Michelin Agilis HD Z 225/70R19.5 128N

The Michelin AGILIS HD Z 225/70R19.5 128N is a heavy-duty commercial tyre built for hardworking vans and light trucks. Engineered for long tread life and even wear, it uses robust construction and tough compounds to handle high loads and stop-start deliveries. Confident wet-road grip supports safer braking, while a stable tread pattern helps precise handling and a comfortable ride on New Zealand roads. Designed to resist cuts and chipping, it reduces downtime and running costs—Michelin quality your business can count on. Get the Agilis HD Z fitted and keep your fleet moving.

Reinforced Curb-Guard Sidewalls. Built for urban stop–start work, the Michelin Agilis HD Z 225/70R19.5 128N features extra rubber and abrasion-resistant compounds in the lower shoulder to dissipate curb impact energy and shield the casing from scuffing and cuts. This reduces sidewall breach risk on kerbs and loading docks, protecting the carcass cords and bead area under high load. The result is fewer downtime events and longer service intervals in New Zealand’s tight urban routes and coarse-chip environments, lowering total cost per kilometre for vans and light trucks.

High-Tensile Casing Architecture. A robust, high-tensile steel-belted casing with reinforced bead apex stabilises the footprint under payload, braking and repeated cornering, minimising ply deformation and heat build-up. Lower hysteresis in the cord and skim rubber package improves durability of the crown and belt edges, helping the Agilis HD Z maintain structural integrity over long duty cycles. This translates into confident steering precision, better load-carrying performance and consistent wear across multi-axle fitments typical of commercial fleets.

Stone-Ejecting Tread Grooves. Strategically profiled groove bases with stone ejectors reduce stone retention and drilling on chipseal and depot yards, protecting belt wires from penetrations and corrosion. By keeping grooves clear, the Michelin Agilis HD Z 225/70R19.5 128N preserves water evacuation capacity and mitigates heat concentration around trapped stones, which can accelerate separations. Fleet operators benefit from fewer puncture-related callouts and more stable wet grip throughout the tyre’s life.

Silica-Optimised Wet Compound. A silica-enriched tread compound with advanced filler dispersion lowers the glass transition temperature of the rubber, maintaining micro-scale flexibility in cold and wet New Zealand conditions. This enhances real-world wet braking and lateral grip while reducing energy loss at the contact patch for improved rolling efficiency. The carbon black–silica balance is tuned for abrasion resistance, delivering high mileage without sacrificing safety on rain-polished surfaces.

Optimised Contact Patch Geometry. Michelin’s pressure-distribution design spreads load evenly across a wide, stable footprint with a solid centre section and supportive shoulders to resist heel-and-toe and shoulder step wear. Controlled contact stresses reduce rib scrubbing under heavy braking and frequent roundabout manoeuvres, keeping tread blocks upright and engaged. Expect longer, more uniform wear and predictable handling, helping fleets plan rotations and extract maximum kilometres from each Agilis HD Z.
