Michelin Americas Truck Tires, a division of Michelin North America Inc, announced the launch of the Michelin X One Multi Energy T, a wide-base single-trailer tire for regional operations that is US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SmartWay-verified.
This latest addition to the X One family of tires delivers a significant reduction in irregular wear and outstanding fuel economy, while allowing fleets to carry more than 700 pounds of additional freight versus dual applications.
The X One Multi Energy T is engineered with breakthrough Advanced Casing Technology design, which changes the casing shape of the tire during use to reduce irregular wear. This results in a contact patch with a consistent footprint, regardless of payload weight. Solid shoulder architecture delivers significant wear improvement, and the Infini-Coil Technology provides a consistent footprint for improved removal mileage. Compared with the Michelin X One XTE, the X One Multi Energy T delivers a 15% reduction in rolling resistance.
The X One Multi Energy T tire, which replaces the X One XTE, is available now in the 445/50R22.5 size. The 455/50R22.5 size will be available in early 2015.
