Michelin X Multi HD Z 7.50R16 122L

Engineered for demanding regional and urban operations, the Michelin X MULTI HD Z 7.50R16 122L is a heavy-duty steer/all-position truck tyre that delivers long life and peace of mind on New Zealand roads. Its robust casing and cut- and chip-resistant compound stand up to rough chipseal, kerbing and yard work, while a wide, stable tread promotes even wear and dependable wet-weather grip. Built for high-scrub service, it helps reduce downtime and drive down cost per kilometre, and its highly retreadable Michelin casing extends tyre life across multiple lives. Fit the X Multi HD Z and keep your fleet moving.

Reinforced heavy-duty casing. Built on a Michelin Powercoil-based architecture with high-tensile, heat-resistant steel cords and a robust belt package, the Michelin X Multi HD Z 7.50R16 122L casing resists fatigue, curbing and shock loads typical of regional and urban multi-stop work. A Duracoil-stabilised bead zone and reinforced chafer distribute stress uniformly into the sidewall, lowering heat build-up at the ply turn-up for longer casing life. The result is a durable all-position/steer tyre platform that maintains footprint stability under high axle loads, supports regrooving, and delivers repeatable retreadability to maximise whole-of-life value and reduce downtime.

Deep high-scrub tread. An extra-robust tread depth with a high-wear, cut- and chip-resistant regional compound delivers slow wear on coarse chipseal and abrasive surfaces, while squared shoulders with tie-bars combat feathering and shoulder step-wear in high-scrub service. The tread cap sits over a cooler-running base compound to manage hysteresis and reduce heat generation during stop–start duty, improving resistance to crack initiation at groove bases. This architecture extends mileage, maintains even wear across steer and all-position fitments, and protects the casing by limiting thermal and mechanical stress.

3D Regenion sipes. Michelin’s evolving 3D sipes and interlocking tread geometry preserve block stiffness while continuously regenerating biting edges as the tyre wears, maintaining wet braking and lateral grip without sacrificing stability. Variable-depth, self-opening channels sustain water evacuation and void ratio over life, reducing the risk of groove cracking and irregular wear. The controlled deformation of tread elements lowers shear stress at the belt edges, keeping the contact patch consistent for confident handling across changing loads and regional speeds.

Infinicoil stabilising belt. A continuous Infinicoil steel belt wrapped circumferentially around the crown stabilises the tread at speed and under heavy loads, limiting circumferential growth and maintaining a flat, optimised footprint. This reduces strain on the belt package and ply turn-up, improving endurance on demanding regional routes with frequent roundabouts and tight manoeuvres. Enhanced crown stiffness also supports precise steering response and even wear, and protects the Michelin X Multi HD Z 7.50R16 122L casing to improve the probability of first-quality retreads.

Stone ejector grooves. Stepped groove bottoms and integrated stone ejector ridges are engineered to release trapped stones before they drill, protecting the belt skim from penetrations that can lead to corrosion and air migration. By preventing stone retention, the design keeps localised heat and stress concentrations low at the groove base, preserving carcass integrity and helping the tyre maintain uniform contact pressure. The result is fewer damage-related removals, better uptime, and a casing that remains in premium condition for regrooving and Michelin Remix retreading.
