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.
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 the new architecture in terms of:
- endurance,
- wear pattern,
- 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.
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 behavior, reducing your fuel consumption and tyre wear.
Thanks to Central Tire 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.

NRF technology
COPE WITH THE EXTREME CONDITIONS OF UNDERGROUND MINING
Resistance to harsh conditions is improved by:
• 2 additional plies added to the tyre structure which contain nylon cords cross-woven throughout the rubber for more resistance and robustness.
• New cables in the working plies for enhanced resistance to impacts and better protection against oxidation.

TREAD
Cutting-edge technologies for our tyre tread, with patterns that evolve and adapt as tyres wear to boost service life and performance.
REGENION technology
MICHELIN GRIP, MILE AFTER MILE
Self-regenerating tread blocks, supported by our mould 3D metal printing techniques, providing grip throughout the tyres lifetime. New grooves emerge over the tyres life for enhanced mobility.
In 2018, the two Michelin engineers behind REGENION technology won the European inventor award in the industry category.

MATERIALS
Cutting-edge technologies for our tyre tread, with patterns that evolve and adapt as tyres wear to boost service life and performance.
CARBION technology
MICHELIN LONGEVITY, DAY AFTER DAY
A material resulting from an innovative mixing process in which certain tread components are mixed when liquid creating a more uniform, material.
This material increases mileage performance of the tyre.
SILICION technology
MORE SILICA for REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION
By integrating a high percentage of silica into the tread rubber, Michelin has succeeded in pushing the limits of rolling resistance to save fuel, without compromising tyre longevity.

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.
