Which tyre to choose for coach transport?

By investing in quality tyres, you are demonstrating a commitment to passenger safety, minimising potential risks and ensuring a safer travel experience. 

Comfort

Comfort is also an important issue for coach passengers, particularly acoustic comfort. When tyre noise is added to engine noise and vibration, it can create an unpleasant experience for the traveller.

This can be optimised with quality coach tyres to ensure pleasant travelling conditions.

At Michelin, we are aware of this challenge and therefore develop coach tyres that reduce interior noise while driving. And not just interior noise! We also ensure that external levels of noise are kept to a minimum to relieve local residents in urban areas of some of the road noise to which they are exposed.

Tyre labelling includes a noise performance level, the result of certified tests that guarantee reduced noise emissions. It's a simple way of identifying the tyre's acoustic qualities before you buy.

With its low rolling resistance, the MICHELIN X^® Coach Energy™ Z2 will also help to reduce the CO2 emissions of the coaches equipped with it: a considerable advantage in responding to calls for tenders where requirements for environmentally-friendly solutions are becoming increasingly important.

Although this tyre may have a slightly shorter lifespan due to its reduced tread height, it offers a good balance between durability and environmental impact.

Finally, the choice to invest in quality coach tyres shows drivers that the coach operator cares about their safety, comfort and efficiency at work. This can strengthen their loyalty to the company, encouraging them to stay longer and make a positive contribution to the coach operator's reputation.
