CHARACTERISTICS OF MICHELIN EARTHMOVER TYRES
Transport (rigid dump trucks, trucks, ), Articulated dump trucks, Scrapers: Standard This table is used when the work is carried out at load speeds up to 50 km/h. This is standardised under the name Transport 50 km/h. For different speeds, the load capacity will be adapted by applying the coefcients dened by the international standards. (see table ETRTO 2008 E.7 below). The greyed box indicates the nominal load of the tire. Use speed Transport of reference 50 km/h:

70 km/h

This table is used for the vehicles at speeds of up to 70 km/h (tyres of index speed E).

Crane (Highway service): speed reference 70 km/h, Speed Symbol E or speed reference 80 km/h, Speed Symbol F. All earthmover tyres tted on vehicles with a predominant road usage (all terrain vehicles, cranes, intervention vehicles ) that are driven on roads for long distances at the speed of reference and under constant load. The Loads / Speeds / Pressures table makes it possible to adapt the pressure to the wanted load according to principal speeds of use. Desert conditions 80 km/h: Depending on whether the vehicle is tted simple or twin, the corresponding load table will be adopted. Road (Road in single / Road in twin): These pressures are to be applied when the vehicle runs on good roads (This means asphalt or compacted surfaces). For these conditions the pressures have been calculated for a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Track (Track in single / Track in twin): These pressures are recommended for driving on bad roads, washboard (corrugated) and gravel or desert surfaces. For these conditions the pressures have been calculated for a maximum speed of 65 km/h (40 mph). Sand (Sand in single / sand in twin): These pressures are used to allow the vehicle to cross without difculty the difcult areas where the problem of adherence or depression can be important. To avoid premature depletion of the kilometric performance, the speed must be limited to 20 km/h (12,5 mph) After "sand" use, the pressure must be readjusted for subsequent conditions of use (road or track). Desert condition 65 km/h: Depending on whether the vehicle is tted simple or twin, the corresponding load table will be adopted. Road (Road in single / Road in twin): These pressures are to be applied when the vehicle runs on good roads (This means asphalt or compacted surfaces). For these conditions the pressures have been calculated for a maximum speed of 65 km/h (40 mph) Track (Track in single / Track in twin): These pressures are recommended for driving on bad roads, washboard (corrugated) and gravel or desert surfaces. For these conditions the pressures have been calculated for a maximum speed of 50 km/h (30 mph). Sand (Sand in single / sand in twin): These pressures are used to allow the vehicle to cross without difculty the difcult areas where the problem of adherence or depression can be important. To avoid premature depletion of the kilometric performance, the speed must be limited to 15 km/h (9,3 mph). After "sand" use, the pressure must be readjusted for subsequent conditions of use (road or track).
