Tires Built for Demanding Airport Ground Operations


Airport tractors operate continuously in demanding conditions, from intense heat and freezing temperatures to wet or slippery surfaces. Whether transporting baggage or moving aircraft, these vehicles depend on tires that can withstand high wear while providing reliable traction and grip.

Tire performance also plays an important role in helping prevent skidding, maintaining control of heavy loads and supporting smooth ground operations.

Michelin offers radial tire solutions for airport tractor applications, including the Michelin XZM tire, Michelin XZR tire and Michelin X TERMINAL T tire, designed to support the durability and performance these operations demand.

Michelin Tires for Aircraft Tow Tractors


Aircraft tow tractors are used to push, pull and reposition aircraft during ground operations, including movement to and from gates and across the tarmac.

Because tow tractors handle heavy loads and operate frequently throughout airport environments, they require tires designed to support traction, durability and reliable performance during demanding ground operations.

Michelin Tires for Towbarless Aircraft Tractors


Towbarless aircraft tractors lift and secure an aircraft’s nose landing gear directly onto the vehicle, eliminating the need for a traditional towbar.

Because towbarless tractors handle heavy aircraft loads and require precise maneuvering during airport ground operations, they require tires designed to support traction, durability and reliable performance in demanding airport environments.

Michelin Tires for Airport Baggage Tractors
