Michelin® Earthmover Product Catalog MICHELIN ® EARTHMOVER PRODUCT CATALOG ➤ CONSTRUCTION ➤ COMPACT EQUIPMENT ➤ MINING ➤ QUARRY ➤ SMALL INDUSTRIAL TIRES JULY 2019 (NORTH AMERICA EDITION) ▲ ACCORDING TO THE STANDARDIZED USAGE (ISO-ETRTO-TRA-JATMA*) The four main categories of earthmover tire are defined by their use. The category to which it belongs is indicated on the sidewall of the tire. This is an international classification: C Compactor * ISO: International Standard Organisation G Grader ETRTO: European Tire and Rim Technical Organisation E Earthmoving TRA: Tire and Rim Association L Loader and bulldozer JATMA: Japan Automobile Tire Manufacturers Association Within these categories, there are different tread depths and special tread patterns, for very specific uses. These are identified by a number. They must be chosen according to the type of ground and the tire’s condition of use. The letter “S” indicates a smooth tread; example: L-5S. 1 Ribbed (normal tread depth) 2 Traction (normal tread depth) 3 Normal (normal tread depth) 4 Deep (deep tread) 5 Flotation (normal tread) ▲ ACCORDING TO THEIR TREAD DEPTHS The tread depth ‘SUPER, D1, D2’ is sometimes indicated on the sidewall tire. D2 SUPER D1 SUPER D1 N N D2 External Ø External Ø (E2 - E3 - L2 -L3 - (SUPER E3, SUPER L3) (E4 - L4 - G4) (L5) G2 - G3) Regular tread Deep tread Extra deep tread Traction / Regular tread Michelin® designation: Aggressive ground Abrasive and aggressive Michelin® designation: SUPER Michelin® designation: ground N (Normal) (N < SUPER < D1) D1 = N x 1.5 Michelin® designation: D2 = N x 2.5 ▲ SUMMARY
