MICHELIN AIRCRAFT TYRE PLAYGROUND
A COMPETITIVE PRODUCT OFFER Original tire technology Still very much in use and reliable Heavier than radial counterpart but relevant to some specific aircraft applications Bias Radial Invented by Michelin in 1946 First applied to aircraft in 1981 Standard today on most new aircraft developments Michelin’s unique NZG technology is based on radial Radial NZG NZG is a mature technology NZG is a validated and proven technology NZG design is Michelin’s standard proposal for new development on new commercial, regional and business jet aircraft
A COMPETITIVE PRODUCT OFFER MICHELIN® AIR X® - Legendary Radial Performance From Michelin®. MICHELIN® Air X® radial tires are currently mounted on a wide range of commercial, military and corporate aircraft. It’s really no surprise, given the numerous advantages they offer over conventional bias-ply tires. In reality, they have elevated the basic performance expectations for aircraft tires, the same way MICHELIN® radials raised the standards for automobile tires. MICHELIN® AIR® - The tire for demanding pilots. The new MICHELIN® Air® general aviation tire is the best we know how to make. It offers a number of exclusive features designed to improve performance and extend tire life, starting with two new specialized rubber compounds. The sidewall compound is optimized to provide maximum ozone and ultraviolet light protection, while the MX2000 tread compound is Michelin's toughest. In addition, the new Air Cushion Inner Liner provides a protective cushion over the casing plies which guards against inner tube chafing. And the "Posi-Fit" bead construction reduces movement between the tire and the wheel for improved lateral stability.
