New regional drive-position truck tire boasts mileage, scrub resistance and traction benefits.

Michelin Americas Truck Tires, a division of Michelin North America, has introduced the Michelin X Multi D, a regional drive-position tire for use in less-than-truckload, pick-up and delivery, food and beverage and other demanding vocational segments.

The company says the X Multi D is a versatile tire designed with an advanced regenerating tread that provides water evacuation and traction throughout the life of the tire while full-depth Matrix siping allows for a biting grip as the tread wears.

The tire features co-extruded scrub-resistant rubber for first class mileage and cooler running rubber to help minimize heat build-up for increased casing life.

This next-generation regional drive has been designed to excel in high torque applications and delivers all the key performance benefits needed in a regional tire  traction, said Adam Murphy, Vice President of Marketing for Michelin Americas Truck Tires.

The X Multi D performance is backed by a confidence guarantee. If the tire does not meet expectations for mileage, traction and driver satisfaction, then Michelin will reimburse any cost difference for a competitive drive tire.

The tire is available in the United States, Canada and Mexico, in 11R22.5 size in load ranges G and H, and 11R24.5 size in load range H, with additional sizes to follow in the coming months.
