The special Michelin Xtra Load Protect A4 E4 tire is used on dump trucks applied in open-pit mining. It is a "quarry" model adapted to operation on solid rocky soils. In such conditions, it is distinguished by reliable traction, increased cyclic speed, carrying capacity and strength, and a long service life.
The tread pattern has a combined design. Its central part is a very wide solid longitudinal rib made up of densely arranged P-shaped blocks. This significantly reduces rolling resistance and heating during high-speed movement, ensuring good directional stability, handling comfort, especially on solid ground surfaces. The shoulder areas are made open and contain individual blocks. Their edges provide stable traction and braking intensity on the ground.
Main features of Michelin Xtra Load Protect A4 E4
- reliable traction, stability at high speed, reduced resistance and heating when working on solid soils due to the optimized tread pattern;
- the rubber shell of the steel cord increases the tire's mileage and its resistance to aggressive external influences;
- the improved compound prevents the tire from overheating during prolonged movement with a high load, while remaining exceptionally resistant to wear, tears, and cuts
