XTXL Underground Transport Tire

The Michelin XTXL is available in size 35/65R33. Additional sizes of MICHELIN XTXL will be offered in the future for a wide range of underground mining transport machines.

• Supports transport equipment with up to 60-tonne load capacity
• Can carry 29,000 kg per tire inflated to 8 bar
• Features high ton per kilometer per hour (TKPH) rating of 250
• Ability to transport increasingly powerful machinery and their payloads helps improve mine productivity
• Resistant to impact, cuts and scrapes
• Easy to mount on tire rim
• Composed of fewer raw materials
• Lasts longer, helping reduce replacement costs and impact on environment
• Wide tread blocks and a solid center rib provide resistance to aggressions, increasing longevity and protecting the casing
• Protective ribs on sidewalls enhance abrasion resistance
• Thicker metal wire in casing ply enables operation at higher pressures and increases load capacity by 20%
• Steel-reinforced protective plies offer greater resistance to impact damage and decrease the likelihood of a puncture by 20%
• Tthermal underlay at the base of the tread and cooling elements in the shoulders speed the cooling process to maintain the tire’s working potential and thus aiding productivity
• B² technology strengthens bead area, providing greater endurance and longevity under heavy loads and high-torque conditions
• Internal bead structure and external contact area are 30% wider, improving tire and wheel contact points and eliminating rim slip
• Improved design allows up to 20% more engine torque to be transmitted to the ground
