THE TIRE CASING

Casing-related innovations continually deliver greater tire durability and make a direct contribution to lowering your fuel consumption.

INFINICOIL technology

MICHELIN DURABILITY AS THE MILES TICK BY

A continuous steel wire – up to 400m – is wrapped around the tire circumference to make it more stable and durable throughout its service life. The tire’s enhanced durability at a higher load index or in harsher usage conditions means you can drive with complete confidence.

POWERCOIL technology

MICHELIN DURABILITY WITH IMPROVED ROLLING RESISTANCE

A new generation of lighter yet more robust steel cables is used in the casing to deliver improved resistance to distortion and damage. POWERCOIL technology therefore reduces rolling resistance and fuel consumption for better durability.

A REINFORCED BEAD FOR GREATER ROBUSTNESS

We make high-quality products that last longer. To achieve this goal, this technology adds a new type of reinforced section between the tire and the wheel for greater robustness. Our premium nylon protects the bead structure and makes it more stable while driving.

MICHELIN® Ultraflex™ Technologies

PRODUCTIVITY GAINS AND SOIL PROTECTION

Michelin rose to this challenge in 2004 by inventing MICHELIN® Ultraflex™, a game-changing innovation that allows agricultural tires to operate at a lower pressure and therefore protect the soil, thus allowing for higher crop yields.

For improved soil health and better harvests, it is important to avoid or minimize soil compaction.

MICHELIN® Ultraflex™ technology solves both halves of this equation: less pressure = less compaction = more soil protection = higher yields.

A British study by Harper Adams University shows that utilizing tires with MICHELIN® Ultraflex™ technology can deliver crop yield gains of 4% or higher. As an illustration, when a farm produces a yield of 3 tons per acre and sells its wheat harvest for 225 dollars per ton, this is equivalent to a gain of 29 dollars a year, per acre.

MICHELIN® Ultraflex™ technology is already 10 years old but its future looks bright: MICHELIN® AXIOBIB 2 tires, also designated AIR SYSTEMS READY, are designed to work with a remote inflation system (CTIS) enabling users to monitor and adapt tire pressure to the terrain and usage conditions.

Right pressure at the right moment : Central Inflation System

On farms, it's essential to adopt lower pressure in your fields to reduce equipment footprint and soil compaction.

On the road, higher pressure is essential to guarantee good behavior, reducing your fuel consumption and tire wear.

Thanks to Central Tire Inflation System! Enjoy all these benefits from your driver's seat.

COPE WITH THE EXTREME CONDITIONS OF UNDERGROUND MINING

Resistance to harsh conditions is improved by: • 2 additional plies added to the tire structure which contain nylon cords cross-woven throughout the rubber for more resistance and robustness. • New cables in the working plies for enhanced resistance to impacts and better protection against oxidation.

THE TREAD

Cutting-edge technologies for our tire tread, with patterns that evolve and adapt as tires wear to boost service life and performance.

REGENION technology

MICHELIN GRIP, KILOMETER AFTER KILOMETER

Tread designs that self-regenerate, kilometer after kilometer, thanks to 3D metal printing techniques, giving you the grip you need over the service life of your tires and in all conditions. New sipes appear as your tires wear for improved mobility. In 2018, the two Michelin engineers behind REGENION technology won the European Inventor Award in the Industry category.

Cutting-edge technologies for our tire tread, with patterns that evolve and adapt as tires wear to boost service life and performance.

Advanced Compounding Technology

MICHELIN LONGEVITY, DAY AFTER DAY

A unique material created by an innovative process in which some tread components are blended when in a liquid state. The material this creates is more homogeneous, helping to get more kilometers out of the tire.

MICHELIN - Silicion technology - EN

Advanced Compounding Technology

MORE SILICA EQUALS LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION

By adding a high percentage of silica to the tread blend, Michelin has managed to push the limits of rolling resistance so that you can save fuel, without compromising on tire longevity.

TWEEL® airless technology

NO MAINTENANCE. NO COMPROMISE.

A MICHELIN® X® TWEEL® airless radial tire is a single unit that replaces the current tire and wheel assembly. There is no need for complex mounting equipment and once they are bolted on, there is no air pressure to maintain. The unique energy transfer within the poly-resin spokes helps reduce the “bounce” associated with pneumatic tires, while providing outstanding handling characteristics. They are designed to perform like pneumatic tires, without the inconvenience and downtime caused by flat tires. It therefore requires no pressure maintenance and cannot puncture. It is a technology that substantially reduces machine downtime. It also provides unparalleled convenience for the operators of farm and public works vehicles (construction or handling) equipped with airless tires.

RFID technology

An RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip is a smart electronic component that receives and transmits radio signals (wirelessly), so a product can be identified in a unique, standard way.

The identification of all MICHELIN® tires using reliable miniature RFID chips fitted in the tires means they can be tracked throughout their life cycle, from manufacturing to recycling. This patented technology is being marketed so that it becomes widespread in the tire industry.

As the only part of the vehicle in contact with the ground, a tire has the potential to supply unique, detailed data throughout its life. Using RFID technology, Michelin has chosen to make tires "speak" by connecting them to a broader ecosystem, with the aim of unlocking infinite innovation and value creation potential.

The Michelin Group will be accelerating the connectivity of its products in order to connect all MICHELIN® tires, including passenger car tires, by 2023. At this moment, 90% of MICHELIN® truck tires are already fitted with RFID chips in North America and Europe.
