Casing Durability – Helps protect the working plies from bruising and penetrations, and downtime.
2. Dual Energy Compound Tread
No Compromise Fuel Efficiency and Tread Life – Delivers 20% longer tread life than Michelin XDA Energy tire thanks to the Dual Energy Compound Tread, with a top Mileage layer for long mileage and a bottom, cool running, fuel and durability layer.
3. Matrix Siping
Traction and Even Wear – Full depth, interlocking sipes with zig-zag walls to provide thousands of biting edges for traction, and lug-like performance for even wear.
