1. Michelin still maintains a 10-year tire service technical bulletin. This statement assumes normal tire operation and maintenance, and does not take into account unforeseen circumstances which may result in early tire removal.
2. Based on internal wet braking tests from 60 and 80 km/h vs. new Goodyear® Assurance® TripleTred™ A/S tires in sizes 235/55R17 (99H) and P215/60R16 (94V), new Bridgestone® Turanza™ Serenity Plus tire in size 215/60R16 (95V); using the MICHELIN® Premier™ A/S tires in sizes 235/55R17 (99H) and 215/60R16 (95V) buffed to 5/32" of tread on a 2012 Cadillac CTS and Honda Accord vehicles. Actual on-road results may vary.
3. Safe refers to wet braking, wet handling and hydroplaning resistance when tires are new and worn to 5/32”. All tires eventually wear out and should be replaced. Half-worn PremierTM tires are safe because of EverGripTM Technology, which combines an evolving tread with a high-traction compound for enhanced wet braking capabilities.

6. Assumes that well-maintained tires last roughly 60,000 miles with 8/32nds of usable tread depth. If replaced at 2/32 instead of 4/32, each tire would yield 20,000 miles more.
