As part of a strategic partnership, Continental has developed a highly efficient tire for Renault Group‘s innovation teams with up to 35% lower rolling resistance than required for the EU tire label’s top A rating. For a vehicle with a battery range of 500km, this translates to approximately an additional 30km of range per charge – roughly the distance from Paris to Versailles.

The starting point for the tire was Continental’s EcoContact 7, which was then adapted to Renault Group’s requirements. The tire maker combined a specially modified tread compound with a customized sidewall design and an optimized tire construction.

Launched in 2025, the Michelin X Line Grip D commercial truck drive tire delivers strong traction, long mileage and improved efficiency. Responding to market demand, the tire maker has now expanded the range with a new X Line Grip D pre-mold retread and additional sizes for long-haul and regional applications across North America.

“The expansion of the Michelin X Line Grip D lineup reflects our commitment to delivering unmatched performance across every mile of the tire’s life,” said Yahn Heurlin, vice president of B2B marketing for Michelin North America. “Fleets have validated the performance of the Michelin Line Grip D tire in real-world conditions, and now we are expanding that same trusted performance through an additional size offering and a retread solution engineered to deliver the same performance as the new tire.”

At the heart of the X Line Grip D tire is the Michelin Duracore casing, which has been engineered for maximum durability and retreadability and designed to deliver up to a million miles with up to four retreads, the tire maker said, adding that the casing can help fleets achieve extended tire life while reducing total cost of ownership.

Pirelli has expanded its gravel tire range with the launch of the new Cinturato Gravel RH and Cinturato Gravel RM, manufactured at the company’s Milan-Bollate facility using FSC-certified natural rubber.

The R denotes their race-oriented focus, while H (Hard) and M (Mixed) indicate the terrain conditions each model is optimized for, in line with the nomenclature already established across Pirelli’s off-road range.

The Cinturato Gravel RH and RM continue the evolution of Pirelli’s gravel range, combining performance, control and reliability through expertise gained in motorsport and cross-country mountain biking. Both models form part of Pirelli’s premium High-Performance Line (HP-Line), which is designed and manufactured in Italy.

Goodyear is to supply advanced lunar tires for the NASA Artemis program’s Lunar Outpost Pegasus Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV), which is expected to support astronaut missions on the moon beginning in 2028.

Designed for operations at the lunar South Pole, Pegasus will enable astronauts to travel farther, operate longer and unlock new scientific exploration capabilities in one of the harshest environments known. Goodyear’s lunar tires are built to meet this challenge – engineered to withstand extreme temperature swings, rocky surfaces and low-gravity conditions while helping astronauts move safely and confidently across the lunar surface. Drawing on advanced science and decades of experience, these tires build on Goodyear’s work in extreme environments on Earth and in space.

Bridgestone has launched an underground mining tire range that it says has been designed to “thrive in some of the harshest working conditions on earth.”

The company’s latest VMNT, VMDL and VMMS tire products have been engineered specifically for underground mining applications, and have been designed to reduce penetrations by enveloping rocks rather than allow them to cut into the rubber, while still maintaining grip and operator comfort. The result is enhanced protection against damage in environments where standing water and moisture can make already abrasive surfaces even more destructive.

All three tires feature the first application of Bridgestone’s Subterranean technology for underground trucks, enabling operators to carry heavier loads without increasing inflation pressure, while also reducing the risk of cuts, penetrations and costly downtime.

American tire brand General Tire has launched an all-season SUV and 4×4 tire that combines safe summer and winter driving with off-road capability.

The Grabber Cross A/S is designed to offer good handling on asphalt, protection against aquaplaning, safe driving in warm and cold seasons, high mileage and good traction off-road.

High traction and comfort on all surfaces

For dry-road use, the tire design includes support elements between tread blocks to increase stiffness and improve stability. This helps ensure even pressure distribution, supporting precise steering and safe high-speed driving without compromising mileage. The design also contributes to driving comfort, low rolling noise, and long tread life.
