The new Michelin XZA3 steering tyre guarantees at least 30% more mileage.
This latest tyre in the XZA range promises to be popular for a number of reasons. The most important is improved mileage. Michelin is so confident that this tyre will go the distance that they are prepared to guarantee it. If they don’t achieve the promised additional mileage, they will pay twice the difference in cost between this tyre and the competitor’s tyre.
The long tyre life is achieved through a new dual compound tread. One layer consists of a mileage layer, which controls tread stiffness and stress to reduce irregular wear. The second layer consists of an ultra-fuel-efficiency and retreadability layer. This layer minimises internal casing temperatures for low rolling resistance and extended casing life.
The wide, flat tread pattern allows for optimal handling and responsiveness. Directional miniature sipes in the groove walls, and enhanced shoulder ribs, help maintain even tyre wear throughout the tyre’s life. A full-width elastic protector ply protects the casing from bruising and penetrations. The enhanced inner liner, robust bead area and rectangular bead bundle prevent casing fatigue, and allow the casing to be retreaded at least three times. Source: www.michelintruck.com
