The 59/80R63 XDR™ tire is designed for haul trucks.

• 2005: Michelin introduces the TWEEL™ non-pneumatic mobility concept.

MICHELIN® Earthmover Tires: Technology at WorkTread A thick layer of rubber ensures grip and durability when it makes contact with the ground.

Crown plies This double – or triple – reinforced belt offers both vertical flexibility and high lateral rigidity.

Sidewalls These cover and protect the textile casing that attaches the tire tread to the wheel rim.

Bead area for attachment to the rim Its internal bead wire clamps the tire firmly against the wheel rim.

Inner liner This makes the tire almost totally impermeable and maintains the correct inflation pressure.
