Michelin Axiobib 2

VF Ultraflex casing. Michelin Ultraflex VF construction in the Axiobib 2 allows up to 40% more load at the same pressure, or the same load at up to 40% lower pressure than a standard radial, cutting ground pressure and soil shear. Running according to Michelin load/speed tables expands the footprint, reduces slip, and increases tractive efficiency, so you cover more hectares per litre while protecting soil structure and preserving long-term productivity.

Larger contact footprint. Compared with conventional radials of the same size, the Michelin Axiobib 2 develops a substantially larger and more uniform contact patch, spreading load across more lugs and lowering peak contact stresses. The broader footprint improves torque transfer at low slip, reduces rut depth, and limits smearing on wet ground, while also reducing localised lug base stress to slow irregular wear—delivering dependable pull and longer tyre life on New Zealand paddocks.

Self-cleaning lug design. An open, deep lug pattern with optimised inter-lug voids and tapered shoulders promotes rapid mud ejection at low rolling speeds, so the Michelin Axiobib 2 maintains sharp leading edges in sticky soils and heavy pasture. Efficient self-cleaning preserves traction and directional control on headlands and slopes, reduces slip-induced heat build-up in the tread, and stabilises fuel burn during prolonged field work.

Reinforced bead and carcass. High-turn-up casing plies, robust bead bundles and reinforced chafers give the Michelin Axiobib 2 exceptional rim retention and fatigue resistance when operating at very low field pressures and with central tyre inflation systems. The durable carcass manages cyclic deflection without cord fretting, controls heat at transport speeds, and keeps the footprint stable under heavy draft, helping to safeguard the casing for multiple seasons of service.

Enhanced road stability. A balanced crown stiffness and variable-angle lug geometry deliver smooth, low-vibration running on sealed and gravel roads, improving steering precision and braking stability when towing or carrying heavy implements. Reduced tread squirm lowers rolling losses and heat generation, while even pressure distribution across the contact patch mitigates heel-and-toe wear, so the Michelin Axiobib 2 remains quiet, predictable and efficient between paddocks.
