The Michelin XDE1 tire is used on trucks with a payload capacity of 6-12 tons. At the same time, this model is used exclusively on the driving axles, providing confident handling throughout the year. The tire is also distinguished by a long service life, which significantly reduces vehicle maintenance costs.
Improved Traction
To improve the tire's traction properties, this model was equipped with special tread elements. These are lamellas called "double wave". Thanks to them, it was possible to increase the traction indicator with the road surface by 40% compared to analogues.
Effective Resistance to Aquaplaning
Since the Michelin XDE1 tire is used all year round, its ability to resist the aquaplaning effect (which occurs on a wet road when a thin layer of water forms between the road surface and the tire surface) is an important characteristic. For this purpose, the model is equipped with five longitudinal channels, as well as a network of smaller lamellas located transversely and dividing the tread into many "squares". It is this structure that quickly removes excess water from the contact patch, increasing the stability of the vehicle.
Increased Mileage
Since the tire for trucks is constantly exposed to aggressive influences (vehicle weight, poor roads, etc.), it must have a high degree of resistance to mechanical damage. In this case, the manufacturer used a special rubber compound that effectively withstands increased loads. At the same time, the service life of the tire increased by 20%, which had a positive impact on operating costs.
In addition, the tire has improved traction properties, which are provided by the special structure of the tread. At the same time, the torque is transmitted more efficiently, allowing the vehicle to overcome poor road sections with less fuel consumption.
