Farm Tractor Pulling Agricultural Trailer
The right farm trailer tires need to carry heavy loads, perform reliably in the field and on the road, and help protect your soil. Learn what to look for when choosing agricultural trailer tires and which tire features matter most for your operation.
Your agricultural trailer tires need to handle heavy loads while helping protect the soil. Because trailers regularly move between the field and the road, the tires also need to perform reliably across changing operating conditions.
Key considerations include:
Tractor trail tires that can support heavy loads, but not cause soil compaction
Michelin developed the Michelin TRAILXBIB tire to address these agricultural trailer requirements. Below, we’ll look more closely at how its design supports load capacity, soil protection and field-to-road performance.
Michelin TRAILXBIB is designed for agricultural trailers that operate across both field and road conditions. Its design combines Michelin UltraFlex Technology, load capacity, durability, self-cleaning capability and CTIS compatibility to address the demands of agricultural trailer use.
Michelin TRAILXBIB features Michelin UltraFlex VF Technology, allowing the tire to operate at low pressure in the field. The resulting larger footprint helps distribute the load over a greater surface area, supporting traction while helping reduce soil compaction.
The tire's VF (Very High Flexion) casing is designed to provide resistance to damage when operating at low pressure. This added durability helps reduce the risk of punctures and interruptions during field work.
Metal crown plies reinforce the Michelin TRAILXBIB tire and provide the load-carrying capacity needed for heavily loaded agricultural trailers.
Michelin TRAILXBIB uses a curved lug tread pattern with wide, divergent inter-lug spaces designed to help evacuate soil as the tire rotates. This helps the tread clear accumulated soil when transitioning out of the field.
The tire's tread design, including its central rib, is designed to promote longevity and help reduce the frequency of tire replacement.

The Michelin TRAILXBIB tread design also helps limit rolling resistance, which can contribute to lower fuel consumption during operation.

Michelin TRAILXBIB is compatible with a Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS), allowing tire pressure to be adjusted for different field and road operating conditions.
With CTIS, operators can adjust trailer tire pressure from the cab rather than manually changing pressure when transitioning between operating conditions.*
Michelin TRAILXBIB is designed primarily for agricultural trailer applications. For other farm implements, Michelin offers tires designed for the specific demands of those applications.
For equipment such as seeders, tillage equipment, balers, straw trailers and plows, explore Michelin's tire options for trailers and implements to find the appropriate tire for your equipment and operating conditions.
