Michelin has launched their latest size update for its Pilot General Aviation tire - the 11×4.00-5 8/160 Pilot TL specially developed in collaboration with Beringer.

Frederic Behm, global segment lead for general aviation at Michelin. Says “For Michelin to introduce a new tire size in collaboration with Beringer is a testament to our commitment to the continued development of innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of the aviation market,

“The new tire size is specifically designed to meet customers’ needs for a large variety of aircraft, including ultralight, light, light sport and experimental planes.”

The tire features durable rubber compounds, configured for extra landings and extended tyre life and designed to provide true track taxi, takeoff and landings performance through smooth and precise handling. The tyre’s tubeless design effectively reduces overall wheel weight and helps eliminate the effect of tire creep on the wheel.

Claire Béringer, the CEO of Béringer Aéro states, “This collaboration with Michelin is an opportunity to meet market needs by combining a Beringer wheel with a Michelin tire, offering unique performances for our customers.”
