The grip, control, and fuel efficiency of a tire become a lot less important when they are blown on the roadside. That begs the question: What tires last the longest?
Above all, truckers need tires that last longer. Durable tires are convenient and essential in a market that demands low expenses.
Combined with its parent company, C.R. England, England Carrier Services has over 100 years of experience choosing the right tires.
Here’s what we’ve found.
What Tires Last the Longest?
There’s no contest: The Michelin X® Line Energy™ series outlasts every competitor and offers some of the industry’s best fuel efficiency and traction.
Many manufacturers will lead you to believe you must choose between traction, fuel efficiency, or longevity.
The Michelin X® Line Energy™ series defies that expectation.
Here are the tires that go the extra (thousand) miles:
The Longest Lasting Steer Tires
The Michelin X® Line Energy™ Z+ is one of, if not the, best steer tires on the market.
The numbers speak for themselves:
- The XLEZ+ is designed to reach 1 million miles with up to 4 retreads. That’s more ‘extra miles’ than other steer tires across the industry.
- The XLEZ+ goes 17% farther than its predecessor… and its predecessor goes 20% farther than other baseline products.
- The XLEZ+ has 12% better rolling resistance than its predecessor. Better rolling resistance means greater fuel efficiency for fewer dollars at the pump.
