information at https://www.ottobock.com/en-ex/product/1A1-2
(8) Trust your tyres for longer: Michelin most iconic tyre ranges have increased their longevity vs. their previous generation. Results based on tests done by DEKRA, upon Michelin's request, for the following tyrelines: MICHELIN Pilot Sport 5 (test 2021 on 225/40 R18), MICHELIN Pilot Alpin 5 (test 2018 on 225/40 R18), MICHELIN Primacy 5 (test 2024 on 235/45 R18), MICHELIN CrossClimate 3 (test 2025 on 205/55 R16), MICHELIN CrossClimate 2 (test 2020 on 225/45 R17) & MICHELIN CrossClimate 2 SUV (test 2021 on 235/60R18)
