Michelin Spraybib 380/90R50 175D

Boost your sprayer's performance with the Michelin SPRAYBIB 380/90R50 175D, the VF agricultural tyre engineered for high-clearance sprayers. Michelin Ultraflex technology lets you run lower pressures for a larger footprint, cutting soil compaction, improving traction and protecting yields. It carries heavy loads at road speeds for fast transfers, while its narrow profile keeps you on the row with stable, precise handling. A robust casing and wear-resistant tread deliver long life and fuel savings. Built for New Zealand farms - order the SprayBib now to maximise productivity.

Ultraflex VF casing. Michelin Ultraflex Very High Flexion (VF) casing technology on the Michelin Spraybib 380/90R50 175D allows you to carry up to 40% more load at the same inflation pressure, or maintain the same load at up to 40% lower pressure versus a standard radial tyre, which materially reduces ground pressure and soil compaction. The elongated, high-density contact patch spreads axle loads more evenly, reducing peak kPa stress in the root zone while maintaining a stable footprint under cyclic loading as tank levels change. The low-hysteresis sidewall construction limits heat build-up during long road transfers, improving durability, while the compliant casing preserves boom stability by dampening high-frequency vibrations without sacrificing steering precision.

Row-crop optimised profile. The Michelin Spraybib 380/90R50 175D’s tall, narrow section widths are engineered for inter-row work, giving excellent crop clearance and precise tracking in tramlines while minimising canopy contact and leaf abrasion. The rounded shoulder design and carefully tuned stiffness gradient from bead to crown maintain a consistent, centred footprint that reduces lateral scrub on headlands and keeps guidance systems on line. The large overall rolling circumference preserves ground speed accuracy for rate-controlled applications, supporting uniform droplet deposition by keeping forward velocity and wheel slip within tight tolerances in both firm and soft soils.

High-speed road stability. With a reinforced crown package, robust bead apex and low-heat compound, the Michelin Spraybib 380/90R50 175D delivers confident handling and thermal control during high-speed transport typical of self-propelled sprayers. The tread’s continuous centre elements and optimised lug pitch improve straight-line tracking and reduce shimmy, while the carcass architecture controls radial and lateral deflection to keep contact pressure distribution uniform under braking and cornering. Lower internal heat generation reduces carcass fatigue, supporting sustained operations over long road hauls between paddocks and protecting the tyre’s integrity across multiple seasons.

Stubble- and wear-resistant compound. A cut- and chip-resistant tread compound, coupled with additional undertread thickness and a robust tread base, helps the Michelin Spraybib 380/90R50 175D resist punctures and cracking from maize and cereal stubble, stones and headland debris. The rubber chemistry reduces abrasion and tearing under high torque from hydrostatic drives, while anti-oxidant and anti-ozonant additives help preserve sidewall elasticity against UV and ozone exposure. The result is slower wear, more consistent lug geometry over time, and predictable traction and rolling resistance characteristics that support lower total cost of ownership.

Self-cleaning lug geometry. Open lug voids, polished groove surfaces and wide evacuation channels enable the Michelin Spraybib 380/90R50 175D to shed soil rapidly, maintaining a clean tread face for consistent traction and minimal mud carryover onto roads. Efficient mud ejection lowers slip rates in wet paddocks, stabilising forward speed for precise application rates and reducing fuel burn associated with excess wheel slip. By keeping the tread blocks free to interlock with the soil, the design preserves drawbar pull without requiring higher inflation pressures, protecting soils while sustaining productivity across variable field conditions.
