New Michelin X MultiWay XD Truck Tire
20 july 2009
In August 2009, Michelin will introduce the Michelin X MultiWay XD truck tires for the driving axle in size 295/60R22.5.
According to the company's statement, thanks to the new tires, drivers of large trucks will be able to transport goods more safely, despite the quality of the road surface and weather conditions.
The tires can be installed on the largest trucks, including tractor-trailers, and are capable of covering thousands of kilometers on highways in both summer and winter. The developers also took into account that customers often need to travel on narrow secondary roads, and sometimes trucks have to overcome congested city streets. At the same time, an important factor for transportation companies is the increased carrying capacity of the tires, which allows for the transportation of heavier loads, reducing transportation time and optimizing expenses without compromising safety.
The Michelin X MultiWay XD tires for the driving axle will be offered in size 295/60R22.5, which has never been produced by Michelin before.
Michelin X MultiWay XD tires increase the level of driver safety thanks to a self-repairing tread that continues to provide optimal traction even when the tread is worn by two-thirds. Such durability also reduces the operating costs of transportation companies.
The tires are manufactured using the Michelin Durable Technologies package. These innovative technologies can be applied in tire production both together and separately, depending on the properties that the new tires should possess. The self-repairing tread of the Michelin X MultiWay XD is one example of the new developments being implemented by Michelin.
Tires of size 295/60R22.5 are typically used for heavy trucks and tractor-trailers. Tires of this size allow manufacturers to design trucks with an additional height that increases cargo capacity. Over the past five years, this segment of road transport has experienced unprecedented growth, which has affected the increased demand in the low-profile truck tire sector, and sales of 295/60R22.5 tires have doubled over this period.
