Description Michelin X WORKS XD
The Michelin X Works XD summer tire is designed for trucks operating in any conditions. The manufacturer is renowned for its technological solutions and innovations. The development of this model utilized advanced technologies and the latest equipment, resulting in excellent driving characteristics and proven quality, confirmed by many global standards.
Unique Tread Pattern
The company's specialists spent a lot of time developing the tread pattern, taking into account all possible nuances of tire operation. The result fully justified all expectations, the tire has excellent driving parameters (passability, handling, stability, etc.). The central row of unusually shaped blocks increases directional stability and improves feedback. The blocks in the lateral zone have sharp ground hooks, which increase handling during maneuvers and improve passability in difficult conditions. A special system of lamellas increased grip on wet road surfaces and reduced the sound effect when moving. This increased the comfort of movement and reduced the risk of aquaplaning.
The lamellas have an optimal angle of inclination, so regardless of the tire's position relative to the road surface, they provide maximum grip. The deep channels between the blocks prevent stones from getting stuck and increase passability on soft soils, which usually quickly clog the tread.
The optimal tread structure significantly increased the contact patch, improving stability when driving at any speed. The tread has an increased depth, so even with a long service life, it provides excellent operational characteristics.
New Rubber Compound of the Michelin X Works XD Tire
When creating the tread, a new rubber compound was used, which has a number of advantages. New additives have increased the elasticity of the rubber in any weather conditions. As a result, the Michelin X Works XD tire has a minimal recovery time and reduces the load on the suspension elements. The increased silicon content has increased the wear resistance of the tread, which has increased the service life of the tire. The new rubber compound, together with the optimal arrangement of blocks, has reduced the rolling resistance coefficient. This has ensured reduced fuel consumption during movement.
Reinforced Casing
When developing the casing, a special cord and steel ring were used. Due to this, the tire casing can withstand maximum loads and provide reliable protection of the tread from possible damage. Now, even when operating in difficult conditions, the tire will be reliably protected from aggressive influences.
Main Features of the Michelin X Works XD Tire
- excellent directional stability and quick feedback are achieved due to the use of optimally selected blocks in the central part of the tread;
- maximum protection against damage and the ability to withstand increased loads are provided by a high-strength casing;
- prevention of aquaplaning was achieved due to the application of a new lamella system and optimized water drainage channels;
- increased passability is achieved by sharp ground hooks and deep channels between the tread blocks, which provide rapid self-cleaning.
