MATERIAL EFFICIENCY FOR SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

A new bead architecture allows significant mass savings, limiting the consumption of raw materials and reducing the CO2 emissions, without any impact on the tyre performances and reliability. Doing so, Michelin improves the environmental footprint of its tyres’ operations.

The Opticoil Technology is generally combined with the Duracoil technology which makes the bead area more robust. Besides, this technology leads to a better heat control in the bead area.
