Michelin X-One XZUS 455/55R22.5

Engineered for demanding urban and vocational work, the Michelin X-ONE XZUS 455/55R22.5 is a wide single all-position tyre that replaces duals to cut weight, lower rolling resistance and boost payload. Its scrub-resistant compound, reinforced sidewalls and curb-bar protection deliver outstanding durability on refuse, concrete and metro delivery routes. An optimised tread pattern promotes even wear and confident wet grip, while a retreadable Michelin casing helps maximise total life and reduce cost per km. Order with confidence today.

Ultra-wide single design. Replace duals with a single wide-base Michelin X One XZUS to cut unsprung mass, reduce rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag, and unlock payload capacity while maintaining axle load capability; the larger, more uniform footprint equalises contact pressure, improving thermal management and braking stability under stop–start urban duty, and the simplified wheel-end lowers maintenance complexity by eliminating dual spacing, trapped debris, and mismatch-induced irregular wear.

Urban-scrub resistant tread. A high net-to-gross tread with solid shoulders, reinforced tie-bars and abrasion-optimised polymers resists lateral scrub from tight turns, roundabouts and kerbing typical of refuse and metro delivery cycles; the compound’s elevated carbon-black structure and anti-tear elastomers deliver high tear strength and cut/chip resistance, while chamfered groove edges and 3D interlocking sipes stabilise blocks to minimise heel–toe and river wear, extending usable tread life and keeping cost-per-kilometre predictable.

InfiniCoil crown reinforcement. A continuous zero-degree steel cable wrapped circumferentially around the crown stabilises the casing under high load and torque, controlling growth and footprint distortion for precise steering and reduced heat build-up; by maintaining uniform contact pressure across the width, the Michelin X One XZUS improves wear regularity and wet braking, and the mechanically robust crown package enhances retreadability by protecting belt edges against fatigue and rust-jacking.

Co-extruded dual compound. Michelin’s co-extruded tread pairs a cool-running base layer to dissipate heat into the casing with a high-wear cap engineered for scrub resistance and wet grip; this architecture lowers hysteresis losses for improved fuel efficiency, protects the steel belts from thermal degradation in stop–go service, and preserves casing integrity for multiple retread cycles, enabling fleets to extend tyre life through regrooving and retreading without compromising safety margins.

Reinforced kerb-guard sidewalls. Thickened sidewall rubber with moulded kerb ribs and a robust bead area shields the casing from abrasion and impact when brushing kerbs, reducing cord exposure and air loss; additional chafer reinforcement and bead apex stiffness improve rim retention and spread stress over a wider area, limiting ply fatigue during frequent docking manoeuvres, while ozone- and crack-resistant compounds help the Michelin X One XZUS maintain appearance and structural integrity between service intervals.
