-
Helps provide measurable fuel savings, more landings per tread, longer wear characteristics and a more stable contact patch than bias tires, as well as shorter turnaround times and reduced carcass fatigue.
Extra Strong Carcass
-
Michelin’s carcass design helps restrict tire growth and the stretching of rubber.
-
Results in better cut resistance than bias tires.
Optimized Tread
-
Durable cut-resistant tread includes deep skid depth and specially-designed circumferential grooves.
-
Helps provide for an extended tire life, less heat build up and lower maintenance costs due to fewer tire changes.
Customized Rubber Compounds
-
Sidewall is optimized for both ozone and ultraviolet light protection which helps reduce ozone cracking in key areas of the tire.
-
Provides our maximum amount of exterior wear and crack resistance for a long tire life.
Flexible Casing
-
The Michelin ® AIR X ® casing is more fl exible than casings used in bias tires.
-
Results in noticeably smooth operating characteristics during taxiing, landing and takeoffs.
