The MD XDN 2 Pre-Mold retread — a drive-position retread optimized for long wear life, lasting durability and outstanding traction — for regional, medium duty vehicles with 19.5" tires.
Michelin Americas Truck Tires, a division of Michelin North America, Inc., has introduced the MD XDN 2 Pre-Mold retread — a drive-position retread optimized for long wear life, lasting durability and outstanding traction — for regional, medium-duty vehicles with 19.5" tires. It has attributes consistent with food and beverage, parcel package and pick-up and delivery applications.
"Delivery fleets are faced with tough start-stop, turning and curbing conditions as they get their products to market each day,” said Adam Murphy, vice president of marketing for Michelin Americas Truck Tires. “They demand a retread option that is as tough as the roads they drive on. The new Michelin MD XDN 2 Pre-Mold retread answers those demands with long, even wear and excellent traction.”
The Michelin MD XDN 2 Pre-Mold retread features an 18/32" tread depth for 190/200 tread sizes and a 20/32" tread depth for 210/220/230 tread sizes. The tread design minimizes the internal casing temperature to contribute to a longer casing and tread life. Wide, open-shoulder grooves provide outstanding wear and full-depth sipes deliver excellent traction.
