Michelin’s all-position on-/off-road tire

Jun 7, 2016

Michelin’s X Works Z all-position tire is designed to improve uptime in mixed on-/off-road applications. The X Works Z’s robust casing features a wide groove-to-groove protector ply, while a thick layer of shock-absorbing cushion gum adds removal mileage and protection and casing durability against impact shocks. The tire’s V-channels and groove bottom protectors help provide a dual-layered defense against stone retention and stone drilling. The sidewall features thick sidewalls to fight impacts and a double treatment of ozone resistor for increased protection against cracking. The tire is available in sizes 11R22.5, 12R22.5 and 11R24.5, load range H, and size 315/80R22.5, load range L, with size 12R24.5, load range H, set to launch later.
