(1) Based on internal wet braking tests from 80 km/h using tires buffed to 3/32" remaining tread depth, in size 235/55R18 on a 2020 Toyota RAV4 where the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tire had an average stopping distance of 43.5 m against the Continental® CrossContact™ LX25, with an average stopping distance of 59.6 m, and the Goodyear® Assurance® WeatherReady®, with an average stopping distance of 60.5 m; and in size 215/55R17 on a 2019 Toyota Camry where the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tire had an average stopping distance of 55.1 m versus the Bridgestone® Turanza™ QuietTrack™, with an average stopping distance of 65.8 m, and the Continental® PureContact™ LS, with an average stopping distance of 69.4 m. Actual on-road results may vary.
(2) According to Desrosiers Automotive Consultants, average km driven per vehicle is around 22,500 km in Canada. Treadwear test performed in size 235/55R18 on 2020 Chevrolet Equinox vehicles where the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 showed an estimated life (based on calculating the most-worn groove of a rotated set) of 108,308 km versus the Continental® CrossContact™ LX25 at 93,502 km and the Goodyear® Assurance® WeatherReady® at 83,685 km; and tested in size 215/55R17 on 2016 Toyota Camry vehicles where the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tire showed an estimated life (based on calculating the most-worn groove of a rotated set) of 98,330 km versus the Bridgestone® Turanza™ QuietTrack™ at 76,121 km and the Continental® PureContact™ LS at 88,031 km. Actual on-road results may vary.
(3) Based on internal dry braking tests from 96 km/h using tires in size 235/55R18 on a 2020 Toyota RAV4 where the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tire had an average stopping distance of 34.4 m against the Continental® CrossContact™ LX25, with an average stopping distance of 36.9 m, and the Goodyear® Assurance® WeatherReady®, with an average stopping distance of 39.5 m; and in size 215/55R17 on a 2019 Toyota Camry where the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tire had an average stopping distance of 35.1 m versus the Bridgestone® Turanza™ QuietTrack™, with an average stopping distance of 37.8 m, and the Continental® PureContact™ LS, with an average stopping distance of 36.6 m. Actual on-road results may vary.
(4) Based on third-party snow traction tests using ASTM Test Method F1805-12, using tires buffed to 3/32” remaining tread depth. When compared to Standard Reference Test Tire (SRTT) in size 235/55R18, the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tire scored 93 compared to the Continental® CrossContact™ LX25 tire, which scored 63, and the Goodyear® Assurance® WeatherReady® tire which scored 65; and when compared to SRTT in size 215/55R17, the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tire scored 90 compared to the Bridgestone® Turanza™ QuietTrack™, which scored 62, and the Continental® PureContact™ LS, which scored 59. Actual on-road results may vary.
XL = Extra Load
>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 19" diameter tire on a 19.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 22" diameter tire on a 22.5" rim.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
H-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118 124 130
Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0
