According to the latest Truck Blue Book, Michelin X One super wide radials add $1,250 to the value of a used truck as fuel reduction technology.
The value-added designation is exclusive to Michelin X Ones, and not for super wides in general, the tiremaker said.
“X One tires continue to prove their value to drivers and fleets on tens of thousands of trucks and trailers across America,” said Ted Becker, vice president of marketing for Michelin Americas Truck Tires. “The designation by Truck Blue Book, supported by the Used Truck Association, is a clear indication of the growing share these wide single tires are taking in the market and the residual value boost they give to the used trucks in the industry.”
“We strongly considered the factual fuel and weight savings that X One tires provide for a tractor,” said Terry Williams, managing editor for Truck Blue Book. “After that, the decision to make them a value-added component was easy. Truck Blue Book recognizes value where it exists, and X One tires are valuable on used trucks.”
