Michelin is a leading supplier of tyres to the UK's road haulage industry, with a full line-up of products including the latest X Energy SaverGreen range – designed specifically to save fuel in long-distance applications.
Michelin guarantees a tyre solution for all possible commercial vehicle applications, with tyres specifically designed for everything from long distance trunking and regional haulage through to urban distribution and arduous off-road tipper work. It also includes specialist tyres for use in challenging winter conditions, such as the XDW Ice Grip, introduced into the UK for winter 2011/2012. This tyre heads a family of all-season M+S-rated drive axle tyres, which offer fleets excellent traction and braking on low grip surfaces.
Fleets fitting Michelin tyres can also benefit from a unique 'Four Lives' package which ensures maximum performance, comfort, safety and economy. This is backed up by a complete tyre management service available via Michelin’s extensive ATS Euromaster and independent Michelin Truck Professional networks, offering true nationwide support.
The company is also no stranger to awards for safety itself. In 2010 its very own X One MaxiTrailer tyres won Fleet Safety Product of the Year at the Fleet Safety Forum Awards, organised by road safety charity Brake – just twelve months after winning Motor Transport’s own Innovation Award. And it’s no wonder really, considering they can significantly improve the stability and overturn angle of a 44 tonne tractor unit and trailer combination in comparison with regular 385/65 R 22.5 tyres.
