Michelin B2 Technology: Robust bead area to boost service life

Michelin B² technology makes the bead area more robust and is therefore designed to increase the service life of earthmoving tyres.

What is Michelin B2 Technology?

The exclusive B² technology from Michelin makes the bead area more robust and is therefore designed to increase the service life of tyres in mines and quarries, but also in construction and handling operations. Tyres with this technology have a wide metal bead wire that increases the area in contact with the rim. The strength of the bead area is enhanced and there are fewer rotations on the rim.

What are the benefits for you?

  • Productivity

    The 30% wider bead bundle and contact area improves the clamping force to the wheel and pressure distribution, allowing up to 20% more torque* through the tyre/rim interface.

  • Longevity

    Strong robustness of the bead zone provides greater endurance in high torque, heavy load applications, helping to improve tyre life. A long-lasting tyre helps you reduce operating costs and limit waste and raw material usage.

  • Reliability

    The reinforced bead is designed to improve bead endurance, helping to increase total tyre life and uptime. The optimised bead design also improves the angle and contact points of the bead during the mounting process, facilitating confident installation.

Michelin tyres featuring B2 Technology

Michelin B² technology is mostly integrated in loader tyres.
