Michelin has developed a new socially responsible technology for Truck tires named Antisplash (U.S. Patent No. 6,460,584 B1) and is introducing it to the North American market on the 275/80R22.5 XZA2 Antisplash long haul steer tire. The primary advantage of this development is the significant reduction in the splash height/trajectory of water projected by a steer tire when the vehicle passes through accumulations on the highway/road surface. Tire development and validation testing were completed by Michelin Americas Research and Development Corporation. The tire has a unique shoulder/sidewall profile (chine) which acts as a splash deflector. The fluid is redirected to a lower height with a modified volume to height relationship. Intended benefits include improved visibility realized by oncoming and passing vehicles and the improved visibility experienced by the driver when using side mirrors.
