Costs 5-10% more and is expected to last 30% more. Too bad it increases rolling resistance so much, it's not economically worth it. Higher rolling resistance then even the XDN2 and even the XDAHT. according to: http://www.michelintruck.com/micheli...calculator.jsp

Annual Fuel Bill: $60,000.00
Michelin Advantage: 4.8% Annual Cost Savings: $2,906.23 Annual Savings per Tire: $207.59 Compared to XDA energies. $1000 more per year compared to XDN2's, the XDN2's aren't exactly a friendly tread.
