    PRESS RELEASE

    GROUP

    Boulogne-Billancourt 3 February 2022

    New MICHELIN City Extra


    The commuter tire for scooters, step-throughs and small
    motorcycles

    • Tire life improved by 10 percent*


    • Wet grip improved by 24 percent**
    • Increased scooter market coverage

    Michelin has launched its new MICHELIN City Extra; a new tire for the global
    commuter market, with fitments available for scooters, step-throughs and small
    motorcycles.

    Replacing both the MICHELIN City Pro and MICHELIN City Grip Pro tire ranges, the
    new MICHELIN City Extra offers 10 percent longer life* and 24 percent better wet
    grip** compared to the MICHELIN City Pro and is also available in a larger range
    of sizes for scooters, giving increased market coverage.

    These improvements in performance have been made possible by the new


    adaptive tread design developed for the MICHELIN City Extra. This evolution in
    tread pattern design resists wear and incorporates MICHELIN Water Sipes to cut
    through the film of water on the road surface to find high levels of grip in these
    difficult conditions.
    *Internal study of wet lap times at Fontange circuit (South of France) on 17 October 2019, using a Honda Scoopy fitted with 80/90-14 front and
    90/90-14 rear tire sizes.
    **Wear test done by TUV Thailand on Michelin’s request, comparing MICHELIN City Pro versus MICHELIN City Extra between 2 December 2019 and
    11 February 2020, using a HONDA CLICK 125i fitted with 80/90-14 front and 90/90-14 rear tire sizes. The test ran until 12,000 km then the tires
    were removed from the vehicles and an extrapolated mileage estimation was made.
    Results in real life may vary according to tire dimensions, weather and road conditions, as well as driving habits.

    In addition to the improved grip and longevity, the renowned puncture resistant
    construction of the MICHELIN City Pro has been optimized even further for the
    MICHELIN City Extra to provide better durability, and therefore peace of mind for
    riders during their everyday commutes.

    The new MICHELIN City Extra will be available in markets from the beginning of
    2022, in the following sizes subject to country/region specifics.
