Key benefits for X-CRANE 2 tyre
Michelin X-CRANE 2 Technologies
RFID technology
An RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip is a smart electronic component that receives and transmits radio signals (wirelessly), so a product can be identified in a unique, standard way. The identification of all Michelin tyres using reliable miniature RFID chips fitted in the tyres means they can be tracked throughout their life cycle, from manufacturing to recycling. This patented technology is being marketed so that it becomes widespread in the tyre industry.
The radial tyre
This tyre was a real breakthrough thanks to its exceptional performance: incredible longevity (it lasted 2 to 4 times longer than a conventional tyre), greater safety, and, above all, reduced vehicle fuel consumption.
Michelin REGENION technology
Self-regenerating tread blocks, supported by our mould 3D metal printing techniques, providing grip throughout the tyres lifetime. New grooves emerge over the tyres life for enhanced mobility. In 2018, the two Michelin engineers behind REGENION technology won the European inventor award in the industry category.
THE VOICE OF EXPERTS
Safety
(1) REGENION and DURACOIL technologies have been developed by Michelin
Productivity
(1) Comparison based on the 445/95R25 178F X-Crane 2 operating at its nominal speed of 80 km/h versus the 445/95R25 174F X-Crane +. As of the update of this web page, in 2025, the 178F index of the X-Crane 2 tyre is an ETRTO Experimental Standard, identifiable by the HLM marking.
Energy efficiency
(1) Results are based on tests certified by Dekra at the Ladoux Test Centre in November 2024, comparing the MICHELIN X-Crane 2 and Bridgestone VHS2 tyres in the 445/95R25 size. The tests followed the same protocols, configurations and vehicle, with a speed limiter set at 85 km/h. Fuel consumption was measured over 9 laps and recorded at the end of the 10th lap before exiting the track.
