A New Era of Productivity, Built on the Proven Legacy of the XHA2 tire

At ConExpo 2026, Michelin North America, Inc. proudly introduced the Michelin XHA3 tire, an earthmover product and the next evolution in loader and grader performance. Building on the trusted heritage of the Michelin XHA2 tire, the new XHA3 tire, raises the bar with increased load capacity, enhanced ton-per-hour (TKPH) performance, and a bold new tread design engineered for today’s more demanding machines comparing against the XHA2.

“With the Michelin XHA3 tire, we’re building on a heritage our customers trust while delivering the next level of performance they demand,” said Yahn Heurlin, VP of Marketing, Michelin North America. “Construction equipment continues to evolve with higher loads, longer duty cycles and greater productivity expectations. The XHA3 tire, is designed to help fleets unlock more ton-per-hour performance, carry heavier loads with confidence and extend tire life, all while reducing total cost of ownership.”

The XHA3 tire replaces previous tire lines including XHA2, XADN+, XAD65 and XLD, marking Michelin’s most significant innovation in this segment in more than a decade.

The Michelin XHA3 tire is purpose-built to meet the rising expectations of modern construction fleets and designed to deliver measurable productivity gains while protecting long-term asset value. By combining the proven DNA of the XHA2 tire with next-generation design and performance enhancements, Michelin is equipping customers with a tire ready to power the future of earthmoving.

With the introduction of the Michelin XHA3 tire, at ConExpo, Michelin reaffirms its commitment to innovation, reliability, and helping customers move more efficiently and profitably.
