The Michelin X Multiway 3D XDE truck tire stands out favorably from most tire products of similar purpose from other manufacturers with a wider range of applications. This is ensured by its high performance not only on summer, but also on winter roads. At the same time, this model is designed for operation on the driving axles of highway tractors of various brands. Also, it is impossible not to note its excellent applicability, achieved due to the presence of a correctly selected size range.
Universal tread pattern
This model is equipped with a symmetrical non-directional tread pattern. Its design is characterized by an increased content of traction edges. They are formed by numerous blocks that make up six longitudinal ribs - four in the central part and two in the shoulder areas of the tread. This design provides the Michelin X MULTIWAY 3D XDE tire with excellent traction properties in the longitudinal direction, increased directional stability, and reduced rolling resistance.
Three-dimensional lamellae
The letter-digit combination 3D in the name indicates the presence of three-dimensional lamellae in the tread pattern of this model. These special elements are designed to form an additional large number of traction edges, as well as to give the blocks in which they are cut increased stiffness. Thanks to this design feature, it was possible to significantly improve the traction properties on slippery roads from snow and ice.
Long service life
In the development of this model, considerable attention was paid to ensuring the maximum possible service life. This was achieved due to a number of design features. First of all, the French tire manufacturers optimized the distribution of external pressure over the contact patch by strengthening the shoulder areas of the tread. At the same time, the size of the support surface increased, and its shape became close to rectangular, which, in turn, led to an improvement in the stability and reliability of the traction properties when driving on slippery roads.
Main features of the Michelin X MULTIWAY 3D XDE tire
- excellent traction properties on winter roads are ensured by the increased number of traction edges formed by numerous blocks and lamellae;
- a very long service life due to the optimized distribution of external pressure over the contact patch, a rubber compound resistant to uneven and abrasive wear, and the possibility of restoring the tread by cutting or by the cold restoration method.
