Michelin has developed a patented “2 in 1 tire” solution that adjusts pressure and usage, allowing farmers to operate more efficiently in the field or on the road.
This new technology recently earned the prestigious 2017 Innovation Gold Medal at SIMA, the Paris International Agri-Business Show for high-performance and sustainable agriculture.
Working at ultra-low pressures while in the field, the tire’s contact patch increases in size up to 20 percent (1) to reduce soil compaction. While working at higher pressures on the road, the tire transforms so that only the central continuous tread band grips the pavement, resulting in a smoother, vibration-free ride, fuel savings and improved safety. This is great news for farmer’s who want the extra operational comfort but are challenged to deliver sustainable crop yields at affordable prices.
