TWEEL 2

Michelin TWEEL, a non-pneumatic mobility concept, will increase productivity because it is maintenance-free, puncture-proof, easy to mount and dismount and provides a longer service life than radial tires. Michelin TWEEL offers an alternative response to the vital question of tire damage resistance in the earthmover industry. As it does not have a tire-like pressurized air cavity, it cannot be punctured, thus assuring continuous mobility. The simple, innovative hub and spoke design allows for easy replacement of Michelin TWEEL. Even better, Michelin TWEEL is meant to be easily retreadable. Taken together, these features mean that Michelin TWEEL is expected to deliver performance that exceeds that of inflated tires.
