Single tyres increase payload

Replacing conventional twin tyres on trucks with the new X One XDN 2 Grip single wide tyre is claimed by manufacturer Michelin to save 130 kg per drive axle and improve the payload by that amount.

Available as a 495/45 R 22.5, the tyre is claimed to offer 30% more grip in wet weather and 15% more when pulling away on ice and snow, compared with the X One XDA 2 Energy.
