Michelin Premier LTX Tires
The Michelin Premier LTX is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The tire upgrades the all weather performance. The model greatly upgrades the all season traction by utilizing a sunflower oil infused silica compound and the ideal tread design with the siping placement. This combination guarantees the tire’s dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface. The strengthened silica compound enables the tire to optimize the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, while the tread design upgrades the grip on the road surface during its performance. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. As a result, the tire promotes a secure year round performing capability.
The tire also ensures a fuel efficient performance. The sunflower oil and silica compound ease the pressure off the tire and minimize the rolling resistance by enhancing the traction. The rolling resistance is the pressure which determines the vehicle’s fuel consumption in order to maintain motion. Minimizing the rolling resistance lowers the vehicle’s fuel intake and CO2 emissions, resulting in a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience.
The Michelin Premier LTX also improves the controllability. The reinforced sidewall structure and the ideal surface contact work together to upgrade the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver’s instructions, while the structural stability is maintained throughout the tire’s performance. The model’s special EverGrip Technology and the durable compound manage to increase the braking power. This combination allows the tire to increase the braking power by generating friction between the tire and the road surface, greatly shortening the braking distance. This ensures the tire’s secure performance.
This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Volkswagen vehicles.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
