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® Aircraft Tires offer just the right balance of performance and durability required by demanding pilots. The sidewall compound is optimized to provide maximum ozone and ultraviolet light protection, while the MX2000 tread compound is Michelin’s toughest. In addition, the new Air Cushion Inner Liner provides a protective cushion over the casing plies which guards against inner tube chafing. And the “Posi-Fit” bead construction reduces movement between the tire and the wheel for improved lateral stability. Offered in NEW or USED (RETREAD) (*) Condition.

Michelin® AIR® Aircraft Tires are designed to provide:

- a very long tire life and lower maintenance costs due to fewer tire changes

- exceptional balance for smooth taxiing,even wear, and heat resistance

- maximum protection against sidewall cracking caused by ozone and UV light

- excellent lateral stability and impact absorption, even under rough landing conditions

Product Features:

Deep Tread Depth: Thick rubber in the tread area helps provide for a long tire life. Contributes to lower maintenance costs due to fewer tire changes.

Unique Bead Construction: Provides a firm (tight) fit to help reduce movement between the tire and wheel. Helps improve lateral stability for a long tire life, even under rough landing conditions

Optimized Casing Design: Proprietary Michelin production processes help balance stresses within the tire structure. Strong, yet lightweight nylon cords are designed to exceed strict industry standards for overpressure strength. Results in an effi cient, lightweight product with excellent balance properties for smooth taxiing, even wear, and resistance to heat buildup for a long tire life.

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 our maximum amount of exterior wear and crack resistance for a long tire life.

Contoured Shoulder Design: Helps absorb lateral impacts associated with landing. Designed to help the tire achieve a full life, even under adverse conditions.

(*) 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.

Aircraft wheels and 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. 

Aircraft brakes are arranged in multiple disk pairs, which are commonly referred to as brake Heat Sink. As aircraft brakes convert the kinetic energy of the moving airplane to heat energy, they are also referred to as Heat Packs made of steel or carbon fibres. Conventional metal (steel) brakes are gradually replaced by carbon brakes (particularly on larger, long-haul commercial airplanes) due to their higher efficiency in braking applications, lower weight and resulting less fuel consumption and lower CO2 emission by the engines. 

Commercial aircraft wheels and braking systems are produced by 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) and offered as OEM products/parts for an extensive list of commercial aircraft platforms.  For more information on different OEM products please refer to the Product Description section, the supplied documentation or contact us.

Carbon and steel heat packs are also offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. 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. Sourced from quality suppliers they are available in an extensive product range, consist cost effective alternatives equalling or exceeding standards of the respective OEM products and feature high quality, safety, improved design, significant cost savings and fast deliveries. For more information on AVIATIONEU NEW ERA PMA brake heat packs please consult our separate product presentation or contact us.

The brake assemblies and disc combinations by CLEVELAND WHEELS & BRAKES are designed and qualification tested to properly and safely decelerate the aircraft under various conditions. The brake assemblies consists of one or more pistons depending upon the aircraft requirements.
