May 6, 2015

Michelin XZA3+ Evertread Michelin Americas Truck Tires added two sizes to its XZA3+ ultra-fuel-efficient steer tire – 11R24.5 and 275/80R24.5, both load range H and both reinforced with more steel belts for added carrying capacity to meet market and original equipment demands that require steer tires to handle heavier tractor weights. The XZA3+ line also includes those same sizes in load range G, as well as 11R22.5 and 275/80R22.5, both available in load ranges G and H. The XZA3+ line is designed for added casing retreadability and has earned U.S. Environmental Protection Agency SmartWay verification.
