Tire retreading, also known as recapping or remolding, is a process that involves replacing the worn tread of a used tire with a new tread. Retreading tires is perfect for fleets that want to cut their operating costs and environmental footprint. Learn how retreading your tires can have significant benefits on your business.
Why choose the MICHELIN X® INCITY EV Z tire?
Explore Michelin technology and innovation designed to support your business, reducing your costs while respecting the environment.
Mileage
The tire is optimized to maximize mileage for urban bus conditions and for the reduction of irregular wear
thanks to a wear-resistant tread pattern utilising Michelin REGENION technology and Michelin INFINI-COIL technology to provide long lasting even wear.
Durability
Extra thick sidewalls create strong protection against sidewall damage from shocks, impacts and curb scrub. The sidewalls are also equipped with sidewall wear indicators to promote timely tire rotation for long casing life and enhanced retreadability.
Plus, with INFINI-COIL technology, over 850 feet of patented metallic cable applied at 0 degrees help to stabilize the footprint shape for even wear, while providing additional protection from shocks and impacts.
Load Capacity
Supports a higher load capacity: 8 tons capacity on front axle to carry battery (for Electric Vehicle) while keeping passenger capacity. (1)

Up to 8 tons due to the +15% load capacity as defined in ETRTO when the average speed does not exceed 40 km/h (25 mph). LI 152 for single fitment = 15,700lbs / 7100kg + 15% = 18,055lbs / 8165 kg on front axle.
Traction
REGENION technology allows for longitudinal and lateral adherence to be maintained throughout the life of the tire. Full width grooves also appear at end of life for improved wet traction.
