“NZG” TECHNOLOGY
What is NZG ??
Our R&D Efforts have developed a new Reinforcing Material :
Higher Modulus than Nylon(Growth limited to less than 3%)
Modulus stable with temperature (Maintains geometry at high temperature)

Non inflated tyre : Nylon vs NZG Comparison
For a given inflated diameter, because NZG grows less,its non-inflated diameter is larger
Michelin Proprietary
Tyre weight can be adjusted to optimize performance.
NZG tyre is up to 15 % lighter than equivalent Michelin radial nylon tyre. While often keeping a deep skid for optimum landings per tread.Lower moment of inertia produces less wear at touch down.

NZG design features
NZG structure grows less than nylon. (non inflated tyre size 5 cm larger than equivalent nylon tyre )
Squared and balanced footprint
Ability to resist FOD / tyre survivability.
Michelin Proprietary
NZG structure Reduced Elongation..
Better resistance to abrasion for optimum landings per tread and reduced maintenance.
Better resistance to tear and cuts for a reduction of early removals and increased average landings per tread.
Better tread and sidewall resistance to ozone attack & aging.

Certification of our NZG tyre.
A 1400x530R23 NZG tyre has been proposed within theA340-500/-600 program.
It is expected to certified by the end of 2002.
Then, it will become the new standard tyre for A340-500/-600 original equipment
