Michelin XZL Wide Base
This model is an all-terrain, all-position wide base tire developed for special service in extremely all-terrain applications to optimize traction and pressure distribution on the mixed surface, hard/abrasive surface, and severe off-road application.
The XZL Wide Base comes with an anti-cut/chip tread compound molded into a non-directional stable tread design that presents numerous open shoulders developed to provide exceptional traction in adverse weather and snow conditions. To improve mud, sand, and snow evacuation from under the tire contact patch this tire has self-cleaning offset elements designed to enhance traction and floatation capabilities.
This model presents exceptional casing life offered by deep, application specific compounds by improved resistance to aggressive and abrasion common in off-road application promoting exceptional mobility in all-weather conditions. One of the innovations used by Michelin is the full-width steel belt and elastic protector ply developed to increase the tire durability and strength, adding extra casing protection against most off-road hazards.
Michelin XZL Wide Base has a unique tread design to provide high aquaplaning resistance by better water and slush dispersion from under the tire footprint, delivering exceptional all-season traction combined with excellent mobility at the same time.
This model is available in 22.5-inch sizes, being one of the best all-position tire options for a wide range of heavy trucks (Off-Road/Government vehicles).
