Michelin Aviator Aircraft Tires
Exclusive Air Cushion Inner Liner
- This protective cushion is placed over the casing plies to guard against inner tube chafing, promoting longer tube life and lowering maintenance costs.
“Posi-Fit” Bead Construction
- A firm (tight) fit minimizes movement between the tire and wheel, improving lateral stability and reducing the risk of tube chafing.
Customized Michelin Aviator Rubber Compounds
- These specialized rubber compounds help achieve long tire life and low cost-per-landing. The sidewall is optimized for ultraviolet light protection, while the MX1000 tread compound ensures excellent exterior wear and crack resistance throughout the tire’s lifespan.
Mass Optimized Casing Design
- Advanced production techniques improve our ability to balance stresses within the tire structure, resulting in an efficient, lightweight product with excellent balance characteristics.
Advanced Nylon Casing
- Strong yet lightweight nylon cords are designed to exceed strict industry standards for overpressure strength and reduce heat buildup for prolonged life and even wear.
Functional Sidewall Design
- The distinctive and functional sidewall configuration helps prevent premature aging by minimizing potential sites for ozone initiation.
Streamlined Profile
- The contoured shoulder absorbs lateral impacts associated with landing, allowing the tire to achieve its full lifespan, even under adverse conditions.
