{"title":"Michelin Commercial Tires","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree Michelin lines for the long-haul tractor and trailer: the X Line Energy Z steer, EPA SmartWay verified and guaranteed by Michelin to deliver 20% more mileage than leading competitor line-haul steers; the X Multi D+ regional drive with full-depth Matrix siping that keeps biting edges working as it wears; and the X Line Energy T2, Michelin's most fuel-efficient dual trailer tire. The casings are the point — X Line Energy Z and T2 carry Michelin's 7-year, 700,000-mile, three-retread casing warranty when retreaded by an authorized Michelin Retread Technologies dealer. One gap to know: Michelin builds no steer or drive tire in 285\/75R24.5, so that axle takes another brand.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"michelin-x-line-energy-z","title":"Michelin X Line Energy Z","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong highway miles on a steer axle, on a truck that gets judged on fuel as hard as it gets judged on tread. That is the job this tire is built for. Michelin files the X Line Energy Z as a steer and all-position tire and prints its application band as Line Haul and Bus\/RV. We quote it in two sizes, three builds: 11R22.5 in 14 ply (load range G, 144\/142 L, 105 psi), 11R22.5 in 16 ply (load range H, 146\/143 L, 120 psi), and 11R24.5 in 16 ply (load range H, 149\/146 L, 120 psi). All three run 19\/32 of tread and are speed rated L, which is 75 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tread is two compounds stacked. The top layer is the mileage layer. Under it sits an ultra-fuel-efficient base layer that does one job: hold casing temperature down. A cool casing is where both the low rolling resistance and the long casing life come from. At the shoulder, a decoupling groove and directional miniature groove-wall sipes provide even wear. The tread is directional for the first half of its life, so every arrow on an axle points the same way, and Michelin calls for a rotation at half life. The casing is regroovable to a published 2 mm, and Michelin’s limited casing warranty on that casing runs 7 years, 700,000 miles or 3 retreads — but only when an authorized Michelin Retread Technologies (MRT) dealer does the retread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow what it is not. It is not a drive tire and not a trailer tire. Steer and all-position only. It is not a winter tire either: Michelin’s own size data shows no 3PMSF and no M+S marking on any of the builds we quote, so keep it out of severe-snow lanes. It is not built for on\/off-road, urban stop-and-go, refuse or other high-scrub duty; Michelin puts that work on other lines. On sizes, disqualify yourself before you request a quote if you need one of these: there is no 285\/75R24.5 and no 295\/75R22.5 in this model, and 11R24.5 comes in 16 ply only. If you want a Michelin line-haul steer in 295\/75R22.5, that is the X Line Energy Z+, a different tire. Bus and coach operators, note 49 CFR 393.75: no regrooved, recapped or retreaded tires on the front wheels of a bus, so the retread value in this casing gets taken on drive or trailer positions, not back on a bus steer axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the axle job is the same and you want a second tire on the same quote, ask us about the Invovic FM303, our factory-direct steer and all-position radial, molded in Cambodia. It goes where the Michelin does not in exactly one place: 295\/75R22.5, a size Michelin does not build in this model. That is also the only size it comes in, so an 11R22.5 or 11R24.5 steer axle is a Michelin job here. The rest of the comparison runs the other way and we will not dress it up. The FM303 carries 14\/32 of tread against this tire’s 19\/32. It is not EPA SmartWay verified, no published mileage guarantee stands behind it, and there is no Michelin Retread Technologies casing warranty on the back end. If you get paid on fuel programs and sell casings at the end of the first life, the SmartWay verification and the MRT casing warranty — with its authorized-retreader condition — are the parts of the Michelin you are actually buying. Tell us the truck, the lane and the axle, put both tires on one quote, and compare the two all-in delivered numbers we send back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michelin","offers":[{"title":"11R22.5 \/ 14 Ply (G)","offer_id":53673435955476,"sku":"MICHELIN-X-LINE-ENERGY-Z-11R22-5-14","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11R22.5 \/ 16 Ply (H)","offer_id":53673435988244,"sku":"MICHELIN-X-LINE-ENERGY-Z-11R22-5-16","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11R24.5 \/ 16 Ply (H)","offer_id":53673436021012,"sku":"MICHELIN-X-LINE-ENERGY-Z-11R24-5-16","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/9107\/0484\/files\/michelin-x-line-energy-z_a1415a2d-7b60-4db4-aa7f-cf17cfcaa040.png?v=1787425283"},{"product_id":"michelin-x-multi-d-plus","title":"Michelin X Multi D+","description":"\u003cp\u003eA regional drive tire for tandem-drive tractors and box trucks that run the same lanes and come back to the yard. Michelin’s own application set for the X Multi D+ is regional and urban transport: city routes, pickup and delivery, short regional hauls, work where a drive tire spends its life on torque, curbs and stop-and-go instead of steady highway miles. It is the next-generation replacement for the X Multi D. We quote it in three sizes. 11R22.5 and 11R24.5 both run load range H, 16 ply, 146\/143 L and 149\/146 L, 120 psi max, 28\/32\" of tread. 295\/75R22.5 runs load range G, 14 ply, 144\/141 L, 110 psi max, 27\/32\". All three are speed symbol L, 75 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shoulder is a pass-thru open design, cut through to the outside so mud, snow and stone pack evacuate from the tread instead of packing into it. Between the blocks, full-depth Matrix siping runs the whole depth of the tread down into a tear-drop groove; Michelin’s claim for it is no loss of biting grip as the tire wears. The tread rubber is co-extruded and scrub resistant, which is Michelin’s answer to the curb rub and dock scrub of urban and pickup-and-delivery work. Under the tread, a full-width elastic protector ply takes bruising before it reaches the Powercoil casing ply, and that casing is what makes the tire worth sending through Michelin Retread Technologies later. Michelin prints High Torque Approved on the product sheet, which matters if you are speccing for an electric or high-torque tractor, and every size carries an RFID tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrive axle only. Michelin publishes position code D for this pattern and no steer, all-position or trailer approval, so it does not belong on a steer axle or under a trailer. It is not a line-haul drive either. Michelin lists no line-haul application for the X Multi D+, and that is also why it is not covered by the 7 Year \/ 700,000 Mile \/ 3-Retread casing warranty, which Michelin grants only on tires used in long-haul service and only when the casing is retreaded by an authorized Michelin Retread Technologies dealer. What it carries is the standard Michelin truck tire limited warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, for original tread life or 7 years from purchase, whichever comes first. It is not a severe-service or on\/off-road drive: Michelin caps the urban application at fleets that operate off road a maximum of 10% of the time. It is M+S marked but not 3PMSF, so it does not satisfy a severe-snow requirement. It is not EPA SmartWay verified and Michelin publishes no CARB status for it, so it cannot be quoted into a regulated fuel-economy spec; the SmartWay-verified regional drive in Michelin’s line is the X Multi Energy D. And the size list is short. There is no 285\/75R24.5 in this pattern at all, no load range G in 11R22.5 or 11R24.5, and no load range H in 295\/75R22.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the axle job matters more than the badge, have us quote the Invovic FM750 next to it. Same drive position, same open-shoulder approach, 27\/32\" tread in every size. It comes in 11R22.5, 11R24.5 and 295\/75R22.5, all in 16-ply load range H — the load range this Michelin carries in 11R22.5 and 11R24.5, and the one Michelin does not offer here in 295\/75R22.5. Neither tire is built in 285\/75R24.5, so that axle takes a different brand from either of us. Invovic is the brand we import ourselves rather than resell. What you give up is documented: Michelin’s published limited warranty, the Michelin Retread Technologies path for the casing with retreading done by an authorized MRT dealer, and the depth of the data on the page. For the Michelin we publish overall diameter, section width, revs per mile and approved rim widths; for the Invovic line we publish load index, load range and ply, max pressure, single and dual max loads and tread depth in every size, and no overall diameter, section width, revs per mile or approved rim widths. Invovic publishes no casing warranty and runs no retread program. Neither tire is EPA SmartWay verified, so that is not the line between them either. If you send casings back through a retread program, the Michelin is the one with a published retread path behind it; if you will run a tandem set to the wear bars and replace it, that path is