The Michelin City Grip Winter is a real winter tyre for scooters.
From the automotive sector, the very successfully proven sipe technology was adopted here. In combination with a soft carcass construction, the tyre remains supple even at -10° and always adapts perfectly to the surface. The level of grip thus achieved together with the special winter rubber compound is very high and completely takes the horror out of cold and wet roads. Our own vehicles equipped with these tyres and in daily use have convinced us completely.
Even in dry and moderate temperatures the City Grip Winter is a completely new driving experience. A safe driving experience combined with a great braking performance even on wet roads makes the City Grip Winter a sovereign recommendation for every year round driver.
Conclusion: Brilliant tyre with an enormously high grip level, not only for the very cold season!
Note: In Germany and many other European countries scooter drivers are always legally on the safe side during the cold season. Because of its suitability for winter conditions, Michelin City Grip bears an M+S marking on the sidewall.
Since 29 November 2010, winter tyres have been mandatory in Germany for all motorised two-wheelers - from mopeds to super bikes: In the event of slippery snow, slush, icy conditions or black ice, a motor vehicle may only be driven with tyres whose tread pattern, tread compound or structure are designed for the aforementioned winter road conditions. This means that all motorised road users on German roads are obliged to drive with winter tyres in the weather conditions mentioned.
