The commercial tire Michelin X Multi T Retread is designed for heavy-duty trucks. It is installed on the trailer axle. This is a previously used tire with a restored tread part of the protector, restored in factory conditions. It is characterized by a long mileage before replacement, fuel-saving properties, and an optimized design for regional transportation.
Reinforced tread fixation in the shoulder areas
This model is a tire with a restored tread part. It is completely new and has a smaller width than the tire under the tread layer. This solution provides a more reliable fixation of the tread in the shoulder areas, which are subjected to the greatest pressure during strong lateral and transverse accelerations. This gives the tire additional reliability and increases its service life.
Low risk of uneven wear
One of the advantages of the tread design is its ability to provide greater resistance to uneven wear. It features seven solid ribs, the outer ones of which have increased dimensions. This solution optimizes the distribution of the load of the vehicle's weight and the cargo it carries over the tire's contact zone with the road surface, making it as even as possible. This property is further enhanced by the numerous narrow grooves, which give the longitudinal ribs in the central part some mobility. The elements in the shoulder areas are equipped with numerous notches on the edges, which reduce their uneven wear.
Wavy shape of the groove bottom
The bottom of the longitudinal drainage grooves has an unusual wavy shape. This solution significantly increases the reliability of the tire by reducing the risk of mechanical damage from stones and other solid objects stuck in the tread. The wavy shape of the groove bottom promotes their rapid ejection outward under the influence of the wheel's rotational force.
Optimized compound
The tread of the tire is made from a special compound created using SmartWay technology. The key difference of the rubber mixture is the use of silica-containing components instead of technical carbon. A complex of special substances gives the compound increased elasticity while increasing its strength and resistance to tearing. As a result, better protection against abrasive wear is provided with a significant reduction in rolling resistance.
