The Michelin XZY 3 is a premium all-position radial tire engineered for medium-duty commercial trucks and buses operating in demanding mixed on/off-road environments. Trusted by vocational fleets in construction, logging, waste management, and bulk transport, this tire line is purpose-built to deliver maximum durability, reliable traction, and long-term casing value across the toughest job sites and highway corridors.
At the core of the XZY 3's performance is an advanced anti-cut/chip tread compound that resists aggression, chipping, and scaling on abrasive surfaces and harsh terrain. A Center Groove Bottom Protector guards against stone drilling and aids in stone ejection to preserve casing integrity and reduce unexpected downtime. The aggressive 4-rib tread design with notched shoulders maintains outstanding traction in soft soil, mud, and wet conditions throughout the full wear life of the tire.
