Equipped with Michelin's patented B2 technology, MICHELIN XTXL® E4/L4 minimizes rim slip thanks to flat bead wire, which strengthens clamping force on wheel and increases contact surface with rim. Tire also benefits from added solid steel cables, thick sidewalls, and steel belt offering protection against punctures in tread area. Shoulder design helps tire to cool quickly, while wide grooves and channels provide traction and grip on graded and loose ground conditions.
