CASING-REINFORCEMENTS
A tyre’s casing is made up of threads, the thickness of which varies according to the tyre range, makes it robust, flexible, efficient and lightweight. The more threads there are, the finer they are, making the tyre lighter. On the contrary, the less threads there are, the bigger they are, making the tyre stronger. TPI (Threads Per Inch) refers to the density of threads per inch.

High-density cross-laid reinforcement protecting the whole tyre casing. The crown and sidewalls are reinforced to provide maximum protection and durability.
TREAD PATTERN![](/documents/Michelin Technology Logos/Gravel-Design.jpg?u=1S3h9/)
Tread pattern designed for gripping trails with its small tread blocks.
RUBBERS
Rubber's characteristics give the tyre different performances. Rubbers can be either Mono-Compound or Bi-Compound.

Tubeless Ready tyres can be fitted without an inner tube provided that a tubeless wheel is used, the maximum pressure is not exceeded, sealant is added and the tyre pressure is checked before each ride.
