Developed to outperform its previous generation in wet braking, the Energy XM2+ offers ultimate safety – both when new and throughout its useful life.
Michelin recently unveiled the Michelin Energy XM2+ with the tagline: ‘Your Stopping Superpower’. Targeting young and budget-conscious consumers who look for a tyre with safety and performance that last, the Energy XM2+ is seen as the ideal fitment for small- and mid-size passenger cars. Developed to outperform its previous generation in wet braking, Michelin says the Energy XM2+ offers ultimate safety – both when new and throughout its useful life.
Managing Director of Michelin Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei, Pascal Nouvellon, said: “The Michelin Energy XM2+ improves on its predecessor – Michelin Energy XM2, which has been a leading mass-market tyre for 8 consecutive years – in various aspects. Its performance is made to last. Indeed, the tyre’s ‘Stopping Superpower’ is preserved at a high level, even when the tyre has been used for a long time. As its advertising campaign goes, Michelin Energy XM2+ is like a ‘Stopping Superpower’ keeping consumers safe and confident on the road, time after time.”
With a new full-silica rubber compound, Michelin says the Energy XM2+ provides shorter wet braking distances by 1.5 metres when new, and by 2.6 metres when worn, compared to the average of other premium tyre manufacturers. The tyre also offers a longer mileage that outlasts other premium tyre manufacturers by 25 per cent.
“The ‘+’ sign on the sidewall denotes the rubber compound upgrade that is behind the braking superiority of the Michelin Energy XM2+ versus its predecessor. The tyre also maintains the Green ‘X’ marking of its predecessor, indicating optimised fuel savings. We hope the combination of enhanced safety and superior value-for-money would appeal particularly to the younger consumers,” added Nouvellon.
In Malaysia, the new Michelin Energy XM2+ is available at Tyreplus and all Michelin authorised dealers across the nation in 32 sizes, from 14- to 16-inch diameter. For more information, visit www.michelin.com.my.
