U.S. Dept. of Energy Says MICHELIN®
X One® Tires Save Up To 10 Percent on Fuel
Oak Ridge National Lab’s four-year study compares X One tires to duals
Still don’t believe MICHELIN® X One® Tires can save you fuel? A recent 383-page report by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory confirmed what Michelin has been saying for years that wide single tires, like MICHELIN® X One® Tires, are more fuel efficient than duals on heavy trucks—to the tune of 6 percent overall and 10 percent with a fully-loaded tractor-trailer.
More than 700,000 real-world miles were driven by six instrumented tractors and 10 trailers over the course of the four-year test. The data was collected at five times per second on 60 channels for one year during the tests. Half of the tractors were outfitted with MICHELIN® X One® Tires, and half with standard duals. Half of the trailers were outfitted with MICHELIN® X One® Tires, two with standard duals, and three with dual retreads.

INTRODUCING THE NEW MICHELIN® XZA3® ANTISPLASH™ TIRE
Making Wet Highways Safer
Truckers who have come to rely on the fuel-efficient, long-lasting MICHELIN® XZA3® truck tire can now increase safety on the highway using Michelin technology. With the patented Antisplash™ deflector on both of the tire’s sidewalls, the new MICHELIN XZA3 Antisplash™ tire helps make highways safer by lowering the trajectory of water spraying from the tires. Lower splash trajectory means less water on windshields, significantly improving overall visibility in heavy rain for oncoming and overtaking motorists, as well as truck drivers.

- 80 percent wider shoulder rib than the XZA2® Antisplash™ tire
- Advanced Technology compounding with 19/32nds tread depth
