The last mile? That's when your tyre's tread will have actually reached the wear indicator threshold.
All MICHELIN ranges are designed to combine an excellent longevity and an excellent level of performance until the last mile.
As an example, with our MICHELIN Primacy4, MICHELIN CrossClimate2 and MICHELIN Alpin6ranges, we provide drivers with optimum safety right up to the very last mile.
Why do we do this? Because these new generations of tyres have an evolving tread pattern that allows the tyre to maintain its performance right to the end, even when worn.
They prevent aquaplaning even with heavy wear
To avoid aquaplaning (loss of control when driving on a wet road), water must be stored in the treads of the tyre before it is drained off at the rear and sides.
As the tyre wears, there are fewer raised treads and therefore fewer places to store water. In this case, the tyre rises with a layer of water between the tyre and the road. This results in a loss of grip and therefore a loss of stability and control.
Michelin's evolving tread pattern ensures that the tyre continues to store and evacuate water correctly until the end of the tyre's life, thus avoiding the phenomenon of aquaplaning.
