New Michelin CrossClimate Plus tyres

This is just a small example about the quality and performance that Michelin expect from their products. Hence, the already popular CrossClimate tyre is having upgrades and improvements. Thus, to the tyres quality.

Therefore, the new version will be known as the “plus.”. The new plus is expected to give better performance in snowy conditions. I suspect that this is true for countries with tougher winter conditions than here in the UK.

This winter 2016–2017 has been very harsh in many parts of southern Europe, including Italy and Greece, and snow even fell in winter sun destinations such as Benidorm on the Spanish Costa Blanca.

This is a place that I have visited on many occasions and most drivers drive about on bald tyres, so God help them in snowy weather.

So, since I wrote this post then the Michelin Crossclimate has been very popular. Of course many drivers are importantly, fitting these tyres. Because, climate change is now bringing very heavy rain.

Discover the Versatility of Michelin CrossClimate+ Tyres:

A Perfect Match for Britain’s Unpredictable Weather
If you’re anything like me, you value a solid set of tyres that can handle the unpredictable British weather. That’s why I’m so excited to talk about the new Michelin CrossClimate Plus tyres today—a true ally for any car owner who dreads having to swap between summer and winter tyres every season.

First, let us address the elephant in the room: the weather. The weather in the United Kingdom may be unpredictable, with sudden downpours in Manchester and unexpected snow flurries in Scotland. This is where the New Michelin CrossClimate Plus tyres excels.

It’s not just any tyre; it’s a sophisticated all-rounder built to handle these unexpected challenges with ease. The brilliance of these tyres resides in their unique capacity to adapt to changing weather conditions, making them a top choice for both safety and efficiency.

The Michelin CrossClimate+ has some interesting

characteristics that set it apart. It boasts a strong design with a unique bevel-edged tread pattern and full-depth sipes that operate great on wet, dry, and slippery surfaces. Consider it the nimbleness of a summer tyre paired with the durability of a winter type. This means you can drive with confidence, knowing your tyres are ready to grip the road in any weather, including snow!

Now, for those who enjoy a little history mixed in with their tyre talk, did you know that Michelin has been around since the late nineteenth century, when bicycle tyres were first introduced?

That’s correct;

this French tyre company has pioneered inventions such as the detachable tyre and, of course, the renowned Michelin Guide. Therefore, when you purchase a set of CrossClimate+ tyres, you are not only getting safety; you are also getting a piece of history from a business that drivers have trusted for more than 100 years.

Furthermore, for us locals, having a tyre that can withstand the undulating and often unpredictable terrain of locations like the Yorkshire Dales or Sheffield’s high hills is a blessing.

Whether you’re driving tight turns on rural country roads or hectic metropolitan streets during a downpour, these tyres provide peace of mind with their remarkable performance.

Let us not overlook another significant benefit:

cost-effectiveness. With new Michelin CrossClimate Plus tyres, you eliminate the hassle of changing tyres with the seasons, not to mention the storage headache! It is as simple as having one set of tyres for the entire year. This means longer-term savings and less hassle, which, if you’re anything like me, seems like a great deal.

So, whether you’re driving to a business meeting in crowded London or taking a picturesque drive through the Lake District, the Michelin CrossClimate+ tyres provide the dependability, safety, and performance that will make your journey a breeze, regardless of the weather.

Finally, if you want to step up your tyre game,

and handle the best (and worst) of British weather, New Michelin CrossClimate Plus tyres are the tyre for you. Safe travels, and remember that with the correct tyres, every journey is enjoyable, rain or shine!

TyreSafe  was set up with the responsibility of raising awareness of the importance of the dangers of defective and worn tyres.

Hi Judging by some of the tyres that we are removing in our Halifax tyre shop,. So, I can see why we need such a great organisation as Tyresafe. Constantly trying to educate and inform the car-owning public. About the proper care and safety when it comes to their tyres.

The image I have used.

