MICHELIN® AIRSTOP® Series Aircraft Tire Inner Tubes SKU: MCHLN-TUBE-AIRSTOP

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® AIRSTOP® Aircraft Tire Inner Tubes provide long-lasting, dependable performance you can rely on in just about any operating condition. Made from exclusive Michelin butyl compound they offer  extended air retention and can sustain temperatures as low as -50°C.  In addition, they are formed without a circumferential splice, resulting in fewer joints and a more uniform tubewall thickness after inflation for optimized reliability at a minimal weight.  AIRSTOP tubes are manufactured to exacting balance tolerances (without correction), which meet or exceed all industry standards. This eliminates the need to further balance the wheel assembly in order to compensate for balance irregularities in the tube. Tube lubricant is factory applied to the tube exterior for easier installation and to help minimize foldover after installation and inflation. Comply with Aerospace Standard AS50141. Available in different sizes. Please also refer to the attached documentation.

Product Features:

Advanced Butyl Material

Exclusive Michelin® butyl compound offers excellent resistance to diffusion for extended air retention and dependable performance. Michelin® AIRSTOP® tubes help provide the same high quality seal found in Michelin® AIR X® radial tires.

Circular Extrusion Manufacturing Process

A Michelin® exclusive, Michelin® AIRSTOP® tubes are formed without a circumferential splice, resulting in fewer joints and a more uniform tubewall thickness after inflation. This helps provide optimized reliability at a minimal weight.

Built-In Balance

All Michelin® AIRSTOP® tubes are manufactured to exacting balance tolerances (without correction), which meet or exceed all industry standards. This eliminates the need to further balance the wheel assembly in order to compensate for balance irregularities in the tube.

Easy Installation

Tube lubricant is factory applied to the tube exterior for easier installation and to help minimize foldover after installation and inflation. In addition, molded vent ridges help channel trapped air back to the valve stem for easy release.

Low Temperature Performance

Michelin® AIRSTOP® tubes are designed to perform in the extreme low operating temperature of minus 50o C, so you can confidently fly in cold weather with consistent, reliable performance.

High Quality Complies with Aerospace Standard AS50141.

MICHELIN® Aircraft Tire & Inner Tube Product Range

MICHELIN® AIR® Bias Tires 

MICHELIN® AIR® bias 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

Their thick rubber in the tread area helps provide for a long tire life contributing to lower maintenance costs due to fewer tire changes.

Sidewall is optimized for both ozone and ultraviolet light protection which helps reduce ozone cracking in key areas of the tire. Also provides maximum amount of exterior wear and crack resistance for a long tire life.

Their 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.

Their contoured shoulder design helps absorb lateral impacts associated with landing. Designed to help the tire achieve a full life, even under adverse conditions.

Their optimized casing design resulting from proprietary MICHELIN® production processes helps balance stresses within the tire structure. Strong, yet lightweight nylon cords are designed to exceed strict industry standards for overpressure strength.  Results in an efficient, lightweight product with excellent balance properties for smooth taxiing, even wear, and resistance to heat buildup for a long tire life.

MICHELIN® AIR X® Radial Tires 

Compared to bias tires, the MICHELIN® AIR X® radials offer:

- measurable fuel savings,

- more landings per tread,

- improved cut resistance

Light Weight Radial Design

MICHELIN® AIR X® radials typically weight 20–30% less than comparable bias tires, and they operate at cooler temperatures. Helps provide 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.

Their extra strong carcass helps restrict tire growth and the stretching of rubber. Results in better cut resistance than bias tires.

Their optimized durable cut-resistant tread includes deep skid depth and specially-designed circumferential grooves. Helps provide for an extended tire life, less heat build up and lower maintenance costs due to fewer tire changes.

Customized rubber compounds in sidewall are used for optimization 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.

MICHELIN® PILOT® Bias Tires 

MICHELIN® PILOT® are high performance bias tires for piston and turboprop aircraft.

They provide extra long tire life with more landings due to highly-durable rubber compounds and up to 21% deeper skid depth than the leading competitor’s tires.

Their optimized tread profile helps provide for true track taxi, take offs, and landings.

Their tubeless design reduces overall wheel weight and helps eliminate tire creep on the wheel. MICHELIN® PILOT®  tires can be used with a tube on tube-type rims.

They offer all weather protection as they are designed for longterm ozone and UV light protection, and excellent hydroplane resistance.

MICHELIN® AVIATOR® Tires 

MICHELIN® AVIATOR® tires combine quality with competitive pricing.

They feature:

Exclusive Air Cushion Inner Liner over casing plies which guards against inner tube chafing for longer tube life and lower maintenance costs,

“Posi-Fit” bead construction ensuring firm (tight) fit which reduces movement between the tire and wheel for improved lateral stability and a reduction of potential tube chafing,

Customized MICHELIN® AIR® rubber compounds in tire exterior designed to provide longest tire life and lowest cost-per-landing. Sidewall is optimized for both ozone and ultraviolet light protection which reduces ozone cracking in key areas of the tire, and helps prevent premature aging. The MX2000 tread compound is Michelin’s toughest, providing our maximum amount of exterior wear and crack resistance,

Customized MICHELIN® AVIATOR® rubber compounds contributing to long tire life and a low cost-per-landing. The sidewall is optimized for ultraviolet light protection while the MX1000 tread compound provides excellent exterior wear and crack resistance throughout the life of the tire,

Mass optimized casing design. Advanced production techniques enhance our ability to balance stresses within the tire structure, for an efficient lightweight product with excellent balance properties,

Advanced nylon casing. Strong, yet lightweight nylon cords are designed to exceed strict industry standards for overpressure strength, and reduce heat buildup for long life and even wear,

Functional sidewall design which helps inhibit premature aging by reducing the number of potential sites for ozone initiation,

Streamlined profile. Contoured shoulder absorbs lateral impacts associated with landing, helping the tire achieve a full life, even under adverse conditions.

MICHELIN® CONDOR® Tires

MICHELIN® CONDOR® aircraft tires are ideal for private pilots and tough enough for a flight school environment but also widely available at an economical price. They offer offer quality, reliability, outstanding durability and value.

They feature:

Exceptional stability provided by strong side walls, even after frequent hard landings,

Economy but also excellent durability.

MICHELIN® AIRSTOP® Tire Inner Tubes

MICHELIN® AIRSTOP® aircraft inner tubes provide long-lasting, dependable performance maximizing airtime and minimizing downtime. Combined with MICHELIN® brand tires they provide wheel assemblies for optimal performance.

Made from exclusive MICHELIN® butyl rubber compound providing excellent air retention properties,

“Right Sized” Optimal Fit between the tube and the tire casing provides for ease of installation and excellent reliability,
