2. Michelin PAX System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_PAX_System

   So although comparable PAX tires were heavier than conventional counterparts, they were not that much heavier (Michelin claims four PAX System assemblies are equal to the weight of 4.7 standard tire-wheel assemblies). However, rotating mass and unsprung weight of the wheels and tires on the ground increased, which is a disadvantage.

3. Radial tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_tire

   [3] Michelin owned the leading automaker Citroën, so it was quickly able to introduce its new design, including on the new 1948 Citroën 2CV model. [8] In 1952, Michelin developed a radial truck tire. [9] Because of its significant advantages in durability and fuel economy, [10] this technology spread quickly in Europe and Asia in the 1950s ...

   Furthermore, they were subject to flat tyres, unlike cars with steel wheels. Eventually, the Michelines gave way to rubber-tyred metros , pioneered by the RATP (Paris transit authority) which introduced them for their superior acceleration characteristics, in order to increase the capacity of their subway lines.

5. Michelin - Wikipedia

   Michelin developed and patented a key innovation in tyre history, the 1946 radial tyre, and successfully exploited this technological innovation to become one of the world's leading tyre manufacturers. [8] The radial was initially marketed as the "X" tyre. [9] It was developed with the front-wheel-drive Citroën Traction Avant and Citroën 2CV in

6. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   The radial axis runs from the tire center toward the tread, and is the vertical axis running from the roadway through the tire center toward the vehicle. This axis supports the vehicle's weight. The lateral axis runs sideways across the tread. This axis is parallel to the tire mounting axle on the vehicle. The tangential axis is the one in the ...

7. Michelin TRX - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_TRX

   The Michelin TRX, (and the related TDX), is a radial tire introduced by the Michelin Group in 1975. It is one of the first volume-produced low-profile tires. Although technologically advanced, and reasonably successful, the tire's requirement for a non-standard rim ultimately condemned it to a relatively short commercial life.
