Michelin confirms its commitment to truck tire retreading with the expansion of its REMIX® 2 range
Backed by over 100 years of experience in retreading and thanks to the robustness and endurance of its casings, Michelin is expanding its REMIX® 2 range to include a second premium nominative hot retread for the MICHELIN X MULTI RANGE.
The REMIX® 2 range offers retreaded tires that comply with Michelin’s rigorous testing, manufacturing and quality control standards.
With REMIX® 2, Michelin is helping make haulage more sustainable by delivering the best balance between service life, performance, safety and operating costs.
Michelin strengthens and expands REMIX® 2 to the MICHELIN X MULTI range, the most versatile and best-selling range in Europe. Following on from the X INCITY range for urban transport and the X WORKS range for use on rugged terrain, a second premium hot retreading process is now available for X MULTI sizes 315/70 R 22.5 and 315/80 R 22.5.
A second premium nominative hot retread
Michelin offers its customers a second premium nominative hot retread by collecting their casings and returning them retreaded as REMIX® 2. The expanded REMIX® 2 range is available in France, Benelux, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Mileage performance, robustness and mobility
Michelin casings, renowned for their robustness and endurance, can be retreaded multiple times without compromising performance. As a result, Michelin REMIX® 2 tires deliver mileage performance close to 95% of that of new tires, while delivering the same level of grip, traction and safety.
The REMIX® 2 range offers retreaded tires with the same tread patterns and compounds as new tires, while complying with Michelin’s rigorous testing, manufacturing and quality control standards.
Produced in the same molds used for first retreads, REMIX® 2 tires carry the same markings as first-retread tires.
Substantial savings and sustainability
By extending tire service life, the Michelin REMIX® 2 range reduces operating costs for fleet managers. The cost of a retreaded tire is on average 60% of the price of an equivalent new tire, for similar mileage, i.e. a 33% improvement in cost per kilometer thanks to two premium retreads. In addition to extending tire service life, these processes help protect the environment by reducing the use of raw materials and CO2 emissions.
Each retread saves 50 kg of raw materials, with only 20 kg of materials added – a 70% saving compared to a new tire. Retreading six tires on a three-axle trailer saves around 300 kg of waste and reduces the number of tires requiring recycling. With up to 115 kg of CO2 saved per retreaded tire, retreading 100 tires can prevent over six tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Michelin, multi-life tire specialist for over a century
For more than a century, Michelin has been innovating to improve truck mobility by offering high-performance tires and services tailored to its customers’ needs. In 1923, Michelin introduced tire retreading – a process for reusing tire casings – and this innovation is still relevant today.
