The "all-season" nature of the Michelin LTX A/T 2 tires should be treated with some conditionality, especially by owners of SUVs and crossovers living in the northern regions of our country. This model is oriented towards summer operation. Nevertheless, it has a number of other advantages that make it possible to consider this tire as one of the most preferable options.
Optimized shape and increased contact patch size
A significant part of the numerous advantages of this tire is provided by the MaxTouch Construction technology. Its essence lies in achieving maximum sizes and optimizing the configuration of the contact patch, which in turn leads to a significant improvement in almost all basic operational properties - from traction to durability. This was achieved thanks to certain changes in the design, both of the carcass and the tread pattern. As a result, the French tire manufacturers were able to not only significantly increase the size of the contact patch but also give it a shape close to a square, which more evenly distributes the external load.
Extended service life on unpaved roads
This tire, like few others, is adapted for operation on unpaved roads, especially in terms of durability. Increased resistance to wear is achieved due to the "advanced" compound composition, which retains its characteristics even under strong mechanical impact.
Key features of Michelin LTX A/T 2
- MaxTouch Construction technology improves traction, directional stability, increases load capacity, and prevents uneven wear;
- increased resistance to wear on unpaved roads due to the optimized compound composition;
- low noise level is ensured by the use of Comfort Control technology.
