Description Michelin X MULTIWAY T
The Michelin X MULTIWAY T truck tire for the steering axle of long-haul trucks has been very warmly received by Western European carriers, as well as their counterparts from Eastern Europe, many of whom consider it the best in its class. This opinion was formed due to its very high traction properties, which remain virtually the same even with significant tread wear. At the same time, it is impossible not to note the very long service life, which is significantly superior to what analogs from competitors can demonstrate.
Excellent traction in any conditions
The design of the tread pattern of this tire allows it to demonstrate most of its numerous advantages. Its layout is typical for models of this class and functional purpose. However, a number of features allow it to surpass most competitors in terms of traction and durability.
First of all, this is the design of the shoulder areas of the Michelin X MULTIWAY T, which are distinguished by very massive sizes. They are connected by rigid bridges with a row of located tread ribs, which allows these elements to work as a single whole when moving. In practice, i.e. in real operation, this is expressed in good stability and quick response to steering wheel turns, as well as increased resistance to uneven wear.
High braking efficiency
Another feature of the tread design of this tire is the presence of a large number of transverse traction edges. All of them are formed by numerous V-shaped lamellas that contribute to limiting the mobility of the tread ribs, as well as reducing rolling resistance. However, the main advantage of this solution is a significant increase in braking efficiency, especially in adverse road conditions.
Main features of Michelin X MULTIWAY T
- "all-weather" tread pattern provides good traction in both summer and winter;
- excellent longitudinal traction properties due to a large number of transverse traction edges;
- short braking distance, thanks to a multitude of V-shaped lamellas.
