The Michelin Premier A/S summer tire is part of the most technologically advanced line of tires from the French brand for passenger cars. It is characterized by a balance of driving properties, distinguishing itself with reliable grip on snow and wet surfaces, the ability to slow down intensely on any slippery surface, along with fuel efficiency and an extended service life.
The tread pattern is notable for the application of the EverGrip technology. This is a comprehensive set of solutions aimed at improving braking properties on wet surfaces and preserving them throughout the tire's service life. Its tread area is dotted with numerous lamellas. They are cut in such a way that as the tread wears, the length of the edges formed by them increases, compensating for the decrease in tread depth. The lamellas are arranged transversely with a slight incline, allowing for extremely effective realization of braking force on wet surfaces.
Another important component of the EverGrip technology is the rubber compound. It includes sunflower oil, which maintains the elasticity of the tread at low temperatures, ensuring that the lamella and block edges can more easily cut through the continuous water film.
The next distinctive feature of the tire is the "comfort control" technology. As in the previous case, this is a comprehensive set of technical solutions aimed at reducing noise and vibrations. First and foremost, this includes the calculated "digitally designed" profile of the tire's tread area, the shapes, and arrangement of elements in its tread pattern. Additional enhancement of acoustic comfort is achieved due to the precision accuracy of tire manufacturing at enormous production volumes.
Key Features of Michelin Premier A/S
- Lamellas with edges that lengthen as the tread wears provide high-intensity braking on wet surfaces throughout the tire's service life;
- The rubber compound with sunflower oil in its composition remains elastic at low temperatures, enhancing grip properties on wet and snowy surfaces;
- The optimized tread profile, the shape and arrangement of elements in its pattern, and the precision quality of manufacturing each tire minimize noise and vibrations.
