Michelin expands its Crossgrip tire range with two new sizes: 400/70R20 and 480/80R26, suitable for a broad spectrum of vehicles. It can be fitted to industrial, agricultural, or handling equipment such as mini loaders, forklifts and agricultural tractors up to 200 HP.

Boasting versatility for use on roads, grass and snow, the Crossgrip range is part of the Michelin compact tire category. Its tread has deep grooves and a new rubber compound which enables performance, regardless of the weather conditions and ensuring the comfort and safety of operators.

The tire guarantees grip on slippery surfaces while providing protection. Hence it increases productivity. The radial structure gives this tire maximum maneuverability on hard surfaces and at high speeds.

The Crossgrip optimizes the machines’ energy efficiency, regardless of whether these are powered by combustion engines or electric, thanks to low rolling resistance. This reduces fuel consumption, as well as an increase in electric vehicle range.
