To meet these requirements, the X Multi T2 range features many improvements compared to its pre- decessor – the Michelin X Multi T. With the re- inforced crown plies, the new tyre has improved resistance against road hazards by 26 per cent. The Michelin Regenion technology allows for a reduced mileage cost, a lifespan increased by 15 per cent and extended grip performance plus greater traction in all weather conditions.
With a new tyre tread design, the X Multi T2 has increased rigidity when cornering, with a 10 per driver greater safety. Lastly, a new rubber mixture against aggression. These new materials reduce damage and also allow for better retreading ca- pabilities, as well as increased mileage with less irregular rubber wear on the tread.
Kinder to the environment while being more ro- bust, the new X Multi T2 tyre uses less material. Therefore it weighs 1.7 kilograms less than its pre- and reduced CO2 emissions. All these top-of-the- range elements are the result of innovative and patented technologies.
The X MULTI T2 tyre is now available in dimension 11R22.5 at all Michelin authorised truck and trailer tyre dealers nationwide.
