Tyre age and performance
Excessive ageing of a tyre may af fect its performance and even its service
suitability.
A correlation should not be made between the age of a tyre and its ageing. The ageing of a tyre depends solely on the conditions in
which it has been stored and the way it has been used. For example, a new tyre, parked or stored next to a transformer can incur
irreversible damage to the sidewalls (cracking) within a few days: this will af fect its performance and its ability to maintain pressure.
Michelin promises the integrity of the
performance of tyres delivered to its
customers.

Competition tyres (MICHELIN Power Performance, MICHELIN Power Rain, MICHELIN Power SuperMoto Rain) are
particularly sensitive to aging due to their specif ic composition. The recommended period of use is 2 years after the date
of f irst use.
Replace your tyre if the tyre depth is at the level of the tread wear indicator (which complies with regulation at 0,8mm) ;
you can easily f ind the tread wear indicators with the small Bibendum on the shoulder of the Michelin tyre.
