Michelin Retread Technologies is expanding the retreadable offerings of its X One wide single truck tire line with the recent rollout of the X One XZU S Pre-Mold Retread.
“The X One XZU S tire has become a very popular tire in the urban and regional applications, especially for refuse vehicles,” says Tom Brennan, the line’s vice president and director. “Fleets have seen the advantages of X One tires and can now take full advantage of the X One XZU S retread to further reduce their operating costs.”
It is available as a Pre-Mold Retread in a 390/430 tread size.
Brennan says the tire provides a “long tread life and outstanding scrub resistance with 23/32 in original tread depth of an application-specific compound. The retread uses Michelin Co-EX technology — a two-layer compound designed to minimize casing temperature for longer casing life — and features a wing tread design for added protection on the shoulders.”
While the tread design is optimized for all-weather traction, according to Brennan, enhanced protection against stone drilling is also provided by variable pitch groove walls and groove bottom protectors. “When used in urban regional operations, Michelin X One wide single tires, featuring Infini-Coil Technology, provide optimized weight savings and significant fuel savings.”