Of course, this is an every-day sample of the tyres that we take off our customers cars.
The tyre stood on edge. So, it is actually worn down to the steel belt. Consequently, the left-hand side of the tread area. The driver said that he was too busy to check his tyres. But he was shocked to see them in such bad condition.

As I have said on many occasions,

Tyresafe is a non-profit organisation. Trying to educate the motoring public. Thus, with different safety awareness campaigns. Of course, throughout the UK. They also produce excellent tyre safety videos. Subsequently,  the website is worth a look.

Tyresafe.org  established itself  in 2006. Naturally, it is a non-profit organisation. Tyresafe campaigns for the tyre safety part of the tyre industry. Hence, in line with the legislation that is current at the moment,. Including the current duty of care regulations.

Tyresafe.org receives support from many areas

Of the tyres industry, this includes most of the large tyre manufacturers, tyre retailers and tyre wholesalers. Tyresafe has also some  equipment suppliers and a number of vehicle manufacturers.

To get the safety message across

To inform the public about self driving cars, Tyresafe works  closely with a huge range of commercial and government organisations, including Highways England, Road-Safe, police forces, fire services, councils, and many other such government bodies.

Drivers warned of worn tyres risk. Read more here: http://t.co/bzVuEzWsX0 http://t.co/pacRVLxVUS

This article is yet another reminder from the British motoring organisation, the AA.

It states that motorists here in the UK should take more care of their tyres, than they perhaps do.

Tyres are treated the same as extras

Maintaining Your Tyres:

Why It’s Necessary to Have Regular Inspections
Hi everyone!

Your tyres need some TLC if you’ve ever found yourself driving down the M62 motorway and suddenly felt an uncomfortable wobble from underneath. It’s important to keep you safe when driving, not merely to avoid the annoyance of a flat tyre. Let me discuss why it is imperative that you give your tyres a routine inspection and maintenance.

  1. The Value of Foot Depth
    Let’s start by discussing tread. This is more than just a tyre design—it’s your go-to friend for maintaining traction on the road, particularly in inclement weather.
  2. In the UK, the legal tread depth is 1.6 mm, but let’s not wait to skate on the edge of the law, shall we? It’s time to start looking for new tyres if you can see the border around the edge of a 20-p coin when you insert it into the tyre’s grooves. Improved grip results from deeper tread, and safer excursions to the east coast are especially important when it’s icy or rainy outside.
  3. Keep an eye out for lumps and bumps
    Have you ever observed any strange lumps or bumps on your tyre, similar to what’s appeared on pie crusts ? These could indicate interior damage that could result in a blowout; they are not merely cosmetic problems. This may occur if your tyre has struck a curb or a very large pothole. Frequent inspections can identify these lumps early on, sparing you from having to deal with a true nightmare!
  4. Slices and Damage to the Sidewall
    Numerous objects, such as sharp stones, shattered glass, and road debris, can cut and damage tyres. Furthermore, the sidewalls may also be impacted in addition to the tread region. Despite their seemingly innocuous appearance, these can eventually erode your tyres. Make it a practice to check your tyres for cuts or damage; it’s a simple task but may have a big impact.
  5. The Effect on Fuel Economy
    It’s true that poorly maintained tyres can burn through fuel more quickly. Yes, that is accurate. Tyres that are old or improperly inflated increase moving resistance, or the energy your car needs to keep moving. Thus, maintaining your tyres not only keeps you safer but also, and this is always a plus, maintains a little extra cash in your pocket!
  6. Actions You Can Take
    Make it a habit to check your tyres every two weeks or so. Examine your tyres for wear and tear, make sure your tread depth is even, and check your tyre pressure (you can typically find the recommended PSI in your car’s handbook or on a label inside the driver’s door). It’s quick and will help you feel more at ease.

And never forget to visit your neighbourhood garage (Pellon Tyres in Halifax, UK) if you have any questions concerning the condition of your tyres or whether it’s time for a replacement. We would be more than delighted to assist or provide guidance.

