Of course, as tyres are made from rubber compounds, the tyre tread will inevitably wear down over time due to a variety of factors including vehicle type (Hybrid, electric, or petrol cars), driver behaviour, climate, temperature, the roughness of the road surface, the mechanical condition of the vehicle (camber settings, wheel alignment, wheel balance, suspension, transmission…), maintenance, tyre pressure…
The latest MICHELIN tyres are designed to deliver excellent longevity and high levels of performance from the first to the last kilometer* throughout the tyre’s life. That’s what, at Michelin, we call “Performance made to last”!
When worn tyres reach a certain point, it is no longer legal to drive on them. In the UK, cars fail the MOTs if the tyres are too worn. So, it's important to know how to properly check the remaining tread on a car's tyres.
*The following tyre lines are designed to offer high level of longevity and performance that lasts: MICHELIN CrossClimate², MICHELIN Primacy 4+, MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 , MICHELIN Alpin 6 and MICHELIN Pilot Alpin 5.
