Michelin X Line Energy T Truck Radial Tire from Japan
This radial pneumatic tire is designed for on-the-highway use on trucks, featuring a reinforced sidewall and tread pattern optimized for long-haul fuel efficiency. It falls under HTS 4011.20.10.15 as a new rubber tire specifically for trucks, radial construction, and highway application, excluding agricultural or off-road variants. The 'other' subheading applies since it doesn't match more specific size or brand exclusions.
