Let Michelin take you home safely this Chinese New Year
The Year of the Rooster promises luxury, beauty and wealth to all and that’s why we at Michelin want to make your journey back home to treasured moments this CNY a safe, smooth and economical one.
Our MICHELIN Energy XM2 tyre has been proven to give 20% more mileage than other leading brands out there and our MICHELIN Primacy 3 ST has 25% better longevity than its previous generation which is ideal for those who plan on traveling long distances.
Your tyres are what secure your car to the road and this is why it’s very important for you to read the rubber. Inspect your tyres for any tears or bulges on the side wall. Your tyres should also have a good amount of tread that is deep enough to ensure adequate traction in the wet. One way to measure this is to place a 20 cent coin in between the tread.
If the word "SEN" is clearly visible, you will need new tyres to ensure excellent grip in all weather conditions. The MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 is one of the best options available when it comes to road-holding in wet conditions and shorter braking distance on wet roads without compromising performance and comfort.
Another must do before you start your journey back to your ‘kampung’ this CNY is to check the pressure of your tyres. A very important point to note here is that the number on the tyre's side is the maximum pressure it can withstand and is not the recommended amount, which is actially located on a sticker at the driver’s door inner sil
Your tyres should be a little less inflated in cooler weather or rainy season and closer to their maximum in hotter weather or dry season. But be careful to never inflate your tyres too much as this could cause overinflation and compromised grip. And finally, don't forget about that life-saving thing known as the spare tyre.
Acoustics of your tyre is also an important factor to determine a quiet and smooth ride, and at being 8% quieter than average of leading brands out there, the MICHELIN Primacy 3 ST is the best choice for luxury touring vehicles. Plus, the Primacy 3 ST has 25% better endurance when compared to previous generation Primacy LC tyres.
