How GREEN X Tyres
save fuel:
Do you know that tyres can account for up to 20 per cent of the fuel you use?
By making the right tyre choice you can cut your fuel bill significantly.
What is GREEN X?
Since the introduction of the first MICHELIN ENERGY tyre in 1992, Michelin has established itself as a market leader in fuel saving technology. The MICHELIN GREEN X marking is your guarantee the tyre has met the high rolling resistance standards set by Michelin. It is a sign of Michelin’s commitment to reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, whilst maintaining longevity and safety. By using specially designed compounds that include silica, MICHELIN ENERGY tyres have a lower rolling resistance which means they require less energy to move the vehicle. This translates to your car using less fuel.
This is achieved by the silica in the rubber compound reducing the friction between the rubber particles, generating less heat. With less heat generated, less energy is lost thus reducing fuel consumption.
It’s not just about saving fuel – Michelin delivers the balance of performance.
Thanks to Michelin’s new and advanced technology, they have been able to develop tyres that do not sacrifice any performance. In addition to saving you fuel, MICHELIN ENERGY tyres are also long lasting and have high grip levels, meaning they are safe in all road conditions.