In addition to ensuring your safety, monitoring your tyres can ultimately save you some money. Thus, let’s not cut corners when it comes to tyre checks—both your car and your pocketbook will appreciate it.

From Eric Roberts: Happy travels to all of you! And be sure to check those tyres!

These cracks will widen and become very dangerous.

The cracks are usually a sign of other underlying problems, such as an illegal repair, inside the tyre. These are very often found in part worn tyres, which are illegally sold to cash-strapped  motorists who are unaware of the hidden horrors inside of these tyres.

One of the main reasons for removing a tyre that has still got some tread left,is because the tyre may have developed a “bubble” or “egg” somewhere on the tyre tread area or side wall. Most times the egg only develops when the tyre is in an inflated state. When the air is let out of the tyre the egg very often goes down and is not visible.

worn tyres
This tyre was a car tyre fitted with a bubble on the tread without the owner knowing anything about it?
Worn Tyres

This then looks like a perfectly good tyre, but to all intents and purposes, it is indeed a dangerous tyre that, when re-fitted, could blow out. I have seen many cases of this here at Pellon Tyres in Halifax. The worst case can be seen in this attached image.

These tyres somehow

may find there way into the hands of illegal worn tyre dealers and be sold to an unwitting customer who thinks that they have a bargain buy, but may in fact be sitting on a disaster waiting to happen.

Winter Tyres tested

Winter Tyres tested

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again and again: If you live in a state that experiences winter, you should invest in a good set of Snow Tyres tested. Yes, even if you’ve been …

This is a great article

That shows the length that tyre companies take to test their tyre products before they are released to the public for road use.

This particular article is about .

the new tyres tested by Hankook Tyres. The same also applies to other tyre companies, which rigorously test their tyre products in real-world conditions, taking the cars to their extreme limits.

I am lucky enough to experience such extreme testing conditions. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Austrian Alps to witness winter tyres tested, at first hand.

The company was not Hankook,

but one of the worlds top winter tyre producers, Apollo-Vredestein.

The winter tyres tested  were new winter tyres to sell to the SUV winter market.

I was in a group made up from other independent tyre dealers from across the UK. We were all allocated to an SUV vehicle that were fitted out with the new tyres. The drivers were all test drivers from the world of motorsport. These drivers took the vehicles up the Austrian Alps and the new winter tyres were put through their paces.

We drove on snow and ice,

and I must admit to having been a little frightened by the extreme conditions in which these vehicles were driven. In fact, I was glad when the thing finished and we got back to the hotel in one piece?

It was a great experience and showed that the  winter tyres tested were put through their extreme paces.

This winter, we have decided to stock

some Apollo/Vredestein winter tyres, along with the excellent Yokohama winter tyres.

Self-Driving cars-Doomsday Scenario

Leave a comment

Wow if like me you work in the auto industry then we had better be looking for another job?

This article portrays a nightmare scenario for the whole of the motor industry?

Self-Driving cars

Self-Driving cars
Self-Driving cars

Self-Driving cars

You have to read it

and keep nipping yourself every now and again. I still do not see a future for self driving cars and I just think that it is for huge companies with loads of money to burn.

I cannot see how you could even start mixing self-driving cars on the same roads as cars with human drivers.

These self-driving cars cannot think like humans.

It was proven when self-driving cars got stuck on a roundabout during testing. The car could not think how to join the roundabout because all the human drivers were using their brains and speed of thought. They were nipping out, leaving the  self-driving cars with nowhere to go.

Also, the auto industry generates billions of dollars for various exchequers and employs billions of workers. How are these things going to replace the lost revenue from taxes?

Also, what about the insurance? Self-Driving cars

problems and the emergency services, What are they going to use?

My blood is boiling at the moment. So I will cut it short, but I don’t think it will ever happen, perhaps on a new planet in three hundred years.

I was recently lucky enough to be able to visit Rome, the capital of Italy. When I saw the organised chaos of the Italian traffic system, I had a little chuckle to myself at the thought of the introduction of self-driving cars into their system.

