ERJ staff report (DS)
Stoke-on-Trent , UK -- Michelin UK has introduced a new all-purpose drive axle tyre called the Michelin X MultiWay which, the company says, is ideally suited for both road and motorway use in all weather conditions.
The new tyre incorporates Michelin Durable Technologies and Michelin claims the product offers up to 30 per cent mileage improvement over Michelin's XDE2+ product. The tests were carried out on a fully laden vehicle driving on smooth concrete at the slow speed of 46 km/hour.
The Michelin X MultiWay is initially available in two tyre sizes, 315/70 R 22.5 XD and 315/60 R 22.5 XD.
