Michelin's New Tire

Delta Farm Press recently announced that Michelin North America is going to introduce a new extension to its popular AgriBib lineup later this year.

The new Michelin AgriBib 480 95 R50 model is a taller sized, rear fitment tire designed primarily for larger, front-wheel assist tractors to handle bigger loads.  It can also be used during crop applications on large, four wheel drive machines.

James Crouch, farm segment marketing manager for Michelin North America, said the Michelin AbriBib 480 95 R50 features ride quality compared to some of the best in the market.  It has long lasting tread, better traction and impressive clean-out.

Michelin is going to partner with John Deer and Case New Holland on the launch into the North American market.  This will take place in the fourth quarter of 2014.  Initially the tire will be available on new equipment purchases and then later available as a replacement tire.
