Among other Michelin off-road tires, the 4x4 A/T XTT model stands out for its exceptional adaptability to off-road driving. This applies equally to the tread pattern and the carcass design, which boasts excellent reliability and significant load-carrying capacity.
Open tread pattern design
The versatility of this tire is largely due to its tread pattern, which has a sufficiently open design. It consists of numerous individual blocks that form five very wide longitudinal ribs during movement. This feature gives the tire excellent directional stability at high speeds, as well as quick and accurate reaction to steering wheel turns.
Additionally, the multi-step arrangement of blocks cannot be ignored. When in contact with the road, they form numerous transverse S-shaped traction edges that stretch across the entire tread. This significantly improves longitudinal traction properties, especially on unpaved surfaces. At the same time, this block arrangement scheme prevents the occurrence of resonant noises and vibrations.
In this regard, it is impossible not to note the rounded corners and the arrangement of most traction edges at a large angle relative to the direction of movement. This feature further reduces the noise level and decreases rolling resistance.
Main features of the Michelin 4x4 A/T XTT tire
- a universal tread pattern that combines good on-road performance with excellent off-road traction;
- optimized arrangement of tread blocks, which form numerous transverse S-shaped traction edges that stretch across the entire tread;
- five longitudinal ribs improve stability and stability of traction properties when driving at high speeds;
- a reinforced carcass design with a two-layer steel cord breaker gives the tire reliability, mechanical strength, and significant load-carrying capacity.
