An increased number of plies within the sidewall also reduces the strain on each ply, making the tyre more resistant to cuts.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Company, safety and stability for 360-degree work is enhanced through multi-directional tread blocks which work from six different angles and feature 12 ridges per block, providing much greater traction for wheeled excavators and stability when the machine\u2019s stabilisers are not in use. Puncture risks are reduced thanks to a sidewall that is said to be 57 per cent thicker than the current market leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyre options for wheeled excavators have expanded with the introduction of the \u2018Power Digger\u2019 \u2013 described by Michelin as \u2018the most robust dual-fitment excavator tyre we\u2019ve ever manufactured\u2019.
