Michelin Tread Technologies:
Engineered for Grip, Longevity & Efficiency

The exclusive B² technology from Michelin makes the bead area more robust and therefore designed to increase the service life of the tires in mines and quarries, but also in construction and handling operations. Tires with this 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.

TRACTION

With the Michelin diamond tread pattern, 44%¹ of the tread is always in contact with hard surfaces, while with a bar tread pattern, only 29%¹ of the tread is always in contact. This larger contact area provides exceptional traction, especially considering that two sections of lug are always in contact with the surface.

DURABILITY

With pressure evenly distributed across the tire surface, this design helps maintain stability on various terrains, resulting in enhanced robustness and wear resistance.

This technology refers to Michelin's innovative interlocking 3-dimensional matrix siping with zig-zag walls, which lock together when in contact with the road.

IMPROVED WET AND SNOW TRACTION

For improved wet and snow traction, sipes provide hundreds of biting edges. 

LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE
 

The interlocking sipes add strength and stability normally associated with solid tread blocks to improve wear for longer-lasting performance.

Michelin-patented Regenion technology, enabled by 3D metal printing techniques, provides solid grip over the tire’s lifetime, in all conditions. As the tire wears, new grooves emerge. The more compact and rigid tread pattern provides higher mileage, more consistent wear and lower fuel consumption.

Did you know? In 2018, the two Michelin engineers behind Regenion technology won the European Inventor Award in the industry category given by the European Patent Office (EPO). 

Stubble Shield solution: an anti-stubble strip, oriented lugs that deflect stubble and rubber components that prolong the life of your agriculture tires.

Did you know? Our MICHELIN tires with Stubble Shield technology are identified with a dedicated pictogram. 

DURABILITY

Tires with Stubble Shield technology provide extra protection against stubble damage and support tire lifespan. 

PRODUCTIVITY

Agricultural tires with high resistance to damage from residual stubble. Reduced downtime caused by punctures, allowing you to ride confidently on any terrain.
