Fuel efficiency provides a competitive advantage and improves your bottom line.

1. REDUCE ROLLING RESISTANCE WITH MICHELIN® X ONE® TIRES
Reduce rolling resistance and increase fuel economy with MICHELIN® X One® wide base single tires. These tires have two sidewalls, which results in less flex when compared to the four sidewalls that dual tires have. In addition to less flex, these tires are designed with advanced tread and casing technologies.
One MICHELIN X One wide single tire and wheel weigh less than two duals and two wheels. Every 10% drop in truck weight reduces fuel use between 5–10%3. With the weight savings offered by MICHELIN X One tires, a truck fleet can carry more payload.
