Michelin North America Inc. has launched its new earthmover tire, the Michelin X-Mine L4, for the Komatsu WE2350/P&H L2350 large wheel loader, which is used in surface mining.
The size 70/70R57 Michelin X-Mine L4 radial tire delivers improved mobility and productivity due to a high tramming speed. It also does not require chain fitments on the rear axle due to its radial design, resulting in reduced tread wear, an even footprint, less deformation of the contact patch on the ground and an overall life expectancy increase of 50% or more. The tire is designed to run cooler due to its radial construction and compounds that keep it running at an optimal temperature at greater speeds.
