MICHELIN® AIR® X® Series...
MICHELIN® Aircraft Tyres is internationally recognized as the No.1 tire manufacturer in the world. The company provides bias tires, radial tires, and tubes for aviation customers around the world, in a range of applications including commercial and regional airlines, general aviation and military aviation.
MICHELIN® AIR® X® Aviation Radial Tires are currently mounted on a wide range of commercial, military and corporate aircraft. Given the numerous advantages they offer over conventional bias-ply tires, these tires have elevated the basic performance expectations for aircraft tires, the same way MICHELIN® radials raised the standards for automobile tires. Offered in NEW or USED (RETREAD) (*) Condition. Compared to bias tires, MICHELIN® AIR® X® radials offer:
Measurable Fuel Savings
More Landings Per Tread
Improved Cut Resistance
Key features of MICHELIN® AIR® X® radials include:
Light Weight Radial Design. They typically weigh 20–30% less than comparable bias tires, and they operate at cooler temperatures. This leads to measurable fuel savings, more landings per tread, longer wear characteristics and a more stable contact patch than bias tires, as well as shorter turnaround times and reduced carcass fatigue.
Extra Strong Carcass. Michelin’s carcass design helps restrict tire growth and the stretching of rubber resulting in better cut resistance than bias tires.
Optimized Tread. Durable cut-resistant tread includes deep skid depth and specially-designed circumferential grooves. This contributes to an extended tire life, less heat build up and lower maintenance costs due to fewer tire changes.
Customized Rubber Compounds. Sidewall is optimized for both ozone and ultraviolet light protection which helps reduce ozone cracking in key areas of the tire. Provides maximum amount of exterior wear and crack resistance for a long tire life.
Flexible Casing. The casings of MICHELIN® AIR® X® radials is more flexible than casings used in bias tires. This results in noticeably smooth operating characteristics during taxiing, landing and takeoffs.
Please refer to the supplied documentation and the Reference & Application Chart for additional information.
(*) Retread tires have undergone a remanufacturing process to replace the worn tread on used tires with new tread to help extend the life of the tire. The number of times the tread has been replaced in the tire casing is indicated by a number just after the letter "R" in the product reference number (SKU), namely R1, R2, R3 and so on.
