Michelin used it's Zero Pressure (ZP) technology in manufacturing this tire, which makes it able to temporarily support the weight of the vehicle after the loss of air pressure. The tire can go for 50 miles at up to 50 mph after a puncture, as the ZP structure and the reinforced sidewalls support the weight of the vehicle and passengers.

The tire's symmetrical tread pattern and special summer tire compound offer an enhanced grip on dry and wet road conditions. This model, however, is not suited to winter weather and low temperatures. The tire's circumferential and lateral grooves channel water from beneath the footprint. This helps it resist dangerous hydroplaning and makes it safer to use.

This increases the tread life, but the reduced rolling resistance also contributes as it slows down the tire's wear rate. The Green X Technology lowers the rolling resistance, lessening the vehicles fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The model becomes economically and environmentally friendly.

This new compound also enhances steering response and road feel. This enables the driver to respond to the changing road surface, conditions and situations easily and quickly, making the tire safer to use. The tire's high speed handling is also boosted with this enhancement.

This improves the tire's comfort levels, making it the perfect touring tire.
