Firstly, the Michelin XTE2 Wide Base features a large footprint that maximizes stability and surface contact. This minimizes the risk of wobbling or swaying, making sure the cargo is safe. Moving on, the three center ribs increase the handling precision, enabling the trailer to accurately follow the towing vehicle. Moreover, the ribs increase traction and gripping power, ensuring a smooth ride in wet and dry conditions. Equally important, the smart sipe placement creates extra biting edges with the road, boosting grip and fighting off heat accumulation. This prevents overheating during long trips, increasing mileage and rubber life.
What's more, the four zig zag grooves enhance wet performance by quickly throwing water away from under the footprint. This allows the Michelin XTE2 Wide Base to grip the road with confidence, even in slippery conditions. Its closed shoulders raise stability and improve the cornering ability, helping you tow safer on winding roads. Thanks to its reinforced sidewalls, this tire can safely withstand heavier loads. The modern rubber compound not only resists wear and tear but also minimizes rolling resistance. This improves fuel efficiency for the towing truck, helping you save on fuel costs. Lastly, this model is available on the US market in popular sizes with rim diameters of 20" and 22.5".
