CV SHOW PREVIEW
Michelin to Preview New Trailer Tyre at CV Show
Michelin has announced that it will be hosting an exclusive preview of its new 385/65 R 22.5 X Multi T trailer tyre during the CV Show. The new tyre, which is aimed at both national and regional operations, is planned for launch during the summer and has been designed to offer improvements in longevity, grip and rolling resistance compared
to the current XTE3 trailer tyre of the same size.
Sharn Samra, Michelin’s Head of Truck Marketing in the UK and Ireland, says: “Being able to display the new 385/65 X Multi T at the CV Show is a major coup as it’s the first time this tyre will have been exhibited anywhere in the world. It’s testament to the importance of the UK and Irish
Sharn Samra
markets to Michelin.
“The 385/65 is the second most popular commercial vehicle tyre size sold domestically and accounts for approximately 16 per cent of the market. We see huge potential for the X Multi T.
“The XTE3 has been a strong performer for years, both as original equipment and as replacements; but the X Multi T will be a game-
changer in terms of
trailer tyre
performance.”
Michelin is placing
huge importance
behind its attendance
at this year’s CV
Show – its first since
2011. The company
will have a
comprehensive line-
up of 10 different
tyres on display,
including examples of
its popular X
MultiWay 3D and fuel-saving X Line Energy ranges.
Also on display will be an example from the Michelin XML line-up; an all-round fitment for trucks operating both on and off-road, where good grip on all types of terrain, from mud and sand to grass, snow or tarmac is required.
