Michelin X Multi T 275/70R22.5 148L

Choose the Michelin X MULTI T 275/70R22.5 148L for trailer applications that demand safety, uptime and low total cost of ownership. Designed for regional and urban haul, this premium trailer tyre delivers long, even wear, dependable wet grip and robust damage resistance on New Zealand roads. A strong Michelin casing supports high load stability, cooler running and excellent retreadability to extend tyre life and reduce waste. Optimised compounds help cut rolling resistance for fuel efficiency. Fit the X Multi T to keep your fleet moving, day after day.

Robust trailer-specific compound. Engineered for high-scrub trailer positions, the cap compound uses a high–molecular-weight polymer network and optimised carbon black dispersion to deliver superior tear, chip and abrasion resistance on coarse New Zealand chipseal and urban yards. A cooler-running base layer limits hysteresis and heat build-up under sustained loads, stabilising hardness across a wide temperature range and preserving tread block rigidity. The result is slower shoulder erosion in tight turns, fewer premature removals from chunking, and more usable millimetres to removal, directly reducing cost per kilometre for regional fleets.

Even-wear tread geometry. A wide, rib-oriented pattern with reinforced shoulders and inter-rib tie-bars equalises contact pressures across multi-axle trailer sets, mitigating heel-and-toe and river wear typical of docking and roundabout manoeuvres. Optimised groove angles improve lateral scrub management while maintaining water evacuation, so footprint shear is reduced without compromising wet performance. This stabilised wear profile extends casing viability for retread, keeps rolling circumference consistent for even brake balance, and lengthens service intervals.

Reinforced steel-cord casing. A robust, multi-belt crown package with high-tensile steel cords and a stiff bead apex distributes stresses uniformly, enhancing fatigue resistance under cyclic loading at typical trailer inflation pressures. Enhanced chafer and bead reinforcement limit fretting at the rim interface and protect against kerb and dock impacts, while cooler-running construction minimises ply-end separation risk. The casing retains geometry under high loads and prolonged parking, improving straight-line stability, helping prevent flat-spot vibration, and maximising retreadability over multiple lives.

Regroovable retread-ready design. Generous undertread gauge and clearly defined regroove indicators enable safe regrooving to reclaim additional tread depth while maintaining carcass protection, extending the first life before removal. The casing is built for dimensional stability and heat management, supporting high-quality Michelin Remix or other premium retread processes with reliable bonding surfaces and consistent crown contour. This design lowers tyre procurement frequency, reduces lifecycle CO2 and waste, and delivers materially lower total cost of ownership for New Zealand linehaul and regional operators.

Optimised rolling resistance. A low-hysteresis cap–base compound pairing and a stable, wide footprint reduce energy losses from cyclic deformation at highway speeds, improving fuel economy of the tractor–trailer combination without sacrificing wet grip. Crown stiffness and full-width belt support limit dynamic deflection, keeping temperatures in the optimal band on long descents and across the central plateau’s varying conditions. Fleets benefit from measurable fuel savings, consistent handling, and predictable braking performance across mixed routes.
