FEATURES
- **Customised Michelin Aviator Rubber Compounds:** Specialised rubber compounds contribute to long tyre life and a low cost-per-landing. The sidewall is optimised for ultraviolet light protection, while the MX1000 tread compound provides excellent wear and crack resistance throughout the tyre’s service life.
- **Mass Optimised Casing Design:** Advanced production techniques balance stresses within the tyre structure for an efficient, lightweight product with excellent balance characteristics.
- **Advanced Nylon Casing:** Strong yet lightweight nylon cords exceed industry standards for overpressure strength and reduce heat build-up for long life and even wear.
- **Functional Sidewall Design:** Distinctive sidewall configuration helps inhibit premature ageing by reducing the number of potential sites for ozone initiation.
- **Streamlined Profile:** Contoured shoulders absorb lateral impacts during landing, helping the tyre achieve full life even under demanding operating conditions.
- **Deep Grooves:** Designed to resist hydroplaning for safer taxiing and improved ground handling.
