Key benefits for XHA2 tyre
Michelin XHA2 Technologies
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.
Tyre life
(1) Compared to premium competitors (alternative producers 1 & 2), field study carried out by MICHELIN in real-life conditions over 5 years (2012-2017), on 170 tyres in Eastern Europe, Western Europe, China and Asia South Pacific; same sizes (23.5 R25, 26.5 R25 and 29.5 R25) and same application.
Robustness
(2) Test certified by Michelin Centre of Technology, conducted at the Mining Testing Centre in Almeria, Spain, in July 2016. Comparison of MICHELIN® X® HA 2™ against BRIDGESTONE® VJT, same size. All tyres followed the same protocols and configuration, same number of tyres tested. Test organised using a CAT 966 M, at 15 km/h, with 12,000 kg of load, at 4 bar pressure.
Treadlife
(3) Retreadability measurement carried out by Pneus Laurent over 2 years (2015-2017), on 578 MICHELIN tyres in the same size (26.5 R 25) in Europe. (4) Measurement certified by the MICHELIN Centre of Technology, conducted at the Mining Testing Centre in Almeria, Spain, in July 2016. Thermal measurements taken using a thermal imaging camera. Comparison of MICHELIN® X®HA 2™ 26.5 R 25 against Alternative producer 1 & 2 26.5 R 25. All tyres followed the same protocols and configuration (temperature, track), same number of tyres tested. Test organised using a CAT 966 M, at 15 km/h with a 12,000 kg load, at 4 bar pressure.
Comfort
(5) Test certified by the MICHELIN Centre of Technology, conducted in Ladoux, France in July 2021. Vibration measurement collected using a cushion-type vibration dosimeter. Comparison of Michelin® X®HA 2™ 23.5 R 25 against Michelin GLHA2 (retreaded XHA 2), Alternative producer 3 & 4 23.5 R 25. All tyres followed the same protocols and configuration (temperature, track). Test organised using a Volvo L120G following the manufacturer’s tyre pressure recommendations.
