Every 10% drop in truck weight reduces fuel use between 5–10%.(2) With the weight savings offered by the Michelin X One® tire, a truck fleet can carry more than 700 pounds (aluminum wheel vs. aluminum wheel) or more than 1,300 pounds (steel wheel vs. aluminum wheel) per vehicle with the Michelin X ONE® tire fitment in both the driver and trailer axles.

Compared to dual tires, Michelin X One® tires extend vehicle track width for improved stability. They also offer a larger footprint for superior traction.

4. Simplify Tire Maintenance and Support Uptime
With only 10 tires to mount, demount and pressure check, the MICHELIN® X One® tire can save your fleet time and money compared to duals. And when it comes to pressure checking, you don't have to worry about reaching an inside dual. There is only one tire, and that tire offers an easy-to-access valve.
5. Extend Tire Life Through Retreading
Michelin X One® tires are retreadable, just like any radial truck tire.
Michelin Retread Technologies® offers “like new” tread designs and compounds to help maintain second life performance.
Michelin's Infini-Coil® ensures the retreadability of the Michelin X One® tire casing by delivering better crown endurance and zero casing growth.
