Michelin Rolls Out New Regional Drive Tire

Michelin North America has introduced the Michelin X Multi D, a regional drive-position tire. The tire is designed for use in less-than-truckload, pick-up and delivery, food and beverage, and construction segments.

Michelin North America has introduced the Michelin X Multi D, a regional drive-position tire. The tire is designed for use in less-than-truckload, pick-up and delivery, food and beverage, and construction segments.

The tire is designed with an advanced regenerating tread that provides water evacuation and traction throughout the life of the tire, Micheli said. Full-depth Matrix siping allows for a biting grip as the tread wears. Michelin also said the tire features co-extruded scrub-resistant compound for enhanced mileage and cooler rubber compound to help minimize heat build-up for increased casing life.

“This next-generation regional drive tire offers first-class performance and is designed to excel in high torque applications and delivers all the key performance benefits needed in a regional tire — traction, high removal mileage and scrub resistance — with no trade-offs,” said Adam Murphy, vice president of marketing for Michelin Americas Truck Tires.

The X Multi D is backed by a confidence guarantee—if tire does not meet expectations for mileage, traction and driver satisfaction, then Michelin will reimburse the cost difference for a competitive drive tire, the tiremaker said.

The tire is available in the United States, Canada and Mexico in 11R22.5 size in load ranges G and H, and 11R24.5 size in load range H, with additional sizes will release in the coming month.

Michelin is also in development for a retread to complement the Michelin X Multi D, but is not prepared to release full details on the product at this time, the tiremaker said.
