All Michelin Tyres Stuff

Vehicle tyres, were originally made to provide the vehicle with traction that could go anywhere. They were developed to give the 4X4 driver excellent durability whilst also giving good wear and traction in any weather that the vehicle could come up across, including heavy snow falls.
Most tyres, were technically designed with the help of racing tyres and were derived from a “cut-chip and tear-resistant tread compound”. This would give the tyres tread exceptional grip and wear resistance when driving on roads that would normally tear tyres to shreds, such as gravel roads.

New Michelin CrossClimate Plus tyres-to bring improved through-life performance in snow

New Michelin CrossClimate Plus tyres

This is just a small example about the quality and performance that Michelin expect from their products. Hence, the already popular CrossClimate tyre is having upgrades and improvements. Thus, to the tyres quality.

Therefore the new version will be known as the “plus”. The new plus is expected to give a better performance in snowy conditions. I suspect that this for countries with tougher winter conditions than here in the UK.

This winter 2016-2017 has been very harsh in many parts of southern Europe, including Italy, Greece and snow even fell in winter sun destinations such as Benidorm on the Spanish Costa-Blanca.

This is a place that I have visited on many occasions and most drivers drive about on bald tyres, so God help them in snowy weather.

So, since I wrote this post then the Michelin Crossclimate has been very popular. Of course many drivers are importantly, fitting these tyres. Because, climate change is now bringing very heavy rain.

Crossclimates are well able to cope with the changing weather conditions.

Michelin versus Pirelli-promises tyres will make drivers ‘happy’ if it replaces Pirelli – BBC Sport

Leave a comment

Tyre company Michelin promises tyres that will let grand Prix drivers race faster if it wins the tender to supply F1 from 2017.

Michelin versus Pirelli-drivers have mixed opinions?

F1 drivers are coming out with mixed feelings for the Pirelli race tyres and a Michelin versus Pirelli is beginning to happen.

In my opinion it appears that the drivers are having to think more into their tyres, than they think necessary.

Some race pundits think this is a good thing because it brings other aspects into the races and makes winning more skillful.

The Michelin versus Pirelli confrontation came along when Michelin began to show interest in F1 racing a couple of years ago. The interest has grown as the deadline for the new F1 tyre tender becomes closer.

Michelin claim that their tyres would take the F1 racing scene back to its origins and could be up to three seconds a lap faster.

One of the recent tyre problems has been ,how many races or laps could be achieved on the same tyres.

The Michelin versus Pirelli arguments and claims will go on right up

to the tender time. Pirelli say that they have only produced the tyre that they were asked to produce. Michelin on the other hand are saying that their tyres could offer more calculated lap times per tyre.

In my opinion the race to supply the new F1 race season will hot up, with new claims and counter claims.

It will be interesting which of these tyre giants will win the Michelin versus Pirelli battle ahead to supply F1 with their tyres in the coming years.

Scenes like this will soon be the norm as we head towards winter?winter tyres time coming up

Fleet managers from UK emergency services have given the thumbs up to Michelin’s new CrossClimate tyres – the first summer tyres with winter capabilities – following a day of testing at the MIRA proving ground.

As the year flies by, it will be time again to be thinking about winter driving and winter tyres.

The guys who run our emergency services are already thinking about the winter ahead and in this article have attended a tyre trial, looking at the Michelin CrossClimate tyres.

Michelin have put much time and research into this tyre and hope that it will bridge the gap between summer and winter tyres.

Unlike other tyre manufacturers products the CrossClimate tyres are said to be a summer tyre that is also suitable for spells of cold and snowy weather.

We have already sold some of these CrossClimate tyres here in Halifax Yorkshire UK. We are in a hilly district and have many customers who fit their winter tyres every October and November.

Michelin hope that with the new CrossClimate tyres, then drivers will not have to change from summer to winter tyres every year?but i am not sure?things do not seem to end up like that in the tyre trade and i do not think that the CrossClimate will make a clean sweep of it?

The new Michelin  tyres are also attracting the attention of fleet car managers. The fleet car and van industry are always looking for other ideas that could save them money in the

The Michelin CrossClimate tyre will be a winner and a tyre worth investing in

long run. The  CrossClimate tyres will stop the need of changing the summer tyres for winter tyres and at the end of winter, the other way round. The CrossClimate tyres will do the one job.

I also believe that this will also open up opportunities for other manufacturers with a similar product. I am thinking about the excellent Nokian Winter Tyres. These are also suitable for all weathers, and i think they would also be more cost effective.
