Overview: The MICHELIN XTRA DEFEND E4/L4 tire is designed for high-performance applications in wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks (ADT). It is engineered to withstand aggressive cycles on hard soil and mud conditions, providing enhanced productivity, robustness, and versatility.

Specifications: The tire features a new load capacity suitable for high torque wheel loaders and ADTs, with a casing designed to handle up to 56,779 lbs (25,750 kg). It offers increased protection and can operate up to 14 km in one hour at temperatures up to 47°C. The tire construction includes a reinforced crown and summit for resistance to aggression, with up to 50% mass metal and a thicker summit with up to 5 plies.

Technical Characteristics: The tire's load capacity is dependent on inflation pressure and speed, with detailed specifications provided for various sizes and applications. For example, the 26.5 R25 model has a section width of 221 mm, an outer diameter of 1,740 mm, and a tread depth of 68.5 mm. The tire is compatible with specific rim sizes and offers dual spacing options.

Applicable Vehicles: The tire is suitable for use in wheel loaders and ADTs, with specific load capacities and inflation pressures outlined for different machine uses. The document provides detailed tables for load capacities in both kilograms and pounds, based on inflation pressure in bar and psi.

Additional Information: The document references the MICHELIN Earthmover Databook 2024 for further details on specific models and load capacities. It also highlights internal comparisons and certifications by the MICHELIN Center of Technology in Ladoux, France.
