MICHELIN® AIR X®RADIAL TIRE

Product catalog summary

Overview: The MICHELIN® AIR X® radial tire offers significant advantages over traditional bias tires, including fuel savings, increased landings per tread, and improved cut resistance. These benefits are achieved through advanced radial technology and innovative design features.

Key Features:

Lightweight Radial Design: The tires are 20-30% lighter than bias tires, leading to fuel savings and reduced carcass fatigue.
Extra Strong Carcass: The design restricts tire growth, enhancing cut resistance.
Optimized Tread: Features a durable, cut-resistant tread with deep skid depth and circumferential grooves for extended tire life and reduced maintenance costs.
Customized Rubber Compounds: The sidewall is optimized for ozone and UV protection, reducing cracking and extending tire life.
Flexible Casing: Provides smooth operation during taxiing, landing, and takeoff.

Benefits:

Fuel Savings: The lightweight design contributes to measurable fuel savings and increased range.
Labor Savings: Fewer tire changes are needed due to more landings per tread.
Weather Protection: Special compounds offer long-term protection against ozone and UV light.
Resistance to Foreign Object Damage (FOD): Enhanced by ultra-strong NZG technology.

Contact Information: Michelin Aircraft Tyre has sales offices in Europe, CIS, Middle East & Africa, North, Central & South America, and Asia and Oceania, with specific contact details provided for each region.
