Michelin X Multi D+ 11R22.5 148L

Michelin X MULTI D+ 11R22.5 148L+ is a regional drive-axle truck tyre engineered to cut cost per kilometre and keep your fleet moving. Its deep, multi-condition tread delivers dependable traction on wet, cold and mixed New Zealand roads, while a robust casing ensures durability and excellent retreadability. An optimised contact patch promotes even wear and high mileage, with confident braking and stability under load. Built for frequent stops, kerbing and varied routes, X Multi D+ helps reduce downtime and fuel consumption—your smart, reliable choice for regional and urban freight.

3PMSF-Certified Drive Traction. Validated to UNECE R117 with the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake marking and M+S designation, the Michelin X Multi D+ 11R22.5 148L+ uses full-depth 3D self-locking sipes and intermeshing shoulder grooves to generate high shear-force transfer under torque, delivering secure traction on wet, slushy, or snow-dusted regional routes. The optimised lug-to-void ratio across the drive ribs maintains a broad, pressure-balanced footprint for predictable lateral grip while resisting heel-and-toe wear under engine braking. Block-edge biting geometry is engineered to evacuate water and fine aggregate efficiently, reducing hydrodynamic lift at the contact patch to stabilise braking distances in New Zealand’s variable conditions. The result is confident, year-round mobility and dependable startability on grades, with consistent performance from new through to end of serviceable tread.

Regenion Evolving Tread. Michelin’s Regenion technology integrates mould-in 3D features that open as the tread wears, actively renewing longitudinal and transverse channels to maintain void volume, water evacuation capacity and edge density without sacrificing rubber-to-road contact. As the pattern evolves, interlocking bridges stiffen the blocks under load to suppress micro-slip and limit heat build-up, curbing irregular wear in stop–start regional work. This preserves traction and braking throughout the tyre’s life while keeping rolling resistance low, helping fleets protect fuel consumption metrics. Crucially, the evolving geometry keeps the tyre predictable at half-worn and near-regroove stages, extending the usable mileage window before retread or replacement.

Infinicoil Belt Stability. A continuous Infinicoil steel reinforcement is wrapped circumferentially around the crown to stabilise the footprint under high torque and fluctuating loads, minimising growth and maintaining contact patch uniformity at highway speeds. This reduces belt-edge shear and distributes contact stresses evenly across the drive ribs, combating river wear and cupping on regional pavements with coarse chipseal. Lower dynamic deformation reduces hysteresis losses and internal heat generation, protecting the casing against fatigue in long-haul segments between urban deliveries. The net effect is crisp handling, improved tread wear regularity, and extended first-life mileage that supports lower total cost per kilometre.

Powercoil Durable Casing. High-tensile Powercoil steel cables in the casing deliver superior strength-to-weight performance, giving the Michelin X Multi D+ 11R22.5 148L+ enhanced endurance with reduced mass for lower rolling losses. The cable construction and advanced cord coatings improve flex-fatigue resistance and corrosion protection, safeguarding the carcass through repeated heat cycles and curbing ply separations in demanding regional duty. Reinforced bead and chafer zones stabilise the lower sidewall, improving bead seating integrity under high torque and frequent coupling/uncoupling. This robust architecture preserves structural integrity for regrooving and multiple retread lives while supporting high load indices common on New Zealand freight routes.

High Retreadability Assurance. The tread and undertread packages are engineered with a generous buffable layer, protective belt skim compounds and a cut- and chip-resistant cap, enabling clean casing returns and optimal adhesion during Recamic or third-party retread processes. Strategic stone-ejector features and tapered groove shoulders help prevent stone drilling and belt penetrations on coarse surfaces, reducing repairable damage that can compromise retread yield. Controlled heat generation and uniform wear profiles maintain casing geometry, simplifying shearography inspection and improving retread acceptance rates. For operators, this translates to predictable regroove stages, multiple retread cycles, and a materially lower cost per kilometre over the tyre’s service life.
