Michelin tyres on new 130

**dromader driver** · 29th July 2009, 08:03 PM

Got the brochure on the new 130 but really needed the cab chassis brochure. Marketing people never fail to amaze me.

For the new 130 what's the Michelin tyre designator. Couldn't find it on their australian website. Currently using xza as mostly on road.

Thanks

The 130s use the Michelin XZL muddies on 'perforated' steel rims.

I saw a 110 Hi-Cap pickup on the LR drive day that had different Michellins on it. Not as agressive as the XZLs but more aggressive than the General Grabbers. Can't remember the name but it wasn't letters (like XZY, etc) but a name.

Michelin Latitudes are the ones fitted to the base model.

Michelin XZL 7.50R16C. They look ok, time will tell how they perform.

XZL's are excellent tyres. Never had any issues with them ... except probably the $'s
