Description
Economical and sustainable at the same time! The MICHELIN summer tyre for light trucks!
Environmentally conscious construction:
Lower fuel consumption thanks to weight optimisation and low rolling resistance compared to the predecessor model. Significantly reduced CO2 footprint(1), less waste and thus significantly minimised impact on natural resources compared to the predecessor model(2).
Safe even with little tread remaining:
Excellent wet grip even with little tread remaining, thanks to EverGrip technology.
Durability:
Up to 7% more mileage compared to the previous model.
More robustness for your use:
Additional protection thanks to all-round anti-abrasion blocks on the tyre sidewall. First use of another patented technology from the truck sector that reduces the settling of stones in the pro?l.
(1) Based on an internal life cycle analysis using the rolling resistance method in accordance with EU Regulation 1222/2009, carried out by the Michelin Technology Centre in Ladoux in September 2019. The MICHELIN AGILIS3 reduces CO2 emissions per tyre by up to 1.3 kilograms per 1,000 km compared to the MICHELIN AGILIS+ (both in 235/65 R 16 115/113R). With 4 MICHELIN AGILIS3 tyres, each with an annual mileage of 20,000 kilometres, this corresponds to a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 104 kilograms. Assuming that a tree, depending on its species and age, stores on average up to 35 kilograms of CO2 per year, this is roughly equivalent to the amount of CO2 stored by 3 trees.
(2) The unit weight of the MICHELIN AGILIS3 has been reduced by up to 1.6 kg per tyre compared to the MICHELIN AGILIS+.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more

Overview of criteria and valuation classes
Fuel efficiency
Fuel consumption is dependent upon the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, driving conditions and driving style. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tyre is categorised in classes A (most efficient) to E (least efficient).
Fitting a vehicle with class A tyres all round can lead to a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 7.5%* in comparison to the same vehicle with class E tyres all round. Commercial vehicles may have even greater reductions.

* if measured in accordance with the stated procedures in EU Regulation 2020/7400)
Please note:
Fuel consumption depends to a great extent on the individual driving style and can be reduced considerably by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. To improve fuel efficiency, tyre pressures must be checked regularly.
Wet grip
Wet grip is categorised in classes A (shortest braking distance - E (longest braking distance).
A car fitted with class A tyres can have a braking distance which is 18 m shorter than that of a car fitted with class E tyres when performing an emergency stop at 80 km/h (in average road grip conditions). *

Please note:
Road safety is highly dependent upon individual driving style. Stopping distances must always be observed. To improve road grip in wet conditions, tyre pressure must be checked regularly.
External rolling noise
The noise emission of a tyre has an effect upon the total noise of the vehicle and influences not only driving comfort, but also environmental noise pollution. The EU tyre label categorises extrnal rolling noise in the classes from A (quietest rolling noise level) to C (loudest rolling noise level). This is measured in decibels (dB) and compared to the European noise emission limit values for external tyre rolling noise.
A
The pictogram with the classification "A" shows that the external rolling noise of the tyre falls below the 2016 EU limit value by more than 3 dB.
B
Classification "B" means that the external rolling noise of the tyre falls below the 2016 EU limit value by up to 3 dB.
C
Classification "C" means that the specified limit value has been exceeded.
