Michelin has unveiled its new MICHELIN X WORKS™ range, which will be rolled-out in Europe from 1 April 2016 both as original equipment and on the replacement market. It's designed to provide construction sector clients with the best possible productivity solution in the two core-market sizes 315/80 R 22.5 Z (all-position) and D (drive axle), and 385/65 R 22.5 T (trailer) and Z (all position), irrespective of the usage:

  • Increased mileage for site deliveries with the new MICHELIN X WORKS™ tires.
  • Productivity and ruggedness on construction sites with the MICHELIN X WORKS™ HD (Heavy Duty) tires.
  • Ruggedness and traction on rough surfaces, such as quarries, with the new version of the MICHELIN X FORCE™ tire.
