New pothole resistant tyre from Tiger Wheel & Tyre

"The high-end technological design and robustness of the Michelin Energy XM2 is a driving force to be reckoned with," says Joe du Plooy, marketing executive of Tiger Wheel & Tyre. "This tyre has not only proved intensely adaptable to all kinds of road extremities but it also carries a one year Michelin pothole resistance guarantee."

Improved braking performance

After having undergone a series of extreme road performance tests, the Michelin Energy XM2 tyre outperforms its predecessor, the Michelin Energy Saver tyre, on extreme grip and flexibility. This means the tyre is exceedingly adaptable to unpredictable road hazards and further allows for improved braking performance.

"We are really exited about being stockists of the first of its kind, pothole resistant tyre. While the Michelin brand has always been synonymous with safety and performance, the Michelin Energy XM2 has certainly raised the bar and has taken its Michelin brand promise to the next level, with improved tyre longevity," says du Plooy.

With the incorporation of Michelin's IRONFlex technology, the new tyre ensures a more solid, more resistant and more resilient drive as it quickly absorbs abnormalities in the road. It is available in a 13 to 16 inch tyre sizes.
