June 4, 2024
The retread features enhanced traction in both new and worn conditions, stone ejectors, and siping to minimize stone retention, improved wear mileage, and directional tread.

The Michelin X Works D pre-mold drive position retread is the latest offering in the Michelin Retread Technologies on-road/off-road line and is designed to be the next-generation retread optimized for enhanced wear performance, toughness, and traction in mixed and aggressive applications.

As a complement to the Michelin X Works D new tire, the retread features enhanced traction in both new and worn conditions, stone ejectors, and siping to minimize stone retention, improved wear mileage, and directional tread.

“The Michelin X Works D retread is designed specifically for the construction, energy, concrete, and logging industries,” said Pierluigi Cumo, VP of B2B marketing for Michelin North America. “These vehicles operate in aggressive and mixed-use environments, driving off pavement at least 10% of the time on a daily basis and subjecting tires to any number of harsh conditions.”

With its tread design, the Michelin X Works D pre-mold retread offers a mix of stability and traction. Its tread pattern is designed to help keep drivers in control on multiple surfaces even as the tire ages.

"The innovative Michelin X Works D pre-mold retread delivers outstanding traction, durability, and wear resistance for on- and off-road fleets, reflecting our dedication to sustainability now and into the future," Cumo said.  

In the U.S. and Canada, the new product is available in six sizes: 210 mm, 220 mm, 230 mm, 240 mm, 250 mm, and 270 mm—all with a tread depth of 30/32 inches.
