In May 2015, Michelin will launch its CrossClimate tyre in Europe, the first summer tyre with winter certification.

The new CrossClimate is the fusion of summer and winter tyre technology – technologies which until now were thought to be incompatible.

The new CrossClimate delivers safety with simplicity and economy. The motorist can drive throughout the year, regardless of weather variations, with just one set of tyres/

The CrossClimate is a truly innovative tyre as it adapts to different climatic situations. It is the only tyre which combines the advantages of summer tyres and winter tyres.

It brakes in short distances on dry ground.

It has the highest European label rating of  “A” for wet braking.

It is certified for winter use, identifiable by the 3PMSF (3-Peak Mountain Snow Flake) symbol on the sidewall of the tyre. This means it can even be used in countries where fitting winter tyres is a legal requirement.

The CrossClimate tyre is the epitome of the Michelin Total Performance ethos: one tyre with summer performance, winter performance, energy efficiency and comfort. The CrossClimate is a stunning addition to Michelin’s existing catalogue of summer and winter tyre ranges – the latter still being important in certain markets and under certain conditions.
