Michelin X Works Grip D tire is designed for on- and off-road use for fleets and owner-operators who are focused on traction.
Traction is created by staggered shoulder blocks that provide lateral grip to handle slippery conditions, and sawtooth lugs with more than 800 serrated edges that maximize grip on ice and snow-packed surfaces. Through the combination of an extra-wide tread and an optimized rubber-to-void ratio, traction is maximized without sacrificing mileage, according to the company. Ejectors around the center block fight stone retention and drilling, and shock, impact, and road hazard protection is possible through four steel belts at the crown of the tire.