No disrespect to any Italians who may read my blogs, because their traffic system does work, albeit at high speed. We will have to see.

2020 Update. Self-Driving cars

Of course, here in 2020 we have the Corona virus outbreak, which has brought most things to a halt. Including the progress of the driverless car.

Here in Halifax, we just keep on plodding along, fitting tyres and servicing cars the good old-fashioned way. In my opinion, these “fads” will come and go! Moving forward, I believe that the horrific cost of this pandemic will put many of these crazy ideas on hold.

2024 article update. Self-Driving cars

Certainly, let us engage in a discourse regarding the most recent advancements in the realm of autonomous vehicles, a subject that is presently generating considerable interest and chatter.

It’s truly remarkable, particularly when you consider the potential transformative impact of this technology on our transport infrastructure as well as the far-reaching implications for daily commutes and delivery processes for organisations such as ours.

What then has emerged in the domain of autonomous vehicles? The most significant news is consistently how these intelligent vehicles are improving their ability to navigate our unpredictable streets.

Due to the fact

that the software has been fine-tuned and improved by the technologists, these vehicles are becoming increasingly adept at handling a variety of obstacles, including stray cyclists and pedestrians.

There have been several additional industry titans dipping their caps into the ring. Conventional automakers are collaborating with technology companies in order to accelerate the development of autonomous vehicles.

It is comparable to observing a high-stakes relay race in which all participants transfer the technological baton in an attempt to gain an advantage.

The developments in artificial intelligence

that enable vehicles to make decisions in real time have been a major highlight. This technology is about more than just travelling from A to B; it also improves the safety and efficiency of travel.

One could envision a future in which traffic congestion and accidents are relegated to the annals of history; that sounds fairly enticing, wouldn’t you say?

Significant urban trials generate considerable anticipation in the United Kingdom. These trials serve the purpose of determining the compatibility of self-driving vehicles with our current road infrastructure, which, let’s face it, is not always the most spacious or uncomplicated!

Furthermore, there is considerable discourse surrounding the regulatory framework that must be adhered to in order to guarantee ethical conduct and safety. It is comparable to establishing the regulations for an unorthodox game; a comprehensive understanding of the stipulations is imperative prior to commencing actual gameplay.

As tiny business owners and locals

The ramifications are enormous. We are discussing the possibility of drastically reducing delivery times due to the continuous operation of these vehicles.

And it’s quite exciting to consider the possibilities, especially for someone like me, who is constantly on the lookout for the next great thing in technology to help the company grow—perhaps even delivering car batteries to customers without a driver!

Thus, maintain vigilance.

The self-driving car industry is advancing rapidly, and all hands are on deck. Not only does it pertain to technology, but also to equipping our communities and enterprises for an intelligent and streamlined future.

Who knows, then? Potentially approaching sooner than we anticipate, these intelligent vehicles will be navigating the thoroughfares of Halifax, thereby considerably enhancing road safety and simplifying our daily lives.

Anticipation is warranted for the voyage ahead; it deserves to be a thrilling one!

BMW Hand brake problem: This is a good and simple video explaining about why your car brakes need servicing every once in a while.

As the owner of a garage. So, we see drivers pulling in with many different types of problems. From rattling and banging brakes. Of course, to the “my brakes don’t work at all brigade”. Like most garages we see them all.

Most problems would have been solved. Of course, by the driver having the cars brakes serviced once in a while. The problem is that we all lead busy lives and time flies by, well you know what i mean.

Before you know it the brakes dont work very well and you start to panic.

Hand brake problem

This is exactly what happened today(September 22nd 2015) A guy turned up out of the blue and told us the story about how he nearly lost his car. He parked the BMW on a hill, pulled on the handbrake and as he started to exit the car, it started to roll back down the hill.

Lucky for him, the guy was  agile and shot back into he car and put on the foot brake. With a very fast beating heart he drove the car straight to my garage here in Halifax UK.

