COACH and BUS TYRES

Yes, regrooved tyres are allowed on a bus or coach. The MICHELIN X^® INCITY range can be regrooved, allowing a cost optimisation and a low carbon footprint. When regrooved, a tyre's service life is extended during the period when it consumes the least fuel.

Yes, retreaded tyres are allowed on buses with fitment only on drive axles and/or on tag axles. The fitment on front axles is not allowed.

MICHELIN X^® INCITY range can be retreaded and regrooved to give multiple lives to the tyres.

Bus tyres are significantly heavier than passenger car tyres. This is because they must have the capabilities for being used under much larger loading conditions and to have all the capacities of robustness and endurance required in urban usage conditions, for a multiple life approach.

The weight of a bus tyre can vary depending on the size and type of tyre.

The MICHELIN tyre X^® INCITY EV Z 152/149J weights 56,5Kg in its most popular dimension: 275/70R22.5

MICHELIN winter tyres for buses exist only as a retread offer for drive axles. However, the full range of MICHELIN X^® INCITY tyres ensures grip and is adapted whatever the weather, for all positions. They are all marked 3PMSF.
