Michelin Introduces New X Tweel Turf Sizes
Michelin North America has added new Tweel airless radial tires to its portfolio. Michelin will bring these Turf products to the commercial zero-turn radius mower line.
The new Michelin Tweel sizes are available as original equipment or as an aftermarket option. For instance, John Deere ZTrak 900 Series ZTR mower owners with 48″ mower decks can buy the Michelin X Tweel Turf airless solution using 24″ rear wheels with 4″x4″ bolt-pattern hubs for the commercial mowers. The 24x12N12 size 4″x4″ bolt pattern has a 750-pound load capacity.
Kubota Z700 Series mowers with 54″ and 60″ mower decks can now utilize the Michelin X Tweel Turf airless tires using the 24″ rear tire/wheels with 5-4.5″ bolt pattern hubs. This wheel is also the 24x12N12 size that has the 750-pound load capacity and is available as original equipment or as an aftermarket option.
The 15″ Michelin X Tweel Turf caster is also now available for large diesel ZTR mowers that use a 26″ rear drive tire. The 15x6N6 size configuration provides enhanced performance and more stability with a smooth “tread”. It has a load capacity of 370 lbs and a 16-mph speed rating. It fits a large range of mowers, including the Bad Boy Renegade Diesel 6100, Cub Cadet Pro Z, Gravely Pro-Turn 400 & 600, Hustler Super 104, John Deere Ztrak Z997R Diesel, Kubota ZD1211 and ZD1511 Diesel, and Toro 7500D Series.
Once a Michelin Tweel wheel is mounted, you won’t have to worry about maintaining air pressure. They eliminate the need to carry spare tires, tools, or repair kits. The Michelin X Tweel Turf line contains high-performance compounds and an efficient contact patch designed to provide two to three times the service life of a pneumatic tire at equal tread depth.
