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
We have introduced a continuous steel belt—reaching lengths of up to 400 metres—wrapped around the entire tyre structure to provide unparalleled stability throughout its service life. When combined with our advanced architecture, this technology ensures industry-leading endurance, even wear patterns, and superior retreadability for Australian hauliers.
POWERCOIL technology
MICHELIN ENDURANCE WITH IMPROVED ROLLING RESISTANCE
This represents a new generation of high-tensile, robust steel casing cables that significantly reduce tyre weight. This reduction leads to improved thermal endurance and reduced rolling resistance, translating to better fuel economy on long-haul Australian routes.

DURACOIL technology
A REINFORCED BEAD FOR GREATER ROBUSTNESS:
We manufacture high-quality products built to go the distance. DURACOIL reinforces the tyre-to-wheel interface, utilising high-quality nylon to protect the bead area and provide exceptional stability for the bead toe. This reinforcement dramatically improves casing endurance and enables multiple retread lives, maximising your asset's value.
The right pressure, at the right moment: Central Inflation System
In Australian agribusiness, maintaining low pressure is vital in the field to minimise the equipment footprint and mitigate soil compaction. Conversely, higher pressure is essential for highway transit to ensure stable handling and reduce tyre wear. Thanks to our Central Tyre Inflation System (CTIS), operators can enjoy all these benefits instantly from the comfort of the driver’s seat.

B2 technology
DEAL WITH EXTREME CIVIL ENGINEERING CONDITIONS
In Australian mines, quarries, and construction sites, machinery and tyres are regularly pushed to their absolute limits. Michelin’s exclusive B² Technology reinforces the bead area, significantly extending service life under high-torque applications.
The tyre-to-rim interface is under immense stress during heavy hauls or high-torque manoeuvres. MICHELIN tyres featuring B² technology utilise a wide metal bead wire to increase the contact area with the rim. This enhances bead strength and eliminates rim slippage. Dig more and carry more—B² technology delivers up to 20% more torque*, making your heavy equipment more productive than ever.

NRF technology
COPE WITH THE EXTREME CONDITIONS OF UNDERGROUND MINING
Engineered for the harshest conditions, NRF technology improves resistance through:
-
Two additional plies added to the structure, featuring cross-woven nylon cords for maximum robustness.
-
New cables in the working plies designed for enhanced impact resistance and superior 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
Featuring self-regenerating tread blocks produced via advanced 3D metal printing, REGENION ensures consistent grip throughout the tyre's life. As the tyre wears, new grooves emerge to maintain traction and mobility. In recognition of this breakthrough, the Michelin engineers behind REGENION won the prestigious European Inventor Award.

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
This innovative material results from a unique mixing process where tread components are blended in a liquid state, creating a more uniform and resilient compound. This advanced material significantly increases the mileage performance and longevity of the tyre.
SILICION technology
MORE SILICA for REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION
By integrating a high percentage of silica into the tread rubber, Michelin has set new benchmarks for rolling resistance. This allows Australian operators to achieve substantial fuel savings without sacrificing tyre longevity or safety.
