Michelin has introduced the X Works D pre-mold drive position retread, the latest addition to its Retread Technologies on-road/off-road line. The new retread has been designed to provide enhanced wear performance, toughness and traction for mixed and aggressive applications.
The Michelin X Works D pre-mold retread complements the Michelin X Works D new tire and “features exceptional traction in both new and worn condition”, the tire maker said. Stone ejectors and unique siping minimize stone retention, improve wear mileage and provide directional tread.
“The Michelin X Works D retread is designed specifically for the construction, energy, concrete and logging industries,” said Pierluigi Cumo, VP of B2B marketing for Michelin North America.
“These vehicles operate in aggressive and mixed-use environments, driving off pavement at least 10% of the time on a daily basis and subjecting tires to any number of harsh conditions.”
The company says the tread pattern provides a balance between stability and traction, helping drivers maintain control on various surfaces as the tire ages.
The new solution is available in the USA and Canada in six sizes: 210mm, 220mm, 230mm, 240mm, 250mm and 270mm, all with a tread depth of 30/32in.
“The innovative Michelin X Works D pre-mold retread delivers outstanding traction, durability and wear resistance for on and off-road fleets, reflecting our dedication to sustainability now and into the future,” said Cumo.
