Michelin X Line Grip D Offers More Benefits

Michelin North America Inc.’s new Michelin X Line Grip D drive tire delivers 20% more miles than the Michelin XDN2.

The SmartWay-verified tire also provides a 20% reduction in rolling resistance versus the Michelin XDN2.

"Based on testing of worn tires, the Michelin X Line Grip D tire provides more than 90% better snow starting traction and more than 25% better wet starting traction than the Michelin XDN2,” according to Michelin officials.

The Michelin X Line Grip D “is a revolutionary leap forward in drive tire innovation that provides exceptional mileage, lasting traction and features a durable casing designed to reach up to one million miles with up to four retreads."

The tire, which will be available in sizes 295/75R22.5 and 11R22.5, also has earned 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification.

"Additionally, fleets can get more out of their assets as the Michelin X Line Grip D tire is built on our Michelin Duracore casing, featuring Michelin’s Infinicoil and Powercoil technologies."

Pierluigi Cumo, vice president of B2B marketing at Michelin North America, says that “Michelin has a proven track record of delivering high-quality, reliable products that exceed performance expectations. This fantastic leap in drive tire technology brings new levels of performance to the road and new levels of savings for our customers.”
