Michelin launches new tire for light-duty commercial trucks
Michelin has introduced a new Agilis CrossClimate 2 tire for light-duty commercial trucks.
“Michelin recognizes the dedication of the workforce that keeps life in motion, and we’ve created a tire that works just as hard,” said Pierluigi Cumo, vice-president of B2B marketing at Michelin North America. “To deliver every job on schedule, customers need a tire forged with the same strength and resolve as the dedicated individuals whose drive fuels the community they serve. They are the few who drive the many.”
The all-weather tire has 70% more sidewall rubber than the Firestone Transforce HT2, offering better protection against curb damage, Michelin claims. It also delivers 35% more mileage than the Firestone Transforce HT3, the company claims.
It also boasts 35% better snow traction than the Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse HT tire.
“The Michelin Agilis CrossClimate 2 tire is the equivalent of rolling up your sleeves and powering through a job. It doesn’t take breaks, and it doesn’t back down,” said Cumo.
“From the job site to the highway, this tire doesn’t flinch. The AgilisCrossClimate 2 tire approaches every task with the precision and pride of a master craftsman.”
The tire is offered in 18 sizes, covering 90% of the commercial light truck market, with more sizes to be launched in October.
