Michelin says its new Michelin XZA3+ Evertread steer tire will get 30 percent more miles than the competition.
“Michelin is always looking to build on our existing industry-leading products and bring to market new technologies that deliver the next level of performance without compromise,” says Ted Becker, vice president of marketing, Michelin Americas Truck Tires.“The XZA3+ Evertread tire, with its use of Michelin’s new patent pending Dual Compound Tread, is proof of this idea. In fact, Michelin is so confident in the XZA3+ Evertread tire that we guarantee fleet and owner-operators will get more road than competitive tires.”
The company also says the tire is able to deliver significantly longer wear life due to its new generation of Co-Ex Technology, the patent pending Dual Compound Tread. This technology allows tire designers to utilize multiple rubber compounds at different places in the tread. One compound is specifically engineered to control tread stiffness and stress to reduce irregular wear. Another compound is said to deliver ultra fuel-efficiency and keep the tire’s operating temperatures low, guarding the casing for retreading. The tire also features a three-retread limited warranty.
The XZA3+ Evertread tire is now available in North America in four G-load range sizes: 11R22.5, 275/80R22.5, 11R24.5 and 275/80R24.5; as well as two H-load range sizes: 11R22.5 and 275/80R22.5.
