Selecting the Right Tyre
The first step in purchasing a tyre is to select the right tyre for your operation, whether you are specifying for new vehicles or for replacement. This ensures maximum performance and tyre life.
To make this simpler, Michelin has segmented its truck tyres into four distinct groups; A: Freeway; E National Highway; Y: On/Off-Road; and U: Urban. These letters were introduced into the tread pattern name so all Michelin tyres will show at a glance the type of operation for which they were designed.
