Michelin Agilis LT 8.25R16 128K

Fit your van, ute or light truck with the Michelin AGILIS LT 8.25R16 128K, the commercial tyre engineered for safety, durability and value. A robust casing and reinforced sidewalls handle heavy loads and frequent kerb contacts, while a hard-wearing compound and truck-inspired contact patch deliver outstanding mileage. Wide longitudinal grooves evacuate water for confident wet braking and control in New Zealand conditions. Designed to resist cuts and stone retention to reduce downtime, Agilis LT also offers low rolling resistance to help lower fuel costs.

Reinforced light-truck carcass. Built on twin high-tensile steel belts over a high turn-up polyester casing with a robust bead apex and nylon reinforcement, the Michelin Agilis LT 8.25R16 128K delivers superior load capacity, casing rigidity and heat management for vans and utes. This construction stabilises the footprint at higher LT inflation pressures, suppressing tread squirm and minimising irregular wear on New Zealand chipseal. Expect precise steering and longer service life that keeps vehicles earning with fewer tyre-related interruptions.

Robust sidewall protectors. Moulded kerb-shield ribs and a thicker gauge sidewall compound resist scuffing, gouging and curb abrasion that commonly takes light-truck tyres out of service. Reinforcement in the lower sidewall and shoulder area helps maintain casing integrity under repeated kerb contacts and heavy lateral loads, reducing the risk of sidewall breaches and maintaining pressure retention. It’s engineered durability that translates into fewer unplanned changes and maximum uptime for commercial routes.

Durable Contact Patch technology. Truck-derived contact patch control evens out contact pressure from centre to shoulder, reducing localised heat build-up and shoulder tearing during high load, stop-start operation. Stiff interlocking shoulder blocks with tie-bars maintain pattern rigidity under braking and cornering, mitigating heel-and-toe wear and extending tread life. The result is predictable, even wear and simpler rotation planning, supporting lower total cost of ownership for fleets running the Michelin Agilis LT 8.25R16 128K.

Silica-rich wet compound. A high-dispersion silica and functionalised polymer matrix lowers the compound’s glass transition temperature, widening the viscoelastic window for micro-texture interlock on wet roads while keeping rolling losses in check. Combined with full-depth sipes and wide circumferential drainage channels, the tread maintains high friction coefficients on cold, rain-soaked surfaces common in New Zealand, helping deliver confident wet braking and lateral grip without sacrificing cut-and-chip resistance on coarse seal.

Low rolling resistance design. An energy-efficient, low-hysteresis cap/base tread system, optimised belt angles and a continuous centre rib reduce deformation and heat generation at the contact patch, lowering rolling resistance for improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 per kilometre. A high-retention innerliner helps maintain target PSI, ensuring the tyre operates at its designed deflection for best efficiency and wear. This lets operators cut operating costs while preserving the hallmark safety and longevity of the Michelin Agilis LT 8.25R16 128K.
