  "A key performance characteristic of any agricultural tire is its ability to flex under load to maximize the size of the contact patch on the ground, thereby minimizing soil rutting and compaction," says Michael Burroughes, director of marketing, agricultural tires, Michelin North America, Inc.."Increasing the area of the contact patch proportionally decreases the pressure applied to the soil, reducing compaction.
  
  "The Ultraflex Technology Michelin engineered into the Axiobib radial makes the deflection zone of the Axiobib tire substantially larger than that of a standard radial tire, which in itself offers a much greater deflection zone than a bias-ply tire," Burroughes adds.
  ...
  "An entirely new industrial process was required to incorporate this technology it into our tires," Burroughes says.

  You may want to track repair costs, adjustment credits from tire makers and retreaders, scrap disposal - "anything associated with the costs and use of the tire through its life," says Michael Burroughes, product manager for Michelin.
  ...
  "One of the greatest successes they have had is going into fleets on a consultative basis and engaging in a [tire] cost-reduction program," Burroughes says.Such a program includes analyzing a fleet's ongoing tire practices and not only recommending best practices, but also ways to make sure these recommendations are being followed."If the recommendations are followed, the payback is very tangible and very measurable," he says.

  "In our most conservative estimates, in converting the drive and trailer positions to wide based tires, customers will experience a minimum of a 4% improvement in fuel economy," says Michael Burroughes, product manager for Michelin.
  ...
  Burroughes says for owner-operators, the financial benefits will vary according to the operation.
  
  "If an owner-operator is working for a fleet that's running a maximum gross vehicle load, it will be hard for him to harvest more revenue because of the weight savings.But he would certainly have the benefit of at least a 4% reduction in the cost of fuel each year - and in a year and a half will pay for the cost of conversion," he says.

"Many of these manufacturers copy existing tread designs, so from outward appearances ...To make his point, Burroughes notes, "These imports have been around for decades and we continue to flourish as a premium tire manufacturer ...Whatever the quality, these tires are likely to be available here for the foreseeable future.Fisher notes that U.S. tire makers have been unable to meet the demand in recent years, because of the large number of new truck orders.When U.S. tire makers didn't invest enough in new tire plants to meet that demand, she says, "they basically opened the door for the Chinese to come in, and you can't close that door."

  "The new Michelin XZU S tires have more than doubled bead durability compared to traditional tires and deliver increased sidewall protection through increased rubber thickness and a new optimized sidewall profile," said Burroughes.Michelin Retread Technologies (MRT) will introduce a Pre-Mold retread product for the XZU S tire in the third quarter of 2004 in both all position (XZU S) and lug (XDU S) designs.The new MRT retread products will supply increased removal miles compared to competitors' retreads and reduced fuel consumption because of lower rolling resistance. Burroughes said the X One XZU S tire would be available no later than the first quarter of 2005.
