(1) Compared to MICHELIN X-STRADDLE 480/95R25, average performance by port site, between 2008 and 2012. Projected improvement in tyre life based on field performance in customer port sites of the MICHELIN X-STRADDLE 2 450/95R25 compared to the MICHELIN X-STRADDLE 16.00R25, that included individual design improvements incorporated into the MICHELIN X-STRADDLE 2 480/95R25.
(2) At the nominal pressure of 10 bar, carrying 17 tonnes at 22 km/h to 25 km/h. The additional inner volume is compared to MICHELIN X-STRADDLE 16.00R25 and MICHELIN X-STRADDLE 2 450/95R25 tyres.
(3) Compared to MICHELIN X-STRADDLE 480/95R25: max distance of 12 kilometres in one hour and 30 mph max speed. Characteristic of the product measured with the TKPH indicator. Distance per hour is directly correlated to the tonnage transported in an hour.
