Michelin XTA2 Energy Retread MR – commercial tire for the trailer axle of heavy-duty trucks with a tread pattern restored using Michelin Retread technology. It is characterized by improved economic efficiency during operation, thanks to its pronounced fuel-saving properties, durability of the carcass and breaker, and a special rubber compound.
Low fuel consumption
This model is distinguished by its pronounced fuel-saving properties. This is due not only to the optimized design of the tread pattern. It is made from a special rubber compound that has increased thermal conductivity. This significantly reduces heating during high-speed driving and, along with it, rolling resistance and fuel consumption.
Reliability
The carcass and the breaker located above it are made from a multilayer steel cord. This design has a high load-carrying capacity and resistance to impact, which ensures excellent tire reliability. Additionally, a special rubber compound is used in the under-tread layer, which effectively protects against damage caused by scrubbing.
Optimized tread pattern
The tread pattern is made in the form of five solid longitudinal ribs. The absence of composite elements in them largely determines the low rolling resistance and directional stability at high speeds.
