Available initially in 15- to 18-inch sizes, the CrossClimate+ promises excellent traction on snow-covered roads, says Michelin, with negligible performance deterioration as the tread wears.
Jamie McWhir, customer engineering support manager at Michelin, says: “Fleets can enjoy long-term, reliable performance and grip in every road condition, including on snow-covered roads, from the second the CrossClimate+ tyres are fitted right down to their removal when they reach the statutory minimum of 1.6mm.”
The tyres are designed to counter changeable weather so the CrossClimate+ range provides the benefits of a summer tyre for dry and wet braking, energy efficiency and total mileage, while also boasting the braking performance and traction of a winter tyre on cold and snow-covered roads.
This, says Michelin, enables fleet managers to maximise uptime, safety and duty of care year-round. It also boosts vehicle uptime and cuts costs for storing ‘out of season’ tyres.
CrossClimate+ fitments will gradually replace the CrossClimate tyres, and will be available in a growing number of dimensions as the range expands.
