Features and Benefits of Michelin Stabilx XZM
- Tough sidewalls and crown
- Three layers of steel under the tread
- Flexible radial casing
- Increased tire life compared to premium competitors
- Large footprint with protection bands on sidewalls
- Tubeless build
First of all, the Michelin Stabilx XZM has a non directional tread pattern that increases surface contact and ensures stability at all times. The large tread blocks improve traction and provide smooth forward and reverse movement. Moving on, the deep interlocking grooves boost the self cleaning ability to prevent slippage and clogging in harsh settings. These channels throw mud, debris, and other ground parts away, increasing safety and reducing wear. In addition, strong tread bars connect the blocks to reduce the chances of deformation under high load stress. Besides, the open shoulders maximize stability and offer crisp handling, even in harsh conditions. Its build can support weights of up to 46,300 lbs per single tire, depending on size, speed, and PSI.
What's more, the Michelin Stabilx XZM comes with sidewalls that function separately from the tread. Several plies stabilize the crown, ensuring constant balance and higher durability. Furthermore, the rigid crown reduces the risk of downtime by resisting wear and tear. Three layers of steel under the patch increase durability against deep cuts and punctures, promoting more retread cycles and higher resistance to damage. According to Michelin, this model has a +160% increase in tire life compared to other premium competitors. The large footprint with two protection bands on the sidewalls not only raises durability but also boosts control. At last, the tough rubber compound ensures a long service life without downtime or costly repairs.
