MICHELIN® BIBSteel™ All-Terrain Built strong for your toughest everyday conditions You work hard. And you work your machines even harder. That’s why we’ve designed the MICHELIN® BibSteel™ All-Terrain to deliver what you need – less time thinking about your tires and more time improving your profitability. ReduceD Downtime and Cost All-steel construction with three steel plies under the tread gives excellent puncture resistance compared to standard bias, meaning less flats and more time on the job. It is how Michelin delivers similar protection to foam-filled tires without the rough ride, poor traction or machine damage. Reduce your overall cost with MICHELIN Steel Radial Innovation. Lasting Durability The MICHELIN BibSteel All-Terrain all-steel radial technology, reinforced sidewall and new Rim Guard provide excellent casing endurance in your toughest applications. Superior Tread Life and Traction The MICHELIN BibSteel All-Terrain tire utilizes superior rubber compound technology developed by years of experience in the truck and OTR markets. Combined with one of the deepest, self-cleaning tread designs available, you can count on superior traction and almost twice the tread life as standard bias. Trusted Performance By combining the radial performance advantages of all-steel construction found in MICHELIN Truck and Earthmover tires with the puncture resistance of the MICHELIN STABIL‘X®, MICHELIN BibSteel All-Terrain tires are able to deliver superior performance and longer tread life to skid steer loaders and similar compact equipment. Made in the USA Every MICHELIN BibSteel All-Terrain tire is produced in Michelin’s U.S. truck tire factory. Built to the same standards as our industry-leading truck tires, including the potential to retread.
