The Michelin XM2 is a touring and all-season tire designed for drivers who prioritize a comfortable ride and long-lasting performance. It's an ideal choice for compact and mid-size passenger vehicles, especially for those who value fuel economy, safety, and durability. With a UTQG treadwear rating of 420, the XM2 is engineered for extended mileage.
This tire incorporates a full silica compound that reduces friction between rubber particles, leading to less heat generation and reduced fuel consumption. The "Micro-Adaptive Compound" allows the tire to better adapt to road irregularities, enhancing grip. Its design includes optimum void grooves that evacuate water efficiently, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. Alternating Bridging technology reinforces the rigidity of tread blocks, further contributing to even wear.
Compared to its predecessor, the XM1+, the XM2 offers improved fuel savings due to a 10% reduction in rolling resistance. Independent testing has shown the Energy XM2 + delivers 25% more mileage compared to premium competitors. The Michelin Energy XM2+ also demonstrates shorter wet braking distances when new and when worn, offering enhanced safety throughout its lifespan. The tire's construction features robust carcass technology and reinforced sidewalls, providing resistance to damage from urban road hazards.
