Michelin XPS Rib

The Bottom Line

The Michelin XPS Rib is best for long-distance haulers who value treadlife and dry handling. However, its wet grip performance is a key tradeoff, which may not suit those driving in rainy climates.

Important Note

Wet grip is subpar, making it less suitable for regions with frequent rain or wet conditions.

Pros

  • Treadlife is supported by a 60,000-mile warranty, which is a solid offer in the highway all-season truck category.

  • Dry grip score of 7.5 ensures stable performance in dry conditions, which is crucial for long-haul trips.
