The Michelin Agilis 3 summer tire is installed on light commercial vehicles. It is recommended by the manufacturer for use in urban conditions. It is beneficially distinguished by increased mileage, stability of coupling properties on a wet surface, and reliability in adverse operating conditions.
The tread of the tire is made of a compound that, in addition to silicon dioxide, known as "silica", contains special polymer compounds. They increase the tire's grip on a wet surface and its resistance to any mechanical damage, including abrasive wear, at the molecular level. Additionally, the special trapezoidal protrusions on the sidewalls provide high mileage. A solution widely used in tires for military equipment, it minimizes the risk of mechanical damage to one of the most vulnerable parts of the tread.
All three longitudinal drainage grooves in the central part of the tread pattern have an original U-shaped form in lateral projection. It further increases the resistance to aquaplaning, especially with significant tread wear. The drainage grooves have special rectangular protrusions on their side walls. They prevent stones and other foreign objects from getting stuck. This significantly increases the tire's service life, especially in adverse operating conditions.
Key features of Michelin Agilis 3
- the rubber compound with "silica" and special polymers increases the tire's grip on wet pavement, resistant to any mechanical damage;
- the U-shaped form of the drainage grooves improves resistance to aquaplaning, especially with significant tread wear;
- special protrusions on the side walls of the grooves prevent stones and other foreign objects from getting stuck in the tread.
