Michelin LTX M/S2
|
 |
The LTX M/S2 is
Michelin’s Highway All-Season light truck tire developed to
combine long tread life with all-season capabilities for
vans, pickups and sport utility vehicles, as well as for
commercial vans, shuttles and chassis cab vehicles using
light truck tire sizes. The LTX M/S2 is designed to combine
a smooth, quiet ride with year-round traction in dry, wet
and wintry conditions, including in light snow. Compared to
the original LTX M/S, the LTX M/S2 is an evolution in
looks…and a leap forward in performance.
The LTX M/S2 molds a long wearing, silica-enhanced
all-season compound into a tread profile featuring
Michelin’s MaxTouch Construction to produce a contact patch
that promotes reliable traction and long wear by evenly
distributing acceleration, braking and cornering forces. A
symmetric tread design of stable independent tread blocks
featuring high-density 3-D Active Sipes delivers all-season
traction on dry roads and in inclement weather. Four wide
circumferential channels, multiple lateral grooves and open
shoulder slots promote lateral water evacuation to enhance
wet traction and stopping performance.
The tire’s internal structure includes twin steel belts
(three steel belts in Load Range D and Load Range E sizes)
to provide the strength and durability needed to handle
heavy loads.
NOTE: The LTX M/S2 Highway All-Season tire is NOT a
dedicated winter / snow tire. It does NOT meet the severe
snow traction requirements and is NOT branded with the
mountain/snowflake symbol. |
