Michelin 445/50/R22.5 XLine T2


The Michelin X ONE LINE ENERGY T2 445/50R22.5 is a SmartWay-verified low-rolling-resistance radial trailer tire optimized for line-haul commercial applications, boasting 20-ply construction, a 161L load index, L speed rating (up to 75 mph), 12/32-inch tread depth, and a 39.4-inch overall diameter for exceptional fuel efficiency and longevity.

Key Benefits

  1. Fuel Efficiency

    • Minimizes internal heat and lowers rolling resistance, reducing fuel consumption.

    • Dual-compound tread: a cooler base layer for efficiency and a top layer for wear and grip.

  2. Even, Long Tread Wear

    • Micro-siping prevents irregular wear and provides biting edges for traction.

    • Optimized contact patch and dual tread layers contribute to uniform wear.

  3. Durability

    • Infini‑Coil® steel cable around the casing maintains footprint stability and reduces casing growth.

    • Curb guards and reinforced sidewalls reduce sidewall damage and unexpected downtime.

  4. Traction

    • Good wet-road grip due to tread design and micro-siping, even as the tire wears.

  5. Retreadability

    • Built for long casing life, suitable for retreading.

  6. Line-Haul Optimized

    • Designed for line-haul trailer applications, balancing fuel savings, mileage, and durability.
