ENERGY XM2
Feature and benefits
ROBUSTNESS
The increased robustness of the Michelin® Energy™ XM2 tyre reduces the risk of damage which could lead to a “blowout”. This, combined with the special tread rubber formulation, has a double impact on increasing tyre life. The new rubber technology also reduces braking distance thus helping to avoid collisions.
LONGEVITY - ALTERNATING BRIDGING TECHNOLOGY
Alternating bridging technology reinforces the rigidity of tread blocks. With increased rigidity, the tread blocks move less freely, reducing the rate of tyre wear.
SIPES WITH ALTERNATING BRIDGE
This “bridge“ connection between tread blocks limits their flexibility, preventing rapid tyre wear without compromising on wet grip.
SAFETY - MICRO-ADAPTIVE COMPOUND
The tread compound of the Michelin® Energy™ XM2 is more flexible. It better adapts itself to the irregularities of the road surface and therefore guarantees excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions. WIDE TREAD GROOVES; Thanks to the wider grooves of the Michelin® Energy™ XM2, a greater volume of water can be evacuated, improving grip in the wet and reducing the risk of hydroplaning. MICHELIN® EnergyTM XM2 Stops 1.7 meters shorter than the average of competitors. When Michelin® Energy™ XM2 stops, the average of competitors is still at a speed of 20 km/h.
