Michelin X Multi D 245/70R17.5 M

The Michelin X MULTI D 245/70R17.5 M is a drive-axle regional tyre engineered to keep your fleet moving with confidence and control. It delivers outstanding traction and long-lasting mileage for multi-drop and medium-haul work, with self-regenerating tread features that maintain grip as the tyre wears. Certified 3PMSF and M+S for surefooted braking and traction in wet and winter conditions. A robust Michelin casing resists shocks and scrubbing and is highly retreadable to lower total cost. Built for even wear and dependable handling on NZ roads—choose X Multi D and order with confidence.

Regenion evolving tread pattern. Michelin’s self-regenerating groove and sipe architecture maintains a high density of biting edges as the Michelin X Multi D 245/70R17.5 M wears, preserving water evacuation and traction throughout the tread life. Interlocking 3D sipes stiffen under torque to resist block deformation and heel-and-toe wear, while emerging channels restore void ratio deeper in the tread, supporting consistent grip on wet, cold and abrasive regional roads. The result is predictable handling and shorter wet stopping distances over more kilometres, with lower heat build-up that safeguards the casing for subsequent lives.

3PMSF winter-certified traction. Carrying both 3PMSF and M+S markings, the Michelin X Multi D 245/70R17.5 M is validated for snow performance, delivering reliable drive-axle traction in alpine conditions and on low-temperature, wet or slushy surfaces common in regional haul. High sipe density, multi-angle biting edges and open shoulder geometry enhance longitudinal and lateral grip under power, while a silica-enriched compound maintains elasticity near freezing. This ensures dependable startability on grades, stable braking and regulatory compliance where winter markings are required, without compromising dry-road durability.

Infinicoil stabilising belt. A continuous steel cable wrapped circumferentially stabilises the crown, controlling growth and maintaining a uniform contact patch under heavy loads and high torque. This Michelin Infinicoil reinforcement reduces casing deformation and heat, improves resistance to crown fatigue and belt-edge separations, and delivers even wear across the footprint. Fleet operators gain sharper steering response from the drive axle, enhanced retreadability and consistent performance across multiple axle positions and load cycles typical of regional distribution.

Powercoil durable casing. Next-generation high-tensile steel cords in the Michelin Powercoil casing deliver superior strength-to-weight, improving fatigue resistance in the sidewall and crown while lowering hysteresis to help reduce rolling resistance. Optimised cord angles and rubber-to-cord adhesion enhance impact robustness and minimise ply-end stress, supporting higher uptime on coarse chipseal and mixed regional routes. The casing runs cooler for longer, protecting structural integrity and maximising acceptance for Michelin Remix retreading.

Retreadable multi-life concept. Engineered from the outset for multiple lives, the Michelin X Multi D 245/70R17.5 M combines a robust, cool-running casing with regroovable tread to extend first-life mileage and preserve carcass integrity for retreading. Precisely placed undertread rubber and reinforced bead zones support clean buffing and consistent bonding during Remix, delivering near-new performance with reduced cost per kilometre and lower environmental impact. This multi-life approach helps fleets optimise total cost of ownership while maintaining traction and durability across successive tyre lives.
