In stark contrast, the X Multi Ts were removed after 140,000km with approximately 4mm remaining, at which point they were re-grooved &#8211; adding a further 3mm of tread depth and 25,000km to the life of the tyres.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19180\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19180\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19180\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Michelin-X-Multi-T-Hendrick-European-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Michelin-X-Multi-T-Hendrick-European-web.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Michelin-X-Multi-T-Hendrick-European-web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Michelin-X-Multi-T-Hendrick-European-web-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19180\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Irish haulier Hendrick European is suitably impressed with its set of Michelin X Multi T tyres, which have achieved double the mileage against three major competitors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Paul Hendrick, Workshop Manager and Company Director at Hendrick European, says: \u201cWe had never specified Michelin tyres before, but we knew a number of our competitors did so we wanted to see what we were missing out on. It\u2019s fair to say we were very surprised by the drastic results, particularly given we were comparing four top brands all offered as original equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur trailers are always on the road and each one can travel up to 100,000km a year. Now that we know what Michelin tyres are capable of we feel confident that when we specify Michelin tyres again, we will reap the benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The X Multi T offers excellent longitudinal grip and lateral grip on dry and wet surfaces due to its innovative tread design. They also deliver around 10 per cent more mileage than the previous generation Michelin XTE3 trailer tyres.<\/p>\n<p>Hendrick European operates a fleet of 50 tractor units and more than 90 trailers.
