Friday, August 05, 2011 New X Works XDY Tire and XDY-EX2 Tire for On/Off Road
 Michelin Americas Truck Tires (MATT) is introducing two new tires for on/off road applications.
The new MICHELIN X Works XDY commercial truck tire is designed for exceptional traction and wear in on/off road applications, while the new MICHELIN XDY-EX2 tire is Michelin’s most aggressive drive axle tire for extreme operating conditions, such as logging, oil fields and mining.
The X Works XDY tire provides enhanced durability due to a more robust tread design, delivering a 10-percent mileage improvement when compared with the MICHELIN® XDY®3 tire. Uptime is maximized with the directional tread design, improving the efficiency of mud evacuation to provide greater levels of traction. Maximum tread and casing life is achieved with Co-Ex Technology, which combines a top tread layer of chip and tear resistant compounds with a cool base tread layer to preserve the casing. The tire features extra-thick sidewall protection to guard against shocks, snags, impacts or other damage, and it is available in two sizes: 11R22.5, 11R24.5.
The XDY-EX2 tire improves on the last-generation XDY-EX tire, offering better off-road and mud traction from an aggressive tread design with more void area. Maximum tread and casing life is once again obtained due to Co-Ex Technology. With extra-thick sidewalls, the XDY-EX2 tire provides considerable protection from the shocks, snags and impacts typically associated with severe service. The tire is available in an 11R24.5 size.
