Michelin X Incity EV Z Tire
The company explains the new tire range supports the transition towards cleaner, more efficient and more independent electric mobility solutions -- a key factor in achieving sustainable cities.
The tires have a load capacity of eight metric tons and incorporate a wear indicator on their side, which indicates when tire rotation needs to occur. Michelin says its Regenion technology means the X Incity EV Z range is built with a progressive tread design that delivers longitudinal and lateral grip. The tire is regroovable and retreadable and has been marked 3PMSF (three-peak mountain snowflake).
