The Michelin Energy XM2 retain their braking performance under both wet and dry road conditions. The interconnected sipes increase serviceable life and the silica infused compound increases durability for retaining tire structure during stress. The compound itself is adaptive in nature, readily changing shape according to the road conditions. As a result of lesser heat generation during usage, the tires can service for prolonged time without rest and risk of damage. The hollow grooves disperse water to prevent chances of aquaplaning and increase wet traction.
