About Michelin
Michelin is one of the world's most decorated tyre manufacturers, repeatedly placing top-three across independent summer, winter and EV tyre tests. Pilot Sport and CrossClimate ranges are first-choice fitments on premium German, Italian and British marques.
Why drivers choose Michelin
Class-leading wet grip
Pilot Sport 5 and Primacy 4+ consistently top wet-braking tests in ADAC, AutoBild and Tyre Reviews.
Long tread life
Silica compounds and Michelin's EverGrip technology deliver high mileage without falling off a cliff late in life.
True all-season option
CrossClimate 2 carries the 3PMSF snowflake mark and is genuinely usable from -10 °C to +30 °C in UK conditions.
EV-ready fitments
Pilot Sport EV and e·Primacy reduce rolling resistance and cabin noise on heavy electric vehicles.

Michelin tyres — frequently asked questions
Are Michelin tyres worth the extra cost?
Independent group tests routinely place Michelin in the top three for wet braking, dry handling and mileage, so the premium typically pays back in tread life and safety margin over budget tyres.
Which Michelin tyre is best for UK weather?
CrossClimate 2 is the UK favourite — a true all-season with the 3PMSF snowflake marking, so it handles wet, cold and occasional snow without swapping to winters.
Does Michelin make EV tyres?
Yes — Pilot Sport EV (performance) and e·Primacy (touring) are engineered for the extra weight and torque of electric vehicles, with reduced rolling resistance to protect range.
