Michelin LTX A/T2. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Longer lasting tread life; All weather traction; Puncture resistance; All terrain traction; Lowered fuel consumption; . OVERVIEW: The Michelin LTX A/T2 is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Michelin offers a 60,000 mile warranty for this tire model.This all season tire has excellent all weather traction and it grips the road well even in light snow conditions. The tire's specially designed tread pattern, with its delicate sipes, and the tire compound offer extra traction in all weather road conditions, including in lower temperatures. The wide circumferential grooves in the tread help resist dangerous hydroplaning by channeling water from beneath the tire's footprint. This allows the tire to be safely used in all weather situations.Michelin's Biting Edges Technology offers additional grip in all kinds of road conditions, making the model great for all terrain driving. The tire has superb traction, even on loose and uneven surfaces, and will conquer all of them easily. Its internal structure makes the tire resistant to damage and accidental punctures, which enhances its usability in off-road situations. This model withstands the pressure caused by such surfaces and with its reinforced structure boosts its all terrain performance.The tire has a longer lasting tread life. Its life is extended as the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering are equally distributed along the tire's footprint by the Max Touch Construction. This technology optimizes and distributes stress along the tire's road contact area, preventing irregular wear and enhancing the tire's handling. The constant, even wear along the tire's tread area extends its life.The longer tread life is also due to the reduced rolling resistance of the tire, which slows the wear rate down. The lowered rolling resistance also lessens the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This is made possible by the Green X Technology, which uses silica-rich, environmentally friendly tire compounds to lower the tire's weight. The tire decreases its CO2 footprint in the environment and becomes more ecologically and economically efficient than the LTX A/T model.Michelin utilized the Comfort Control Technology with the LTX A/T2. The technology lowers the road noise and the vibrations experienced in the cabin of the vehicle, making the driving experience more comfortable. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
