Michelin Agilis 51
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Summer weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- Longer lasting tread life
- High driving comfort levels
OVERVIEW
The Michelin Agilis 51 is a highway terrain summer tire manufactured for commercial vehicles.
The tire promotes great summer weather traction. It combines the tread design with the summer compound to increase the dry and wet weather road grip. The symmetric ribbed pattern improves the grip on the road surface during its performance, while the compound's silica elements prevent heat build-up along the tread area. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water from below the footprint and keep the tire's surface contact throughout its performance, which enhances the wet weather grip.
The model's closer surface contact increases its controllability. The ribbed pattern keeps the tire's constant surface contact, which upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The stronger internal structure optimizes the tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting it. This increases the load carrying and withstanding ability, without allowing the tire to deform under the pressure affecting the model. In this manner, the tire upgrades the load capacity significantly.
The tire lengthens its usability. The durable compound and the ideal tread pattern guarantee an even tread wear throughout the model's lifetime. The silica compound slows the tread wear rate down with the wear-resistant rubber materials, while the tread design ensures even pressure distribution along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively avoid uneven wear formations. This combination provides a longer lasting tread and service life.
The Agilis 51 boosts the driving comfort levels as well. The tread's variable pitch sequence manages to lower the road and tread pattern noise heard while the tires are in motion. It creates a special sound frequency that negates the soundwaves before they can reach the vehicle's cabin. As the road noise is not heard by the passengers, road disturbances cannot dampen their driving enjoyment, offering a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
