Scottish Haulier Opts for Michelin XDN2 Grip
Lanarkshire-based long distance haulier R Taylor & Sons (Transport) Ltd has fitted Michelin XDN2 Grip tyres onto the drive axle of a 6×2 Volvo FH tractor unit in its fleet. According to a company statement, the fitment has resulted in improved grip.
“The driver finds the Michelin XDN2 Grip tyres to be really beneficial,” says Stuart Coke, Director of R Taylor & Sons. “The entrance to our depot is on a slope, and in the wet weather, the drive axle tyres can spin when pulling away. With the XDN2 Grip tyres fitted, this problem seems to have been eradicated.
“Based on the performance of the tyres over the first 50,000 km, we’ve decided to specify our next two Volvo tractor units with the same Michelin tyres as original equipment,” adds Mr Coke.
