Tips & Advice

Tyre
Tires, the only contact of a vehicle with the road:
  • Support all of its weight
  • Perform the acceleration, braking and steering commands
  • Absorb obstacles
Wear
All Michelin tires have tread depth indicators whose position is indicated by a Bibendum allowing a quick check of the tread depth. Michelin advises you to check it regularly.
Positioning
Michelin advises fitting the least worn tires on the rear:
  • Less risk of a spin on wet surfaces
  • Better control in difficult situations emergency stop, tight bend
Balance
Michelin recommends balancing all 4 wheels when vibrations are perceptible in the passenger compartment.
Pressure
Note: air escapes naturally from a fitted assembly. Michelin recommends checking tire pressure every month and before long trips. The check should be done on cold tires (add +4 psi if hot).
Beware: never deflate a hot tire.
Valve
The valve is an essential independent element which ensures the air tightness of the tire. Michelin advises changing it at every tire change.
Geometry
Michelin advises checking the geometry to:
  • Improve road holding
  • Increase tire life
  • Avoid irregular tire wear
  • Make fuel economy