worth less to you. Tell us the truck and the lanes, put both on one quote, and compare the two delivered numbers yourself — tires, delivery, tax and the state tire fee in one figure for each. We do not install: a local truck tire shop or mobile service mounts and balances them and bills you for that. Those numbers come back on the quote; we do not guess at them here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michelin","offers":[{"title":"11R22.5 \/ 16 Ply (H)","offer_id":53673436053780,"sku":"MICHELIN-X-MULTI-D-11R22-5-16","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11R24.5 \/ 16 Ply (H)","offer_id":53673436086548,"sku":"MICHELIN-X-MULTI-D-11R24-5-16","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"295\/75R22.5 \/ 14 Ply (G)","offer_id":53673436119316,"sku":"MICHELIN-X-MULTI-D-295-75R22-5-14","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/9107\/0484\/files\/michelin-x-multi-d-plus_63fbf7f3-af21-4aff-9715-686c5a51fce8.png?v=1787425285"},{"product_id":"michelin-x-line-energy-t2","title":"Michelin X Line Energy T2","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a free-rolling trailer tire for line-haul work — long, steady miles under a truckload trailer. Michelin publishes exactly one usage for it, long-distance transport, and exactly one axle position, trailer. It is the dual-fitment tire; the wide-base single is a different product. It replaces the X Line Energy T. Michelin’s own positioning is that this is their most fuel-efficient dual trailer tire for truckload, long-haul transportation, and Michelin displays SmartWay verification for it. We quote it in three sizes: 11R22.5 in load range G at 144\/142 L, 11R24.5 in load range H at 149\/146 L, and 295\/75R22.5 in load range G at 144\/141 L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fuel story comes from a two-layer tread. The top layer is a mileage compound Michelin says controls tread stiffness and stress to reduce irregular wear. Underneath sits an ultra-fuel-efficiency base layer that Michelin says minimizes internal casing temperatures for low rolling resistance. Four wide circumferential grooves and micro sipes along the rib edges put biting edges across a broad contact patch; Michelin’s internal testing puts its wet stopping, new and worn, ahead of two leading competitor tires. Tread is 11\/32\" in all three sizes. The casing is built to be run again: curb guards and upper sidewall ribs that Michelin says help fight sidewall damage at docks and in yards, and a rectangular bead bundle protecting the casing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrailer axles only. Michelin publishes no steer and no drive fitment for this tire, so do not spec it up front, whatever a retailer listing may say. It is not a winter tire — no 3PMSF severe-snow symbol and not even an M+S marking — so keep it out of snow-traction duty. Speed symbol L caps it at 75 mph. Michelin’s application chart is line haul and nothing else; regional, urban and on\/off-road stop-and-go are what the deeper X Multi range is for. Michelin’s additional coverage is a limited casing warranty — the casing, not the tire — and it applies only to tires used in long-haul service and requires retreading by an authorized Michelin Retread Technologies dealer, so mixed duty can forfeit it. On sizes: Michelin no longer catalogues the T2 in 285\/75R24.5, so this model covers three of the four sizes we quote. It is also not RFID-equipped and not MEMS-ready, so it will not feed a tire-monitoring system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the axle job matters more than the badge, the Invovic FM591 is our factory-direct trailer tire in the same position, molded in Cambodia and offered in 11R22.5, 11R24.5 and 295\/75R22.5, all in 16-ply Load Range H. This Michelin is Load Range G in 11R22.5 and 295\/75R22.5 and H only in 11R24.5, so the two share a load range in one size. It is the opposite bet on tread: 19\/32 in the 11R sizes and 20\/32 in 295\/75R22.5, against this Michelin’s 11\/32. That is removal miles and scrub tolerance instead of rolling resistance, and it is the right trade only if the trailer is not being bought on fuel. The rest of what Michelin documents, the FM591 cannot answer: the Michelin Retread Technologies pre-mold program with named matching retread patterns, EPA SmartWay verification, and published test substantiation you can go read. Fleets retreading on an MRT contract, or that require a SmartWay-verified tire, should stay on the Michelin. Neither tire is made in 285\/75R24.5, so that axle goes to the Bridgestone R123 Ecopia, Firestone FT492, Goodyear Endurance RST, Yokohama BluEarth 109L or Double Coin FT115 we also quote.
