The Michelin XZA2 truck tire was created using a range of the latest technological developments, most of which were aimed at providing the maximum level of safety and economic efficiency. Another feature of this model is that it can be installed on both the steering axle of highway tractors and trailer axles.
Low Fuel Consumption
The tread of this tire is made of the Energy compound, which allowed the French tire makers to improve a number of operational properties. First of all, this is rolling resistance. It was possible to significantly reduce it due to the ability of the rubber compound to effectively transfer heat to the surrounding space, which, in turn, reduces heating and increases the durability of the tread.
Long Service Life
This model is characterized by a very long service life. Its durability is ensured by several design features at once. One of them is a carcass made entirely of steel cord. It was also used in the creation of the breaker located directly under the tread. This design gives the tire increased load-carrying capacity and resistance to aggressive external influences.
Another factor that determines the durability of the Michelin XZA2 tire is the tread design. All its elements are arranged in such a way that this achieves a very even distribution of external weight over the contact patch. This largely determines the tread's resistance to uneven wear. In this connection, it is impossible not to note the physical properties of the compound, which is characterized by high resistance to abrasive wear.
Main Features of Michelin XZA2
- fuel efficiency due to the Energy compound, which reduces the level of tire heating during movement;
- durability, ensured by a carcass with significant load-carrying capacity and features of the tread design, optimizing the distribution of external pressure over the contact patch.
