We all know how temperamental the weather is in the British Isles. Just this month, we’ve seen everything from torrential rain to snow and even gorgeous sunny spells, with temperatures varying wildly from -6℃ in some areas up to a comparatively balmy 12℃ but a week later.
In the UK, therefore, your vehicle is under constant strain to perform both well and safely. As an essential part of your vehicle, ensuring that you have the best tyres for the weather-related challenges the British climate poses is pivotal. Here, we’ll be showing you why Michelin Cross Climate tyres are the best choice for dealing with our haphazard weather!
Complete Safety in All Weather Conditions
Michelin’s Cross Climate tyres are perfectly designed to deal with all types of weather. In snow, these tyres will ensure you’re never stuck in the snow thanks to their winter certification 3PMSF. In addition, Cross Climate tyres boast an ‘A’ grade wet grip rating and are supreme when it comes to dry braking. All of this and more means that with Michelin Cross Climate tyres you’re guaranteed a set of phenomenally safe tyres for your vehicle.
A Highly Praised, Durable Tyre
Michelin aren’t only renowned for the safety features of their tyres; Michelin Cross Climate tyres are also of exceptionally durable quality! On average, these tyres last 6,430 km (3,995 miles) longer than other competitor brands.
It is for this reason and more besides that Michelin Cross Climate tyres were bestowed the Best New Product award by Van Fleet Honours 2016 in the UK. The title was awarded to the product or service that showed the greatest innovation, and Cross Climate tyres certainly are innovative!
The Science Behind Cross Climate
Michelin’s engineers set about taking the best of both summer and winter tyres and combining them into one all-purpose tyre, suitable for all seasons and climates. Successfully fusing summer and winter technologies, a new compound mix was achieved. Cross Climate tyres, therefore, offer excellent grip in all weather conditions and are also optimised to improve fuel consumption.
Additionally, the combination of a unique V-shaped tread pattern on the tyre surface has been combined with a new 3D self-locking sipe design. As a result, traction in both snowy and dry conditions is impeccable.
Perilous braking is no longer an issue, either. An innovative partnering of bevel-edged tread blocks with high performance sipes ensures effective dry braking while maintaining great levels of snow braking and traction.
