Michelin Introduces a Single Replacement for RV Duals

RVers have been seeing single tires that replace the duals on trucks for some time. However, this technology has not been available to RVers until now. Michelin has introduced the new X One XRV that replaces your rear duals with a single tire. This new tire promises increased fuel efficiency for your RV. Michelin has incorporated it’s new technology called “infini-coil” that helps eliminate casing growth and stabilizes the pavement contact area on the tire for longer tread life and even wear across the tread. To give you an idea of how big these tires are here is a picture of the Dr. of RVology kneeling next to one. There is 1/4 mile of steel wire in each of these tires. This tire will run on pressures of 75 psi to 120 psi depending on your load. It has a special wheel that replaces your dual wheel assembly. Just think about this, once these babies are on your coach, you’ll only have four valve stems to deal with. Keeping you rolling down the road - Jim Twamley, Professor of Rving.
