Michelin launched the 10.00 inch R20 Michelin X Multi tube type radial tyres in India. Manufactured in India, this range of tube type radial tyres is specially engineered for the Indian road and load conditions for commercial vehicles. Mohan Kumar, Commercial Director, Michelin India said, “We are confident that this tyre range will offer international standards of versatility, safety and optimised operating cost efficiencies to fleet owners that transport goods across the country.” The tyres offer a new tread rubber compound, which it claims will offer better rolling resistance, that would inturn result in lower fuel consumption. Additionally, the 1mm tread depth with an improved tread design promises a better grip on wet and dry roads, for a safer driving experience, and better tyre mileage. The crown ply and reinforced bead also claim to enhance the tyres capability to be retreaded multiple times. Starting at Rs.20,000 onwards plus local taxes, the 10.00 inch R20 Michelin X Multi D (drive axle) is already being sold, while the 10.00 inch R20 Michelin X Multi Z (steer axle) will be available April 2016 onwards.
