  • 295: The width of the tire section in millimeters (mm).
  • 80: The aspect ratio, which is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width (80% in this case).
  • R: Indicates a radial tire construction.
  • 22.5: The rim diameter in inches.
• 154/150M: This is the load rating and speed rating of the tire. The load rating indicates the maximum weight that the tire can carry at a specific inflation pressure. In this case, 154/150 refers to the load capacity at different speeds:
  • 154: Up to 75 mph (120 km/h)
  • 150: Up to 65 mph (104 km/h) The speed rating M means the tire is designed for speeds up to 81 mph (130 km/h).
• TL: This means that the tire is tubeless. Tubeless tires do not have an inner tube and instead rely on an airtight seal between the tire and the rim to hold air.
• 3PMSF: This symbol indicates that the tire meets the European winter tire standards for snow and ice performance. This means that the tire has been tested and certified to provide improved traction on snow and ice compared to all-season tires that don’t have this symbol.

Features and Benefits (based on information found online):

• Improved mileage: The Michelin X Coach Z is designed for extended tread life, which can help to reduce operating costs for bus companies [1, 2].
• Good all-season traction with better winter performance: The 3PMSF marking on the tire signifies its ability to handle various weather conditions, including light winter snow and ice.
