Bright Blue Ford Puma for new tyres CrossClimate 3 Tyres at Pellon Tyres Halifax
It is always nice when a customer arrives with a car that catches your eye, and this week it was certainly the turn of a bright blue Ford Puma. The striking colour stood out as soon as it drove into our depot here at Pellon Tyres in Halifax, and after discussing the customer’s requirements we fitted two new Michelin CrossClimate 3 tyres in size 225/40R19 93Y XL to the front of the vehicle before completing a full four-wheel alignment.
As we always say, fitting quality tyres is only part of the job. Ensuring that the vehicle’s wheel alignment is correctly adjusted helps the new tyres last longer, improves steering response and gives the customer the best possible driving experience. It is money well spent and something we recommend whenever new tyres are fitted.
The Rise of the Ford Puma: Ford Puma for new Michelin Tyres
The Ford Puma name first appeared in Britain during the late 1990s on a stylish little sports coupe that quickly became a favourite amongst enthusiastic drivers thanks to its sharp handling and sporty looks. Although production of that original Puma ended in 2002, Ford recognised just how popular the name had become.
In 2019 the famous Puma badge returned, this time on a compact SUV built on the highly successful Ford Fiesta platform. It proved to be an instant success with British motorists. Combining the higher driving position that many people now prefer with excellent handling, economical engines and plenty of clever storage space, the modern Ford Puma has become one of the UK’s best-selling cars.
One of its cleverest features is the “MegaBox” beneath the boot floor, providing extra space for shopping, muddy boots or even taller items that would normally be difficult to carry. It is just one of many reasons why families and commuters alike have taken to the Ford Puma.
Here in Halifax and throughout Calderdale we now see Ford Pumas almost every day. They are equally at home negotiating the busy streets around Halifax town centre as they are tackling the winding roads across Ogden, Wainstalls, Ripponden or the climb towards Queensbury. It is exactly the sort of versatile vehicle that suits Yorkshire driving.
Michelin CrossClimate – A Tyre That Changed the Market
When Michelin first introduced the original CrossClimate tyre back in 2015, it changed the way many motorists thought about tyres. Traditionally drivers had to choose between summer tyres for warmer weather or winter tyres for snow and ice.
Michelin decided there was a better solution.
The CrossClimate range was developed to combine the performance of a premium summer tyre with genuine winter capability, giving motorists one tyre that could cope with changing weather conditions throughout the year. It carried the recognised Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) marking, showing that it met strict winter performance standards while still offering excellent performance during warmer months.
Now Michelin has taken the range another step forward with the CrossClimate 3.
Why the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Is So Popular: Ford Puma for new Michelin Tyres
The latest Michelin CrossClimate 3 has been designed for today’s modern vehicles, including petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric models. Michelin has improved wet weather braking, increased tyre life and reduced rolling resistance, helping improve fuel economy while maintaining excellent grip throughout the year.
Features include:
- Excellent grip in dry, wet and light snowy conditions.
- 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake winter certifications.
- Improved longevity compared with the previous generation.
- Lower rolling resistance for better efficiency.
- Suitable for hybrid and electric vehicles as well as conventional petrol and diesel cars.
For many of our customers around Halifax and Calderdale, all-season tyres make perfect sense. Yorkshire weather can change several times in a single day. One moment it can be warm sunshine, the next heavy rain, followed by frost during the evening in winter.
Having a tyre designed to cope with those changing conditions provides extra confidence throughout the year.
Completing the Job Properly
Once the two new Michelin tyres had been fitted to the front axle, we carried out a full wheel alignment using our modern alignment equipment.
Wheel alignment is often overlooked, but it is extremely important. Even a slight knock against a pothole or kerb can alter the suspension geometry. This may cause uneven tyre wear, poor steering, increased fuel consumption and reduced handling.
Correct alignment ensures:
- Longer tyre life.
- Better steering accuracy.
- Improved fuel economy.
- Reduced tyre wear.
- A smoother and safer driving experience.
Considering the number of potholes we continue to experience across West Yorkshire, it is well worth having the alignment checked whenever new tyres are fitted.
Premium Tyres Are Worth the Investment: Ford Puma for new Michelin Tyres
At Pellon Tyres we supply tyres to suit every budget, but there is no denying that premium tyres such as Michelin continue to justify their excellent reputation.
Drivers often tell us they immediately notice quieter running, improved grip and greater confidence, particularly during heavy rain or on fast motorway journeys.
After all, your tyres are the only part of the vehicle actually touching the road. The combined contact area of all four tyres is little bigger than four postcards, so choosing quality tyres really does make a difference.