When we examined the Hand brake problem,

 We found that it had discs all the way around. A small brake drum on this model connects the hand brake to the disc.

Discarded tyres

Discarded tyres

A mixture of crushed pieces of discarded tyres and sand around foundations can protect buildings during earthquakes, civil engineers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) say.

The world is coming up with some great ideas from waste and thrown away tyres. They are now used in the making of tarmac for road surfaces, right down to the householder making garden planters from discarded tyres.

They can also be used in making barriers against land subsidence, by

Discarded tyres
Waste discarded tyres are now used for many things including these fine plant holders

weaving a wall and filling the old tyres with soil or concrete as the wall is been built.

Sea defenses are also made from discarded tyres. some are even used as a type of barrier reef and are fastened together under water. This idea has been very successful to attract breeding water life, who use the reef for shelter and also breeding purposes.

This new idea comes out of India.

The article explains discarded tyres are crushed and mixed with concretes. The mix forms a perimeter around the building and the foundations before the building starts to be built. The waste tyre and concrete mix  will take any of the vibrations caused by an earthquake. A similar idea has been used in some countries to make walls on eroded river beds and road sides. As you can see in the image, the tyre sidewalls have been removed and the centres are stacked on top of each other. The wall is sloped back and filled in with earth or concrete as the wall rises, making an effective barrier against erosion.

Discarded tyres
These old Discarded tyres have been converted into a re-enforcing wall to protect the land against soil erosion.

India is very prone to earthquakes and this new development will protect new buildings as well as using millions of old tyres.

Michelin versus Pirelli

Leave a comment

Michelin versus Pirelli

Michelin versus Pirelli

Tyre company Michelin promises tyres that will let grand Prix drivers race faster if it wins the tender to supply F1 from 2017.

Michelin versus Pirelli-drivers have mixed opinions?

The Beginnings
The Michelin brothers,

Édouard and André, established Michelin in 1889 as a French tyre manufacturer. Their inventions in tyre technology, such as the detachable pneumatic tyre, established them as industry pioneers. Michelin’s engagement in motorsport began in the early twentieth century, allowing the corporation to test and enhance their products while also demonstrating their technological prowess.

Pirelli,

founded in Milan, Italy, in 1872 by Giovanni Battista Pirelli, began with rubber and derivative operations before expanding into tyre manufacturing. Pirelli, like Michelin, realised the importance of motorsport as a testing ground for its goods and began competing in races in the early 1900s.

Michelin versus pirelli
Michelin Race Expertise

The Formula One era


The advent of both businesses into Formula One, where tyres are vital to performance, represented a watershed moment in their competition. Formula One has always been the pinnacle of automotive technology, and the sport’s demands tested tyre makers to their limits.

Michelin originally entered Formula One in the mid-1970s, offering radial tyre technology, which was a dramatic departure from the cross-ply tyres used at the time. This invention improved durability and performance, creating a new benchmark in the racing world.

Pirelli first entered Formula One in the early 1950s, but made a more frequent appearance in 1981. They introduced innovations like the low-profile tyre, which improved grip and handling. Pirelli tyres were noted for their aggressive performance, which was ideal for faster, shorter races.

The Battle for Supremacy


Michelin and Pirelli have seen their fair share of technological advancements and controversy throughout the decades.

Michelin’s most infamous event in Formula One occurred at the 2005 United States Grand Prix in Indianapolis, when a tyre failure forced most Michelin-equipped teams to quit due to safety concerns. This incident had a huge impact on Michelin’s reputation, leading to their decision to leave from Formula One at the end of 2006.

After a brief break, Pirelli returned as Formula One’s sole tyre supplier in 2011. This monopoly put an end to direct competition on the track, but it also ushered in a new era in which Pirelli’s every move was scrutinised, dealing with the burden of being the sole supply.

Legacy and Ongoing Competition


The competition between Michelin and Pirelli goes beyond Formula One, with both firms highly involved in other disciplines such as the World Rally Championship (WRC) and Le Mans. Each brand is constantly developing new technology to maintain an advantage over the competition.

