Estimated cost comparisons after
first tyre
life based on (I) internal mileage data collected by Michelin salesforce
between Jan 2018 and April 2022 in Europe and mileage estimation based on tyre
design characteristics in main usage on motorways and national roads, (II)
VECTO calculation of fuel savings, (III) average sell out tyre
price on European replacement market: 600€ for 315/70 R 22.5 MICHELIN X® MULTI™
Z&D / MICHELIN X® MULTI™ ENERGY™ Z2 & D2 / MICHELIN X® LINE™ ENERGY™ Z2
& D2 tyres
and (IV) average price for tyre mounting operations (25€ for
deposit). Indicative price of 1.65€/l based on CNR’s professional price index
of gasoil in March 2022 in France without VAT.
517£ for 315/70 R 22.5 MICHELIN
X® MULTI™ Z&D / MICHELIN X® MULTI™ ENERGY™ Z2 & D2 / MICHELIN X® LINE™
ENERGY™ Z2 & D2 tyres and (IV) average price for tyre
mounting operations (21.39£ for deposit). Indicative fuel price at 1.42£/L
based on Globalpetrolprices.com in June 2022.
For the range MULTI ENERGY 2
launched in Sept 24, we used an internal study based on simulation tool, Ladoux
Research Centre, 2024 Mileage (first
life longevity) : 315/70R22.5 X Multi Energy Z2 : 96vs X Multi Energy Z,
315/70R22.5 X Multi Energy D2 : 91 vs X Multi Energy D ; -7,33% on average.

(a) The emission factor of 3.24
kg CO2 for 1 liter of diesel comes from life cycle analysis calculations made
by ADEME for pure diesel. It includes emissions from the production of diesel
(17%) and from its combustion (83%). Source: ADEME, "Well to Wheel –
JEC" study, v4, July 2014.
(b) The average selling price of
a tyre
on the European replacement market is €600.
(c) The average weight of a new tyre
is 70 kg.
(d) The emission factor of 2.3 kg
CO2 for 1 kg of tyre is based on calculations of the
life cycle analysis of the production of a tyre
(known as ‘cradle to gate’), carried out internally by Michelin according to
the calculation rules developed by the tyre
manufacturing industry (via the global organisation
Tire Industry Project - TIP - bringing together 10 tyre
manufacturers on sustainable development issues). It includes the stages of raw
material extraction, transport, manufacturing and distribution. Source: UL
