Description Michelin X COACH HL Z
Like other representatives of the X COACH line, the Michelin X COACH HL Z truck tire is designed for passenger transport, in particular, tourist buses. This model is beneficially distinguished by safety in any weather conditions, durability, and reliability. All this was achieved due to advanced technologies and the latest materials.
Stable traction at any speed
A sufficiently narrow scope of application forced French tire manufacturers to use solutions in the design of this tire's tread that are more characteristic of passenger models. In particular, it contains five longitudinal ribs of a continuous design, the significant stiffness of which, in combination with massive sizes, provides a number of important operational properties. First of all, this is a large contact patch, even distribution of external pressure on it, as well as the invariance of its shape and area at various driving modes. The practical result of all these properties is very stable traction properties, handling with transparent feedback, and, in addition, increased resistance to uneven wear.
Exceptional reliability
The reliability of this model is largely ensured by the design of the carcass, which is made using Inficoil technology. This technological solution is an additional layer of breaker, which, like the carcass, is made of steel cord. As a result, the French tire manufacturers were able to significantly increase the tire's carrying capacity, and at the same time, its resistance to dynamic deformation. This had a positive impact not only on reliability but also on handling.
Key features of the Michelin X COACH HL Z tire
- the tire is adapted for operation on any axle of tourist buses;
- excellent traction and handling at high speed thanks to the optimized tread design;
- an additional breaker layer made of steel cord increases reliability.