Pirelli places more of an emphasis on performance and adaptability, as seen in their specially designed tyres for high-performance sports vehicles, in contrast to Michelin’s emphasis on endurance and efficiency through technology like Energy Saver tyres.

Impact on the Automotive Industry.


The battle between these tyre behemoths has resulted in substantial advances in tyre technology, influencing even the tyres used on common road vehicles. Racecourse innovations frequently make their way into the consumer market, enhancing safety, efficiency, and performance for the regular driver.

Conclusion
The battle between Michelin and Pirelli in Formula One and beyond demonstrates the importance of competition in driving technological innovation.

Each company’s devotion to innovation informs not only their motorsport plans but also the entire automobile sector, demonstrating how important this competition has been in pushing the limits of what tyres can achieve.

Whether it’s the race circuits of Formula 1 or the streets and motorways of the UK, the history of this rivalry continues to inspire the tyres on our cars, marrying high-performance technology with everyday dependability.

F1 drivers are coming out with mixed feelings for the Pirelli race tyres and a Michelin versus Pirelli race is beginning to happen.

In my opinion, it appears that the drivers are having to think more about their tyres than they think is necessary.

Some race pundits

think this is a good thing because it brings other aspects into the races and makes winning more skillful.

The Michelin versus Pirelli confrontation came along when Michelin began to show interest in F1 racing a couple of years ago. The interest has grown as the deadline for the new F1 tyre tender becomes closer.

Michelin claim that their tyres would take the F1 racing scene back to its origins and could be up to three seconds a lap faster.

One of the recent tyre problems

has been how many races or laps could be achieved on the same tyres.

The Michelin versus Pirelli arguments and claims will go on right up

to the tender time. Pirelli say that they have only produced the tyre that they were asked to produce. Michelin on the other hand are saying that their tyres could offer more calculated lap times per tyre.

In my opinion,

The race to supply the new F1 race season will heat up, with new claims and counter claims.

It will be interesting to see which of these tyre giants will win the Michelin versus Pirelli battle ahead to supply F1 with their tyres in the coming years.

Cross-Climate Tyres-Emergency services

Fleet managers from UK emergency services have given the thumbs up to Michelin’s new CrossClimate tyres—the first summer tyres with winter capabilities—following a day of testing at the MIRA proving ground.

As the year flies by, it will be time again to be thinking about winter driving and winter tyres.

The guys who run our emergency services are already thinking about the winter ahead and in this article have attended a tyre trial, looking at the Michelin CrossClimate tyres.

Michelin have put much time and research.

into this tyre and hope that it will bridge the gap between summer and winter tyres.

Unlike other tyre manufacturers products, Cross-Climate Tyres-Emergency services, are said to be a summer tyre that is also suitable for spells of cold and snowy weather.

We have already sold some .Cross-Climate Tyres- Emergency services

of these CrossClimate tyres here in Halifax, Yorkshire, UK. We are in a hilly district and have many customers who fit their winter tyres every October and November.

Michelin hope that with the new CrossClimate tyres, then drivers will not have to change from summer to winter tyres every year?but i am not sure?things do not seem to end up like that in the tyre trade and i do not think that the CrossClimate will make a clean sweep of it?

The new Michelin  tyres .Cross-Climate Tyres- Emergency services

are also attracting the attention of fleet car managers. The fleet car and van industry are always looking for other ideas that could save them money in the

crossclimate tyres
The Michelin CrossClimate tyre will be a winner and a tyre worth investing in

long run. The CrossClimate tyres will eliminate the need to change the summer tyres for winter tyres, and at the end of winter, the other way around. The cross-climate tyres will do one job.

I also believe that this will open up opportunities

for other manufacturers with a similar product. I am thinking about the excellent Falken Winter Tyres. These are also suitable for all weathers, and I think they would also be more cost-effective.
