The tire’s advanced tread compound is credited in part for the fuel savings it can deliver. The X One Line Energy D2 is a directional tire for the first half of its life, Kirian explained. The tire is designed for industry-leading fuel savings, to lower total cost of ownership, and provide exceptional traction and driver confidence, according to to the tire maker. The tire is available in a 445/50R22.5 L tire size and has a 20/32 tread depth. The product is designed to reinforce Michelin X One fuel savings superiority versus dual tires, the company said. The X One Line Energy D2 tire is available for line-haul, dry van truckload, and refrigerated truckload applications. ORLANDO, Florida- Michelin unveiled the X One Line Energy D2 drive tire at American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council 2022 Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition, which Nate Kirian, Michelin VP of B2B sales North America, said "is our lowest rolling resistance tire that we have ever launched." ![]()
