Michelin XDR2

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information about Michelin's XDR2 tires, designed for rigid dump trucks, emphasizing profitability, safety, and environmental benefits.

Specifications:

Extended Tread Life: The XDR2 offers up to 20% additional tread volume, with a self-cleaning tread pattern and a 13% larger central lug compared to the XDR model.
Non-Directional Design: Features increased rubber volume and significant cooling capabilities, enhancing the contact patch when the tire is half worn.
Improved Casing and Bead: C² technology reduces heat build-up, and a smoother profile distributes sidewall stress better, reducing cuts.

Environmental Sustainability:

Michelin's manufacturing process is ISO 14001 certified, with a 22% reduction in environmental impact since 2005.
The tires are free of aromatic oils, contributing to an environmentally-friendly design.

Durability and Safety:

Protection plies are 60% stronger, offering superior resistance to cuts and aggressions.
Corrosion isolating cables prevent the extension of corrosion sources.

Technological Integration:

XDR2 tires are MEMS ready, allowing easy installation of electronic sensors.

Available Sizes: The document lists various sizes with corresponding tread depths and compounds, suitable for different truck models.

Conclusion: Michelin's XDR2 tires are positioned as the reference for rigid dump truck tires, offering enhanced profitability, safety, and environmental benefits.
