COMPARISON BETWEEN BIAS AND RADIAL TYRES

Advantages:• long tyre life• outstanding traction on all types of surface• lower fuel consumption due to lower rolling resistance• improved comfort• increased resistance to punctures / fl ats• increased resistance to heating• protect property and persons

The sidewall and tread function separately.

The tread is unaffected by the fl exing of the sidewalls, so there is:

• less deformation of the tyre contact area on the ground

• less movement in tread contact area• no movement between casing plies

The crown is stabilized by several plies.

The casing has only one radial ply.

Bias or cross ply construction

Disadvantages:• accelerated wear• less grip• increased fuel consumption

The crown and sidewalls are formed by the same p ly structure.The tread is affected by fl exing 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

The MICHELIN® X® radial

The casing is made up of several

criss-crossed plies. The crown is not stabilized.

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= standard section width

Other series of tyres are also available: 95 series, 75 series, etc.

100 series (standard)

The nominal section width is expressed in inches with to decimal places.Examples: 18.00 R 33Tyres for rigid trucks, handling equipment, etc…The aspect ratio is not indicated in the size designation.

The H/S ratio is approximately equal to 1.

H = 100 % S

80 series

The nominal section width is expressed in:Inches or fractions of an inchExamples: 8.25 R 15, 20.5 R 25orExamples: 59/80 R 63Tyres for rigid trucks, articulated dumpers, loaders, handling equipment, etc…The aspect ratio is not indicated in the size designation.

The H/S ratio is approximately equal to 0.80.

H = 80 % S

65 series

The nominal section width is expressed in inches or in millimeters, followed by the number 65.Examples: 35/65 R 33, 750/65 R 25Tyres for large loaders, articulated trucks, etc…

The H/S ratio is approximately equal to 0.65.

H = 65 % S

90 series

The nominal section width is expressed in inches followed by the number 90.Example: 50/90 R 57Tyres for rigid trucks

The H/S ratio is approximately equal to 0.90.

H = 90 % S

DIFFERENT EARTHMOVER MICHELIN TYRES TREAD

According to their tread depths

The tread depth ‘SUPER, D1, D2’ is sometimes indicated on the sidewall tyre.

Type B4: Compromise solution between abrasion resistance and average speed on rough surfaces. moderate TKPH (TMPH)

Type B: Higher resistance to internal heat generation on surfaces which are not particularly rough. average TKPH (TMPH)
