(1) - Balance of performance - Balance of performance proven by tests conducted in 2020 and 2021 on dry braking, wet braking new and worn, snow braking new and worn, snow traction new and worn, longevity - see test details in legal mentions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE 2 SUV grabs 8 leading positions out of 8 tests versus MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE SUV. Legal wear limit or "worn" mean when worn on machine (buffed) to the depth of Tread Wear Indicator according to European regulation: ECE R30r03f.
(2) - Snow braking test - Snow braking tests, conducted by TÜV SÜD Product Service on Michelin's request, between 50 and 0 kph, October 2021 – January 2022 (on new and on 2mm buffed), on dimension 235/60 R18 107V and 107W on Audi Q5 40TDI 204hp, Audi Q5 50TFSIe 300hp comparing MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE 2 SUV (new: 30.5m - worn: 38.4m) versus MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE SUV (new: 33.8m - worn: 45.4m). Extrapolation from 30-10 km/h to 50-0 km/h is based on the mean decelerations resulting from the measured braking distances achieved in the actual tests.
(3) - Snow traction test - Snow traction tests, conducted by TÜV SÜD Product Service on Michelin's request, between 5 to 30 kph, October 2021 – January 2022 (on new and on 2mm buffed), on dimension 235/60 R18 107V and 107W on Audi Q5 40TDI 204hp, Audi Q5 50TFSIe 300hp comparing MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE 2 SUV (new: 100% - worn: 100%) versus MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE SUV (new: 94% - worn: 85.1%). Calculations based on the mean accelerations resulting from the measured acceleration times from 5-30 km/h achieved in the actual tests.
(4) - Wet braking tests - Wet braking tests, conducted by TÜV SÜD Product Service on Michelin's request, between 80 and 20 kph, October 2021 – January 2022 (on new and on 2mm buffed), on dimension 235/60 R18 107V and 107W on Audi Q5 40TDI 204hp, Audi Q5 50TFSIe 300hp comparing MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE 2 SUV (new: 26.5m - worn: 37.3m) versus MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE SUV (new: 28.9m - worn: 38.1m). Average of the performance on high and low μ wet surface with two different temperature ranges each.
(5) - Dry braking test - Dry braking tests, conducted by TÜV SÜD Product Service on Michelin's request, between 100 and 0 kph, October 2021 – January 2022, on dimension 235/60 R18 107V and 107W on Audi Q5 40TDI 204hp, Audi Q5 50TFSIe 300hp comparing MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE 2 SUV (34.7m) versus MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE SUV (34.8m).
(6) - Longevity - Longevity test conducted by DEKRA TEST CENTER, on Michelin's request, January 2022, on dimension 235/60 R18 107V and 107W on HYUNDAI Santa Fé 2.2 l. CRDI comparing MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE 2 SUV (est. 34,093 km) versus MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE SUV (est. minus 7,296 km). Longevity test run in average real usage (D50) with 11,568 km run and extrapolated longevity at 1.6mm.
