Michelin has made further strides in promoting safe driving in all weather conditions by extending its highly-acclaimed CrossClimate tyre range into the light truck and van market.

Billed as a summer tyre with full winter capabilities, features of the new Agilis CrossClimate are said to include high mileage, robustness, damage resistance and long lasting performance, equating to low total cost of ownership.

Michelin claims rigorous tests show mobility isn¹t compromised in wintry conditions. The tyre is 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Snowflake)  winter certified for use on snowy roads and is believed to also perform well on muddy and grassy surfaces ¬ ideal for Irish vans.
 
Commenting, Jonathan Layton, Michelin’s Head of Fleet in Ireland and the UK, said: “The introduction of Agilis CrossClimate solves the problem of wintry conditions bringing a van or light truck fleet to its knees and eradicates the expense of buying different sets of winter and summer tyres.

“This is a highly capable tyre that can handle the demands of safe driving on wintry surfaces, mud and grass, but still behaves, brakes and boasts the long lasting performance of Michelin’s summer tyre range on dry and wet roads.”
