Michelin North America has introduced a Hard Surface Traction (HST) version of its award-winning Michelin 12N16.5 X Tweel SSL.
The tire is designed for skid steer operators who work on hard or highly abrasive surfaces, such as asphalt and paving. The Tweel SSL HST requires no air, eliminating downtime, Michelin said. Additionally the tire offers advantages of easy mounting, damage resistance, exceptional operator comfort, reduced operator fatigue, improved productivity and longer wear life than standard pneumatic tires, the tiremaker adds.
“The development of this product was in direct response to customer demand,” said Justin L. Brock, Michelin agriculture’s compact line business manager in North America. “Our customers are looking for a long-wearing, hard-surface solution that also provides traction in off-the-pavement applications when needed”.
Available in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the Michelin 12N16.5 X TWEEL SSL HST is constructed with a 48/32nd tread depth containing a high scrub compound for maximum tread life.
