Michelin North America Inc. has introduced a new drive-position retread the Michelin MD XDN 2 Pre-Mold.
Designed to deliver longer wear life, lasting durability and outstanding traction, the MD XDN 2 Pre-Mold is for use on regional, medium-duty vehicles with 19.5-inch tires.
“Delivery fleets are faced with tough start-stop, turning and curbing conditions as they get their products to market each day,” said Adam Murphy, vice president of marketing for Michelin Americas Truck Tires. “They demand a retread option that is as tough as the roads they drive on. The new Michelin MD XDN 2 Pre-Mold retread answers those demands with long, even wear and excellent traction.”
The MD XDN 2 Pre-Mold features an 18/32-inch tread depth for 190/200 tread sizes and a 20/32-inch tread depth for 210/220/230 tread sizes. Additionally, the tread design minimizes the internal casing temperature contributing to a longer casing and tread life and open shoulder grooves and full-depth sipes deliver excellent traction, Michelin said.
