- EVEN WEAR: Reinforced tread plies to flatten contact patch and improve uneven wear.
- MULTI-LIFE: Reinforced bead, thanks to Duracoil technology enhances bead endurance for multiple retreadabality
STRONG SAFETY PROFILE
- SUPERB HANDLING: Self-regenerating tread design for better vehicle control in all driving conditions.
- ALWAYS IN CONTROL: Reinforced tread plies that help reduce the risk of sudden pressure loss for better vehicle control.
- DURABLE: Strengthened bead endurance for reduction in tyre damages linked to repetitive long distance high-speed usage.
ONTIME PERFORMANCE
- CONTINUOUS MOBILITY: Self-regenerating tread design improves mobility in all weather conditions
- EXTENDED USAGE: Infinicoil technology extends mobility even when punctured
- MORE UPTIME: Stronger bead endurance for reduction in tyre damages linked to continuous usage cycle
PERFORMANCE GAINS THANKS TO FOUR MICHELIN-PATENTED TECHNOLOGIES:
REGENION: the tyre’s self-regenerating tread maintains good grip in all conditions throughout its working life thanks to the emergence of new grooves as it wears.
INFINICOIL: a continuous steel wire wrapped around the tyre not only improves resilience in demanding running conditions but also delivers rolling resistance and durability gains.
POWERCOIL: a new generation of particularly strong steel cables for a lighter casing, superior longevity and lower rolling resistance.
DURACOIL: a new bead design that notably incorporates high-resistance nylon to strengthen the lower part of the tyre’s sidewall and simplify retreading.
PERFORMANCE AND VERSATILITY, FROM NEW TO THE END OF THE TYRE’S WORKING LIFE
All X® MULTI™ tyres feature the 3PMSF symbol which indicates better grip performance in all weather conditions. Even when part worn, with just 2mm of remaining tread depth, MICHELIN X® MULTI™ tyres continue to benefit from 3PMSF certification (***).
Like all Michelin truck and bus tyres, MICHELIN X® MULTI™ tyres can be regrooved and retreaded, thereby contributing to Michelin’s ‘Everything Sustainable’ plan. Extended tyre life in-line with circular-economy thinking allows truck operators to reduce both their running costs and their environmental footprint, while still benefiting from the maximum potential of their tyres
The new MICHELIN 295/ 80 R22.5 X® MULTI™ Z2, is now available at Michelin’s authorized truck tyre dealers’ outlets across the nation.
