THE TYRE CASING

A large number of casing-related innovations deliver greater tyre durability and make a direct contribution to keeping your fuel consumption under control.

OPTICOIL technology

MATERIAL EFFICIENCY FOR SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

A new bead architecture allows significant mass savings, limiting the consumption of raw materials and reducing the CO2 emissions, without any impact on the tyre performances and reliability. Doing so, Michelin improves the environmental footprint of its tyres’ operations.

The Opticoil Technology is generally combined with the Duracoil technology which makes the bead area more robust. Besides, this technology leads to a better heat control in the bead area.

INFINICOIL technology

MICHELIN DURABILITY AS THE MILES TICK BY

Introduction of continuous steel belt, the length of which is up to 400m, wrapped around the tyre to provide it with greater stability throughout its lifetime.

This technology, associated with others, allows a lead in performance in,

endurance, wear pattern and retreadability.

POWERCOIL technology

MICHELIN ENDURANCE WITH IMPROVED ROLLING RESISTANCE

A new generation of robust steel casing cables which help to make each tyre lighter, leading to better endurance and reduced rolling resistance.

DURACOIL technology

A REINFORCED BEAD FOR GREATER ROBUSTNESS:

We manufacture high quality products that last longer. Duracoil helps the casing to last longer by improving the tyre/wheel interface. Whilst in service, high quality nylon protects the bead area and provides improved stability for the bead toe. With this reinforcement, casing endurance and retreadability is improved.

Tyres with Michelin Ultraflex technology

Michelin Ultraflex Technology

MICHELIN UltraFlex Technologies

PRODUCTIVITY GAINS AND SOIL PROTECTION

Michelin rose to this dual challenge in 2004 by inventing MICHELIN UltraFlex, a disruptive innovation that allows agricultural tyres to operate at low pressures and therefore protect the soil, thus allowing your yields to improve.

For better harvests and to increase soil fertility, it is important not to compact the soil.

MICHELIN UltraFlex technology solves both halves of this equation: less pressure = less compaction = more soil protection = higher yields.

A British study by Harper Adams University shows that MICHELIN UltraFlex technology can enable agricultural yield gains of 4%. As an illustration, when a farm produces a yield of 8 tonnes per hectare and sells its wheat harvest for 200 euros per tonne, this is equivalent to a gain of 64 euros a year, per hectare.

MICHELIN UltraFlex technology is 10 years old already but its future looks bright: MICHELIN AXIOBIB 2 tyres, also labelled AIR +/- SYSTEMS READY, can be equipped with a remote inflation system enabling users to monitor and adapt tyre pressure to the terrain and usage conditions.

Why running low pressure tyres increases yield?

Right pressure at the right moment : Central Inflation System

On farms, it's essential to adopt lower pressure in your fields to reduce equipment footprint and soil compaction.

On the road, higher pressure is essential to guarantee good behaviour, reducing your fuel consumption and tyre wear.

Thanks to Central Tyre Inflation System! Enjoy all these benefits from your driver's seat.

B2 technology

DEAL WITH EXTREME CIVIL ENGINEERING CONDITIONS

To boost productivity in mines and quarries, but also in construction and handling operations, machines and tyres alike are regularly pushed to their limits. The exclusive B² technology from Michelin makes the bead area more robust and therefore increases the tyres' service life.

To boost productivity in mines and quarries, but also in construction and handling operations, machines and tyres alike are regularly pushed to their limits. The exclusive B² technology from Michelin makes the bead area more robust and therefore increases the tyres' service life.

The tyre/rim interface is really put to the test when high torque is applied or when carrying heavy loads. MICHELIN tyres featuring B² 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.

Dig more, carry more: B² ​technology delivers up to 20% more torque*, making machines more productive.

*Internal study compared with standard MICHELIN tyres. Specific values according to size.

TWEEL airless technology

NO MAINTENANCE. NO COMPROMISE.

MICHELIN X®TWEEL™ is a single, complete unit comprising an airless radial tyre and a wheel. The tread and the wheel are joined with flexible, high-strength polyurethane spokes. It therefore requires no pressure maintenance and cannot puncture. It is a technology that substantially reduces machine downtime. It also provides unparalleled convenience for the operators of farm and public works vehicles (construction or handling) equipped with airless tyres.

RFID technology

An RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip is a smart electronic component that receives and transmits radio signals (wirelessly), so a product can be identified in a unique, standard way.

The identification of all MICHELIN tyres using reliable miniature RFID chips fitted in the tyres means they can be tracked throughout their life cycle, from manufacturing to recycling. This patented technology is being marketed so that it becomes widespread in the tyre industry.

As the only part of the vehicle in contact with the ground, a tyre has the potential to supply unique, detailed data throughout its life. Using RFID technology, Michelin has chosen to make tyres "smart" by connecting them to a broader ecosystem, with the aim of unlocking infinite innovation and value creation potential.

The Michelin Group will be accelerating the connectivity of its products in order to connect all MICHELIN tyres, including passenger car tyres, by 2023. 90% of MICHELIN truck tyres are already fitted with RFID chips in North America and Europe.
