Michelin brought the first \green tyre\? onto the market back in 1992, when it largely replaced technical carbon black with silica. This reduced rolling resistance and brought fuel consumption down to an acceptable level. For the Michelin
Energy Saver the French tyre manufacturer has once again used a silica-rubber compound that contains almost no technical carbon black. However, the
Energy Saver does not just provide enormous savings on fuel it also has a multitude of other characteristics such as good braking performance on wet roads, for which the tread compound is also responsible. The compound ensures that the tread of the Michelin
Energy Saver remains rigid throughout its lifetime.The Michelin
Energy Saver?s impressive features include: - Reduced fuel consumption- High running time- Good road behaviour- Good grip- Short braking distances on wet roadsCompared to its predecessor, the Michelin
Energy Saver reduces the braking distance by up to three metres, as TÜV Süd Automotive 2007 discovered in their tyre comparison test. Another of the summer tyre?s attractive characteristics is its long lifetime, which means there is less need to recycle tyres, therefore also helping to protect the environment. The
Energy Save is sold with the speed index V, which means that the tyre?s top speed is a nippy 240 kph (150 mph).
