Discover the Revolutionary Michelin Collection TRX Tire

Innovative Design and Unmatched Performance

Experience a groundbreaking innovation in the tire industry with the Michelin Collection TRX. Originally launched in 1975, Michelin's experts introduced a tire that evenly distributes tension across its entire carcass, a feature that inspired its name. "TR" stands for "tension répartie," meaning "distributed tension." This design not only enhances performance but also provides a smoother and more stable ride.

Proven Track Record in Motorsport

The TRX tire has proven its capabilities on the race track, being the choice for iconic vehicles such as Alain Prost's Renault, the Audi Quattro, Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, and the Renault R5 Turbo during the World Rally Championship. Its harmonious integration with the wheel creates an inseparable unit, revolutionizing the traditional tire and rim relationship.

Advanced Wheel and Tire Integration

The TRX features a unique design where the rim undergoes a significant transformation, characterized by a low, flat rim flange. This innovative arrangement allows for a seamless curvature of the tire's carcass, eliminating sharp bends and enhancing durability and performance.

A Preferred Choice for Leading Manufacturers

Many leading car manufacturers, with BMW at the forefront, equip their vehicles with the Michelin TRX tire. Its advanced technology and proven reliability make it an ideal choice for passenger cars, ensuring a superior driving experience in various conditions. Whether you're seeking performance, innovation, or historical significance, the Michelin Collection TRX stands out as a remarkable tire choice for discerning drivers.

The first 'low profile' tyre

The invention of the TRX by Michelin in 1975 permitted a more even distribution of tension in the whole tyre casing, which is where the name of TR standing for “Tension Repartie” ('distributed tension') comes from. The TRX won renown in Formula 1 racing with Renault and Prost and in the world rally championship on the Audi Quattro, 205 Turbo 16 and R5 Turbo.

For the first time, the tyre and its rim complemented one another perfectly, working as a single unit. The rim underwent a fundamental transformation, the essential characteristic of which was a flatter, lower flange. This new design of the rim and tyre bead resulted in a gradual curvature of the casing, without the 'S' shaped flexing
inherent in traditional designs.

Thanks to this innovative construction, the TRX tyre offers better directional stability and makes a great contribution to the active safety of the vehicle, thanks to its exceptional handling close to the limit, especially when cornering.

• Remarkable grip thanks to the ideal distribution of pressure in the contact patch.
• Excellent comfort due to increased useful flexing zone.
• New look to the tyre/wheel assembly and the heavily sculpted tread pattern.
