Michelin has just launched the new Energy XM2+ tyre for the Malaysian market. Targeted at budget-conscious consumers, the new product is designed for fitment to small- and mid-size passenger cars. Cars like the Honda City, Perodua Myvi, Nissan Almera, Toyota Vios and Proton Persona.
Featuring a new full-silica rubber compound, the Energy XM2+ provides shorter wet braking distances by 1.5 meters when brand new, and by 2.6 meters when worn (claims by Michelin), compared to the average of other premium tyre manufacturers.
The tyre also offers longer mileage (Michelin claims) that outlasts other premium tyre manufacturers by 25%.
According to Pascal Nouvellon, Managing Director of Michelin Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei, the ‘+’ sign on the sidewall denotes the rubber compound upgrade that is behind its braking superiority while the green ‘X’ marking of its that is carried over, indicates optimized fuel savings.
In Malaysia, the new Energy XM2+ is now available at Tyreplus and all Michelin authorized dealers across the nation in 32 sizes, from 14- to 16-inch diameter. Visit your preferred and trusted tyre dealer and get their price and of course, their advice before investing in any new tyre.
