Michelin® Introduces Radial Tire for High Horsepower Tractors

09/25/02

GREENVILLE, S.C. - In the field, soil protection is critical. Therefore, having the right tire on tractors in the field is crucial. Michelin has engineered a radial tire that delivers this vital soil protection with the Michelin MachXBib.

The huge footprint, rounded shoulders and ultra-low pressure of the MachXBib allow for less soil compaction and decreased rut depth, providing more protection and preservation of the crops and the field.

The MachXBib also provides exceptional traction through the flat crown and long, deep lugs. The low slip rate and rolling resistance achieved through this superior traction also help increase productivity and fuel savings.

The Michelin radial casing, the braced tread and large air chamber give this tire the ability to carry extremely heavy loads at a low pressure. While carrying these heavy loads, the tire still maintains an exceptionally smooth ride on the road at speeds of up to 30 mph, thanks to the swept-back lug design.

The tire's ultra-flexible, super-strong casing and low air pressure help to deliver exceptional comfort in the field or on the road.

The MachXBib comes in the following sizes: 600/65R28, 600/70R28, 710/55R30, 650/75R38, 650/85R38 and 900/50R42.
