Michelin technologies for Road Tires

‎

New generation of rubber compounds designed to improve rolling resistance.
‎

New generation of rubber compounds designed to improve rolling resistance.
‎

Bi-Compound: Invented by Michelin in 1995, this is a mix of two rubber compounds on the tread providing central rolling efficiency and lateral grip (e.g. MICHELIN^® Power Endurance which combines Grip Compound and X-Miles Compound).
‎

A rubber compound developed to provide more grip (Range : MICHELIN^® Power All Season).
‎

A rubber compound providing abrasion resistance associated to a thicker layer on the crown. Increases durability (Range: MICHELIN^® Power Endurance).
‎

A rubber compound with a low deformation rate, offering low rolling resistance. Derived from Moto GP technologies, this compound also provides excellent dry grip (Range: MICHELIN^® Power Competition).

CASINGS

A tire’s casing is made up of threads, the thickness of which varies according to the tire range, makes it robust, flexible, efficient and lightweight. The more threads there are, the finer they are, making the tire lighter. On the contrary, the less threads there are, the bigger they are, making the tire stronger.
TPI (Threads Per Inch) refers to the density of threads per inch.

ARAMID BEAD

Beads in aramid that combines strength and lightness for better security and an easier tire fitting.

REINFORCEMENTS

Reinforcements made to improve tire strength.

‎

Fitted with sealant, makes the tire Tubeless compatible at high pressure.
‎

Reinforcement in the tire casing to provide strength at the crown and minimize punctures. Aramid is stronger than traditional materials and is much more cut resistant and is the material used for manufacturing body armour.
‎

High density reinforcement in the tire casing to provide strength at the crown and minimize punctures. Aramid is stronger than traditional materials and is much more cut resistant and is the material used for manufacturing body armour.
‎

High-density cross-laid reinforcement protecting the whole tire casing. The crown and sidewalls are reinforced to provide maximum protection and durability (Range: MICHELIN^® Power Gravel^®, MICHELIN^® Pro 4, MICHELIN^® Krylion2).
