Michelin announced a new retread on Thursday.
The Michelin X Works D pre-mold drive position retread is now available in the U.S. and Canada. It's the latest addition to Michelin's on-road/off-road line, featuring traction in both new and worn condition, stone ejectors and unique siping to help minimize stone retention, improved wear mileage and directional tread.

"The Michelin X Works D retread is designed specifically for the construction, energy, concrete and logging industries," says Pierluigi Cumo, vice president of B2B marketing for Michelin North America. "These vehicles operate in aggressive and mixed-use environments, driving off pavement at least 10% of the time on a daily basis and subjecting tires to any number of harsh conditions."
Michelin says the X Works D pre-mold retread offers a mix of stability and traction with a tread pattern designed to help keep drivers in control on multiple surfaces even as the tire ages.
"The innovative Michelin X Works D pre-mold retread delivers outstanding traction, durability and wear resistance for on- and off-road fleets, reflecting our dedication to sustainability now and into the future," Cumo says. "Michelin believes that finding a harmonious balance between social, economic and environmental issues is critical to safeguarding the planet's future."
The retreads are available in both the U.S. and Canada in six sizes: 210 mm, 220 mm, 230 mm, 240 mm, 250 mm and 270 mm. All of the retreads have a tread depth of 30/32".
