Michelin said its new XZA3+ Evertread steer tire, which is EPA SmartWay-verified, delivers fuel savings while also guaranteeing more miles than the competition.
According to the company, the new steer tire “is guaranteed to last at least 30% longer than the competition in long-haul applications. For complete details on the guarantee, visit the Michelin Americas Truck Tires website.”
“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,” said 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.”
Michelin’s Dual Compound Tread technology allows tire designers to utilize multiple rubber compounds at different places in the tread, the tire maker said. One compound is specifically engineered to control tread stiffness and stress to reduce irregular wear, while another delivers ultra fuel-efficiency and keeps the tire’s operating temperatures low, guarding the casing for retreading, Michelin added. The tire also features an enhanced inner liner, bead area and rectangular bead bundle. It comes with a three-retread limited warranty.
The new generation 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.
