Michelin Agilis 175/75 R16C 101/99R

Despite the presence in the assortment of the French manufacturer of a model with the same name with the "+" sign, the Michelin Agilis commercial tire is still a tire product with more than relevant operational properties. In fact, the only drawback of this model is the lack of a European marking of a new sample, which is available in a newer tire. In other respects, they are identical.

Maximum Contact Technology

A significant part of the high operational characteristics of this model is provided due to the Durable Contact Patch technology. It is a whole complex of solutions, the main goal of which is to ensure the maximum size of the contact patch with the road, regardless of the level of vehicle loading. Most of the innovations fell on the carcass design. It has been significantly strengthened due to the use of seamless technologies in cord winding, as well as the appearance of an additional breaker, also made of steel cord. All this together allowed to significantly increase the tire's resistance to the action of multidirectional centrifugal forces during movement. In addition to increasing the size of the contact patch, this led to an increase in the stability of its shape, a decrease in rolling resistance, and an increase in cargo capacity.

Wear-Resistant Rubber Compound

This model was one of the first to have a tread made of a Durable Security Compound rubber compound. It is distinguished by a very high resistance to abrasive and uneven wear, as well as excellent traction properties, which remain practically unchanged throughout the life of the tire. All these and many other advantages appeared in the rubber compound of this tire due to the latest polymers, which increased the strength of molecular bonds between all its components.
