Department of Transportation's average annual mileage per driver. In the cited comparison, tread life was 11 to 23% longer than that of the Continental CrossContact LX25 and PureContact LS, Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady, and Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack. Its directional V-formation tread is designed for rain and snow traction, dry handling and even wear, including when worn.

The rubber compound and 3D-SipeLock tread design distribute forces for grip and tread life. Michelin says its PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning makes road noise as quiet as or quieter than the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack in internal tests. The directional pattern provides an installation cue; periodic front-to-back rotations support even wear.

Michelin also claims all-season performance on electric vehicles.
