Michelin Advises Drivers to Keep Tyres to Legal Limit for Savings and Sustainability
Michelin, a leading tyre manufacturer, has advised car owners to keep their tyres until they reach the legal limit of 1.6mm tread depth. The company argues that this can provide an extra 30% of useful life and significant savings for car owners.
Michelin's CrossClimate tyres, for instance, are summer tyres certified for winter use in countries where winter tyres are compulsory. The company guarantees that its tyres perform well even at the legal limit of 1.6mm tread depth. By following Michelin's advice, drivers can potentially save money and reduce their environmental impact, as keeping tyres longer reduces manufacturing's impact on the environment.
Michelin's Premier A/S tyres with EverGrip technology promise better grip when worn, ensuring safety even as tyres approach the legal limit. These tyres are designed to last up to 60,000 miles. The company's recommendation suggests that other tyre manufacturers may be encouraging unnecessary tyre changes for profit.
Michelin's advice to keep tyres until they reach the legal limit of 1.6mm tread depth offers a balance between safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental responsibility. By following this advice, car owners can extend the life of their tyres, save money, and reduce their carbon footprint.
