MICHELIN CURBGARD
Michelin Curbgard technology is a reinforced sidewall protection feature designed to help commercial van tires resist damage from repeated contact with curbs and other obstacles encountered during urban driving.
Featured on select Michelin Agilis tires, Curbgard uses raised, reinforced rubber protectors along the tire sidewall to provide additional protection against curb scrubbing and abrasion.
For commercial vans making frequent deliveries, navigating tight spaces or operating in stop-and-go urban environments, this additional protection can help reduce premature sidewall wear and support tire durability.
Reinforced rubber protectors help shield the tire sidewall against curb scrubbing and abrasion during everyday urban driving.
Additional protection against sidewall wear can help reduce premature tire damage in demanding commercial van applications.
By helping protect against curb-related sidewall damage, Curbgard technology can help reduce the risk of tire replacements associated with that damage.
Sidewall technologies are features designed to reinforce or protect the sides of a tire against certain types of damage. Michelin Curbgard technology uses raised rubber protectors to help shield commercial van tire sidewalls from curb scrubbing and abrasion during urban driving.
No. Michelin Curbgard technology is available on select Michelin commercial van tires, including certain models in the Michelin Agilis range. Check individual tire product specifications to confirm availability.
Reinforced sidewall protection helps reduce damage from repeated curb contact during deliveries, parking and other urban driving activities. By limiting curb-related abrasion and premature sidewall wear, technologies like Michelin Curbgard can help fleets reduce tire-related downtime.
No. Michelin Curbgard is designed to provide additional protection against curb scrubbing and abrasion, but it cannot prevent every type of sidewall damage. Tires should still be inspected regularly, and any suspected damage should be evaluated by a qualified tire professional.
