Michelin Abrasion-Resistant Tire Research Landscape
The global commercial tire replacements for heavy-duty fleets exceed $22B annually, with abrasion-resistant tread life a critical determinant of total cost of ownership. Innovations in stepped and variable-depth sipe geometry, dual-elastomer groove construction, and extended-life designs could reduce premature tire removal by 10–15%, translating to millions in operational savings per fleet. We mapped the full […]
