For further details please write to “Fuel Saving” Michelin Tyre Co. Ltd., 81 Fulham Road, London S.W.3.
The fuel saving with Michelin ‘X tyres is due to unique manufacturing quality and to their special construction which reduces rolling resistance. Radial casing cords (A) flex more easily, a braced tread (8) prevents tread distortion.
