Michelin now guarantees its heavy duty tyres
Michelin is now giving some peace of mind to companies running fleets of heavy tipper trucks operating on construction or quarry sites.

The firm says that given the risk of tyre problems when working in such tough applications, it is now offering a new damage guarantee. This applies to the 720 MICHELIN X WORKS tyre range, for tyres equipping new vehicles or those purchased as a replacement.

The Michelin Damage Guarantee is free of charge and is said to allow customers the chance to safeguard their tyre investment. In the event of an incident to a MICHELIN X WORKS tyre, a refund in the form of credit will be issued by the dealer. It is said to be simple to register and to activate online through the MyAccount page, which can be accessed from the Website: %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal trucks.michelin.eu.

As these trucks operate on dirt tracks and in quarries, fleet owners are now able to equip their trucks with tyres that are robust on harsh terrain and durable on asphalt. The firm says that its latest MICHELIN X WORKS tyres meet the need for robustness and durability, as well as safety.
