Michelin X Multi T2 215/75R17.5 J

Engineered for trailer axles on regional and metro routes, the Michelin X MULTI T2 215/75R17.5 J delivers outstanding mileage, even wear and uptime. A robust, retreadable casing with reinforced steel cables stands up to scrubbing and impacts, while evolving tread grooves help sustain wet-road grip throughout the tyre's life. Optimised footprint and compound reduce rolling resistance to save fuel and lower CO2, without compromising stability or load capacity.

Regenion Self-Regenerating Tread. Michelin’s 3D-printed Regenion sipe architecture in the X Multi T2 evolves as the tread wears, exposing fresh groove volume and interlocking biting edges to maintain wet braking, lateral stability and stone-ejection efficiency throughout the tyre’s life. The variable-depth sipes and self-supporting bridges stabilise tread blocks under trailer axle shear, limiting heel-and-toe and shoulder feathering on New Zealand chipseal, while preserving effective void ratio for water evacuation. This stabilised, regenerating pattern sustains contact pressure uniformity, extending usable tread life and helping fleets secure a lower cost per kilometre across multiple service and retread cycles.

Infinicoil Continuous Belt. A single, continuous high-tensile steel cable is wound circumferentially around the crown, delivering exceptional growth control and casing stability under high dynamic loads typical of HPMV trailer sets. By minimising crown strain and belt edge deflection, Infinicoil reduces heat build-up and combats shock-induced separations from potholes or coarse aggregate, enhancing puncture resistance and keeping the footprint consistent at highway speeds. The result is flatter, more stable wear across all positions, improved steering response of the combination, and a casing that remains dimensionally true for predictable, high-quality retreading.

Powercoil Durable Casing. The X Multi T2 incorporates Michelin’s Powercoil new-generation steel cords with optimised filament counts and brass coatings to resist corrosion and flex-fatigue, while reducing mass to lower hysteresis. Combined with a robust bead package and reinforced turn-ups, the casing controls sidewall deflection under high lateral scrub, limiting ply shear and maintaining bead seat integrity on modern wide-base rims. Lower running temperatures safeguard the innerliner, preserve air retention, and increase retreadability, enabling more Remix or third-party retread lives without compromising structural reliability.

Optimised Trailer Contact Patch. An optimised, square footprint with tuned rib stiffness and a decoupling shoulder manages the intense lateral and torsional forces experienced by trailer axles during tight yard manoeuvres and roundabouts. Advanced FEA-driven pressure distribution and tie-bar placements mitigate localised stress peaks, suppressing irregular wear patterns such as river wear and shoulder tearing on coarse surfaces. This delivers measurable gains in tread life uniformity, consistent rolling resistance over time, and predictable handling, helping fleets keep trailers in service longer between rotations and replacements.

Low Heat Cap Base Compound. A dual-layer cap/base tread uses a high-grip, wear-resistant cap over a low-hysteresis base that wicks heat away from the belt edges and bead area under sustained high loads. The polymer blend and optimised carbon black/silica ratio reduce energy losses in the contact patch while maintaining wet traction, lowering rolling resistance without sacrificing cut/chip resistance on regional routes. Cooler running temperatures slow oxidation of the skim stock, protect cord adhesion, and preserve casing integrity, directly improving fuel consumption and maximising the retread potential of the Michelin X Multi T2 215/75R17.5 J.
