Michelin’s wide-base retread for refuse trucks

Apr 28, 2016

Michelin XOne XZUS Pre-Mold Retread Michelin’s X One XZU S+ Pre-Mold retread is designed for all-position wide-base single tires used by urban waste and refuse trucks. The retread features a winged tread that helps enhance shoulder protection in high-scrub stop-and-start applications. It features a 29/32-inch-deep tread depth and an optimized straight rib design that both contribute to added wear life. The company’s proprietary Co-Extrusion technology and a two-layer compound help minimize the casing’s temperature to facilitate added durability.
