LAVAL, QC, Oct. 4, 2023 /CNW/ - As the light truck market continues to evolve and luxury vehicles push the capabilities of what heavy duty trucks can offer, Michelin is launching the new Defender LTX M/S2 and Defender LTX Platinum tires to provide consumers reliable traction in demanding conditions.
“As the market continues to change with the development of more hybrids and EVs, Michelin continues to be an industry leader for confident and lasting performance,” said Omer Waysman, vice president of marketing for Michelin North America, Inc.’s business-to-consumer products. “When fuel efficiency and extended range matter, consumers can trust the e.Primacy All-Season tire to take them further on every journey.”
As a trusted original equipment tire line, the Michelin e.Primacy All-Season tire is up to 25 per cent more efficient than two leading competitor products, providing up to 32 more kilometers of battery range and saving you a tank of gas annually.2 3 By using the GreenPower Compound, the tire is designed to help reduce energy consumption during everyday use and delivers long-lasting mileage.
The e.Primacy All-Season tire endured extensive testing and development; even when tested on an EV, the Michelin e.Primacy All-Season tire is expected to last up to 21,000 kilometers longer than two leading competitors, potentially adding an extra year of driving.4
Whether it’s an ICE, Hybrid or EV, Michelin innovations provide a refined driving experience for all drivers by delivering a comfortable and quiet ride.

1. Based on Federal Highway Administration Average Annual Miles of 13,476 miles per driver (published in 2022) and a treadwear test using tires in size 235/40R19 on 2024 Tesla Model 3, the Michelin e.Primacy All Season tire showed an estimated life (based on calculating the most-worn groove of a rotated set) of 45,764 miles (73,650KM) versus the Bridgestone Turanza™ EV tire at 30,244 miles (48,673KM) and the Continental ProContact RX tire at 32,438 miles (52,204KM). Actual on-road results may vary with driving style, temperature, driver selected vehicle settings, and road conditions.
2. Based on internal test results on ISO 28580 Rolling Resistance Test which included tires in dimension 235/40R19 96W, comparing Michelin e·Primacy All Season tire (6.46kg/ton) versus Continental ProContact RX T0 tire (7.24kg/ton) and Bridgestone Turanza ™ EV tire (8.75kg/ton). Actual on-road results may vary with driving style, temperature, driver selected vehicle settings, and road conditions. Additional calculations were conducted on the USTR 781 test data to compute the effect the rolling resistance figures would have on vehicle range for 2024 Tesla Model 3 RWD BEV and a 2024 BMW M3 gas vehicle. Calculations result in a fuel consumption reduction of up to 3.1% for a 2024 BMW M3 or equivalent gain of up to 8.9% in battery range for a 2024 Tesla Model 3 RWD.
