Michelin has launched the new Michelin X One Line Energy D2 Pre-Mold retread tire line for long-haul applications. The line includes three tires: X One Line Energy D2 Pre-Mold, X One XDS Pre-Mold and X One XDS2.
Michelin refers to the X One Line Energy D2 Pre-Mold retread tire as its “lowest rolling resistance heavy truck drive retread to date.” The company says it was designed for fuel savings and strong traction.
“The Michelin X One Line Energy D2 Pre-Mold’s new ultra-low rolling resistance levels are designed to exceed SmartWay and CARB requirements,” said Pierluigi Cumo, B2B vice president of marketing for Michelin North America, Inc. “Its compact tread design, with less flexibility in the tire tread between the tread surface and tire carcass, provides better energy conservation for greater fuel efficiency.”
Michelin X One XDS 2 Pre-Mold tire was designed for extreme winter conditions, Michelin said. The tire maker says that this tire capitalizes on weight savings of the new generation wide-based tire by adding a significant traction retread offer.
Finally, the Michelin X One XDS2 recap is specifically made to tame the Canadian winters’ cold weather environments, and is available as a retread only, the company said.
