Michelin introduces its all-season Energy Saver tire!

Michelin is taking advantage of the international window provided by the Detroit Auto Show to launch its Energy Saver all-season tire technology designed for passenger cars travelling under 16,000 km per year. The tire is part of the Green X range and will likely be marketed during the summer of 2009.

Michelin Energy Saver

With the Energy Saver technology, Michelin's engineers will enable consumers to reduce their fuel consumption by way of a lower rolling resistance while maintaining all the essential safety characteristics of the tire, such as braking on wet pavement.

The Green X range includes a wide variety of tires ensuring, as their name suggests, fuel-efficiency and low CO2 emissions:

- The Michelin HydroEdge for passenger cars features a 140,000-km manufacturer's guarantee, a modern design and exceptional performance on wet roads.

- The Michelin X-Ice® Xi2 for cars and SUVs is the best winter tire available.

- The Michelin Energy TM MXV4® for passenger cars ensures good performance in all seasons.
- The Michelin Primacy TM MXV4® strikes a balance between handling and comfort, no matter the conditions, and features a 100,000-km guarantee.
