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.

Wheels, used in conjunction with tires, provide support for the tires and weight of the aircraft. Combined with brakes, they assist in directional and stopping control during aircraft ground maneuvers, taxi, takeoff, and landing. Brake assemblies and disc combinations are designed to properly and safely decelerate the aircraft under various conditions. Brake assemblies consist of one or more pistons depending upon the aircraft requirements.

Aircraft braking systems serve a vital function during takeoff, landing and taxiing. Along with landing gear, aircraft wheels and brakes are critical to ensure safe and reliable aircraft ground operations under extreme forces, stress, as well as wear and tear from general operation and the environment. Commercial aircraft brakes are arranged in multiple disk pairs commonly referred to as Heat Sinks or Heat Packs (as they convert the kinetic energy of the moving airplane to heat energy). Initially made metal (steel) heat sinks are gradually replaced by those from carbon fibres (particularly on larger, long-haul commercial airplanes) due to their higher efficiency in braking applications, longer life-span, lower weight and resulting less fuel consumption and lower CO2 emission by the engines. 

Carbon and steel heat packs and parts are offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sourced from quality suppliers these heat packs  feature high quality, safety, improved design, significant cost savings and fast deliveries. They can be used as  cost effective alternatives in many commercial aircraft platforms equalling or exceeding standards of  respective OEM products by leading manufacturers such as Honeywell Aerospace, Collins Aerospace/Goodrich Wheels & Brakes, Parker Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems and Safran Landing Systems (formerly Messier-Bugatti-Dowty). They are  PMA approved (*) parts by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for use on an extensive list of Western and Eastern commercial (civil ) aircraft platforms including Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas, Ilyushin and others and are currently installed in aircraft operating by different air transport operators in China and other countries in the Middle-East, South and Central Asia and Africa.

Typical Aircraft Applications for steel and carbon heat packs include Boeing 737 / 757, Airbus A318 / A319 / A320 / A330 , McDonnell Douglas: MD82 /MD90  Xian MA60 etc. 

(*)  Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) is a combined design and production approval granted by a competent Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to a manufacturer of aircraft parts for modification and replacement. Use of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) approved parts in other countries depends on existing bilateral agreements between CAAC and respective competent authorities in these countries.

AIRFRAMES ALASKA designs and manufactures ALASKAN BUSHWHEEL (ABI) wheels & brakes and tires made for flying and landing off-field in the most rugged backcountry conditions. ABI tires absorb the energy of rough landings, taking the brunt of the impact off the pilots, wheels, gear, and airframe. Unlike your standard aircraft tires, Bushwheels are tubeless. This distinctive design eliminates the problem of tire slippage and stem shearing and makes it possible to run these tires at very low PSI. Different models are offered to suit needs of aircraft operating conditions. ABI tires are FAA TSO C62d approved. Models are available in the following versions and fit standard 6" wheels unless otherwise mentioned:

Standard thread: 3/16"

Heavy thread: 1/4". Heavy tread 26" ABI tires are constructed with a thicker tread layer. Suitable for pilots operating their aircraft on pavement between backcountry flights.

The 26" ABI tires are designed and handcrafted for use on lighter aircraft such as Cessna 182 & Cessna 206. They're also the ideal "entry level" bush tires for pilots upgrading from standard tube type aviation tires for the first time.

A step up in terms of size, 29" ABI tires have a slighter profile and create less drag than larger Bushwheels. This places these bush tires in size/weight sweet spot for heavier aircraft like Cessna and Maule while still providing the footprint and energy absorption critical in bush landings. 

The 31" ABI tires are handcrafted featuring an impressive ratio of weight to size. Their solid footprint makes these bush tires the de facto standard for bush pilots.

The 35" ABI tires are designed for the most rugged off-airport operations. They require ABI 10650 10" wheels.

The 35" Beaver ABI tires stand up to the heavier load of de Havilland Beaver and Pilatus aircraft with a gross weight up to 5600 lbs (2800 static load rating per tire).
