1 Based on U.S. Department of Transportation Average Annual Miles per driver (13,500 miles) and Desrosiers Automotive Consultants estimate of annual average kilometres driven in Canada (23,000 km), and on a treadwear test using tires in size 225/65R17 on 2021 Toyota RAV4s where the MICHELIN® Defender®2 showed an estimated life (based on calculating the most-worn groove of a rotated set) of 151,200 km versus the Bridgestone® Alenza® AS Ultra at 76,400 km and the Continental® TrueContact™ Tour at 95,100 km and the Goodyear® Assurance® MaxLife™ at 83,200 km. Actual on-road results may vary.
2 Based on internal wet braking tests from 80 km/h and internal dry braking tests from 97 km/h using tires in size 225/65R17 on a 2021 Toyota RAV4, where the MICHELIN® Defender®2 tire had an average stopping distance of 39.6 m wet and 36.8 m dry versus the Bridgestone® Alenza® AS Ultra with an average stopping distance of 38.9 m wet and 38.3 m dry and the Continental® TrueContact™ Tour with an average stopping distance of 44.3 m wet and 39.4 m dry and the Goodyear® Assurance® MaxLife™ with an average stopping distance of 40.8 m wet and 38.1 m dry. Actual on-road results may vary.
1 Based on an internal treadwear test conducted on public roads comparing MICHELIN® PILOT® Sport All Season 4 versus the Bridgestone® Potenza™ RE980AS Pole Position™ (-29%), Continental® ExtremeContact™ DWS06 (-12%), Pirelli® P ZERO™ ALL SEASON Plus (-25%), and Goodyear® Eagle® Exhilarate™ (-23%) in tire size 245/40ZR18, using a 2018 BMW 320i. Actual on-road results may vary.
2 4% better dry braking, 5% better wet braking, and 10% more snow traction compared to the MICHELIN® PILOT® Sport A/S 3+. Based on internal braking and snow tests conducted in tire size 245/40ZR18, using a 2015 BMW 328i. Actual on-road results may vary.
† While all-season tires are designed to provide reliable performance in moderate winter conditions, the use of four winter tires is recommended for optimal performance and may be mandatory in certain jurisdictions.
2 While the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tire meets the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC) requirements and has the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, it is not designed for extreme winter road conditions like ice; the use of four winter tire is recommended for optimal performance.© 2024 MNA(C)I.
