Description Michelin X MULTIWAY 3D XZE
The Michelin X MULTIWAY 3D XZE summer cargo tire allows for safe cargo transportation in any weather conditions. The model is perfect for driving on all types of roads, while providing a small fuel economy. The tire was created using the most advanced technologies, which made it possible to significantly improve its operational characteristics.
Latest Technologies
This tire was created using a large package of innovative technologies and solutions called Michelin Durable Technologies. In addition to the Double Way system, a unique ability to self-regenerate, the model is distinguished by unique lamellas that provide excellent traction on any road surface.
The tire has optimal traction characteristics due to the deeply cut channels to increase traction on slippery road surfaces. Directed, deeply cut lamellas significantly improve the efficiency of braking and transverse traction on wet road surfaces. At the same time, the braking distance has also been reduced. The unique technology has made it possible to increase the load on the front axle up to 8 tons.
Reducing Costs
The Michelin X MULTIWAY 3D XZE tire allows you to save money by reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs for the suspension, resulting in a reduction in the load on the suspension elements. In addition, the model has increased durability - the mileage for the steering axle has increased by 15 percent, and for the driving axle - by 30 percent (compared to other models in this segment of tires).
Self-regenerating unique Raindrop lamellas
The technology consists in drilling special cylindrical channels in the shape of a water droplet in the center of the block. When the tread is worn out by 2/3, the channels gradually open, creating new lamellas in the center of the block. As a result, the tread "completely self-regenerates", maintaining optimal traction and a high level of safety and reliability.
TowerPump lamella system
In combination with the previous lamellas, the TowerPump system provides increased traction on a wet road surface. As a result, the remaining water in the contact patch accumulates and is then drained through vertical cylindrical channels that work like small pumps. These lamellas are necessary for more high-quality cutting of the grooves. They are less susceptible to damage and cuts.
Due to the combination of different lamellas, the traction characteristics are increased throughout the entire period of tire operation. According to tests conducted by Michelin, it has been proven that the model has increased traction on a wet road surface by 19 percent when the tread is worn out by 2/3.
15% increased mileage
Due to the wider tread, a special rubber compound, reduced deformation of the blocks in the contact area with the road surface, the use of "Delta" lamellas throughout the depth of the tread with a slope of 7° in the direction of wheel movement, it was possible to reduce the risk of uneven wear. As a result, the mileage has increased by 15 percent.
Main features of Michelin X MULTIWAY 3D XZE
- excellent traction characteristics with any road surface are obtained as a result of using a new rubber compound, an optimal tread pattern and a large number of lamellas;
- increased service life is achieved due to the use of unique additives in the rubber compound and the maximum contact patch;
- reduced fuel consumption during movement was achieved due to the more optimal distribution of tread wear and improved rolling resistance.
