When I was operating the equipment yesterday and today [without chains on the rear tires], I didn't notice any problems at all [with the 70/70R57 MICHELIN® X MINE® tires] in relation to the ground or the machine.
MICHELIN X MINE L4
The first radial tire constructed for the Komatsu WE2350/P&H L2350 large wheel loader delivers improved mobility and productivity(1), protection, and longer tire life(2).

Why choose the MICHELIN X MINE L4 tire?
Boosting the productivity of the world’s largest wheel loader.
Explore Michelin technology and innovation designed to support your business, reducing your costs while respecting the environment.
Productivity
Higher tramming speed than a competitor tire that can improved mobility and mining productivity(1)
The casing is made from a single radial layer of steel cables and original tread depth is 8% deeper.(2) The crown is stabilized by a belt package construction that comprises several layers of metallic plies.
Durability
Excellent protection and wear resistance for the harsh mining environment due to the robust radial construction(3)
The steel cables found in the MICHELIN X MINE radial tire provide a robust architecture, resulting in outstanding endurance under the harshest mining conditions.
Tire Life
Tire life expected to last at least 50% longer than the competitor tire(2)
Runs cooler for increased tire endurance (4). Radial construction provides tire strength and protection. Sidewall and tread bands work independently resulting in reduced surface deformation.
