COMPARISON BETWEEN BIAS AND RADIAL TYRES Bias or cross ply construction The crown and sidewalls are formed by the same ply structure. The casing is made up of several criss-crossed plies. The tread is affected by flexing of the sidewalls, resulting in: • deformation of the tyre contact area on the ground • movement in the tread contact area. The casing plies tend to “scissor” in relation to each other Disadvantages: • accelerated wear • less grip • increased fuel consumption The MICHELIN® X® radial The sidewall and tread function separately. The tread is unaffected by the flexing of the...

CLASSIFICATION OF MICHELIN TYRES According to their aspect ratio The wide diversity of earthmover machines and their uses requires the development of numerous ranges of tyres. Earthmover tyres differ from those mounted on cars or commercial vehicles by: • Their size and weight • Their tread depths are proportionally greater • More reinforcements to deal with the harsher conditions of use There are several families of earthmover tyres, characterized by their aspect ratio H/S (ratio in % between the height of the sidewall H and the section width of the tyre S). H= standard section height - S=...

DIFFERENT EARTHMOVER MICHELIN TYRES TREAD According to their tread depths The tread depth ‘SUPER, D1, D2’ is sometimes indicated on the sidewall tyre. SUPER (SUPER E3, SUPER L3) Regular tread Michelin designation: SUPER (N < SUPER < D1) (E2 - E3 - L2 - L3 G2 - G3) Traction / Regular tread Michelin designation: N (Normal) (E4 - L4 - G4) Deep tread Aggressive ground Michelin designation: D1 = N x 1,5 (L5) Extra deep tread Abrasive and aggressive ground Michelin designation: D2 = N x 2,5 Different Michelin earthmover tyre compounds Type A4: Particularly resistant to cuts, tread tearing and...

PRODUCT LIFE Tyres are made from different types of materials and rubber-based components, whose properties are essential to the proper running of the tyre itself. These properties evolve over time. For each tyre, this evolution depends on many factors, such as climate, storage conditions (temperature, humidity, position, etc.), conditions of use (load, speed, inflation pressure, road damage, etc.) to which the tyre is subjected during its working life. These ageing factors vary so much that it is impossible to predict the life of a tyre with any accuracy. This is why, in addition to regular...
