Clermont, France - Michelin Tires., a tire manufacturer, has introduced the new XHA3 tire for wheel loaders, motor graders and articulated dump trucks, offering improved durability, lower maintenance requirements and enhanced traction across demanding construction applications.
According to Michelin, the XHA3 delivers 20% greater wear life compared with the previous XHA2 model. Its redesigned tread features increased rubber volume, which the company says can help reduce maintenance costs by approximately 16%.
A key addition is Michelin’s new visual pressure control system integrated into the tire sidewall. The feature enables operators to check inflation status through a simple visual inspection without relying on electronic sensors or external monitoring equipment.
The XHA3 also features a reinforced bead area designed to withstand high torque, along with a four-block tread pattern and progressive shoulder radius to improve traction and stability.
Designed for mixed operating conditions, the tire can be used across surfaces ranging from mud and rough construction terrain to asphalt, supporting a wide range of heavy-equipment applications.
