GREENVILLE, S.C., March 8, 2021 — Michelin North America, Inc., is launching its next generation on-/off-road, drive tire optimized for exceptional traction, toughness and wear performance. The tire is designed for the construction, energy, concrete, and logging sectors operating in mixed use conditions.
“Vehicles working in off-road conditions encounter rock, gravel, mud, debris and other demanding conditions but still have to meet critical deadlines. Safety is key and downtime is costly,” said Justin Brock, marketing manager of Construction, Michelin – Beyond Road Business Line. “We started the design process of this tire with the customer. We not only gathered insights, but also put the tires to the test on fleets using it in some of the most demanding environments. Therefore, we are confident the X Works D tire is designed to meet these challenges and we stand behind it with our six-month Road Hazard Guarantee”.
The MICHELIN X Works D tire, designed to maximize safety, uptime and efficiency, focuses on three benefits: Traction, Wear and Toughness:
The new MICHELIN X Works D tire is available in the United States and Canada in 11R22.5 and 11R24.5 sizes in load range LRH. X Works D is backed by Michelin’s Worry Free 6-month Road Hazard Guarantee5. To learn more about truck tires and services, visit the Michelin Business website.
