Michelin is planning its largest ever display of 17.5\u201d and 19.5\u201d tyres at this year\u2019s CV Show, following the roll-out of additional sizes and tread patterns in its all-new X Multi range.<\/p>\n

Six of the new tyres will feature on Michelin\u2019s 144m\u00b2 stand in Hall 5, including three multi-position and three drive patterns \u2013 each safer, more fuel-efficient, quieter and longer-lasting than the ten year old XDE2s they replace. The new range is purpose-designed for small and medium trucks from 7.5 to 16 tonnes, as well as midi-coaches.<\/p>\n
The new tyres offer total performance year-round on all types of road thanks to their 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake) certification, awarded following tests in defined snowy conditions. The accreditation shows the tyre has passed the \u201csnow grip index\u201d requirements \u2013 standards not necessarily met by tyres simply labelled M+S (Mud and Snow).<\/p>\n
Full-depth sipes ensure excellent handling from the first to the last kilometre, whilst new tyre architecture delivers an average 5dB reduction in noise across the range. This makes the new X Multi fitments around 50 per cent quieter than the previous generation \u2013 enhancing their suitability for out of hours delivery vehicles and passenger transport.<\/p>\n
Chris Smith, Head of Truck Marketing at Michelin Tyre plc, explains: \u201cThe introduction of the new X Multi range gained real traction at the end of 2014 with an influx of new sizes \u2013 and there\u2019s more on the way in March.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith our brand new 17.5\u201d and 19.5\u201d tyre range very nearly complete, it makes perfect sense to put them under the spotlight at the biggest industry event of 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also expected to attract significant attention will be the all-new 385\/65 R 22.5 Michelin X Line Energy F. Available from February 2015, it opens access to Michelin\u2019s latest generation long distance fuel-saving tyres to those heavy truck fleets running super single steer tyres.<\/p>\n
In total Michelin plans to display at least 12 commercial vehicle tyres on its stand, spanning its complete range of long-distance, regional, urban and on\/off-road commercial vehicle tyres \u2013 each purpose-designed to offer the lowest total cost of ownership.<\/p>\n
