Michelin has announced the launch of a new pilot dimension developed in collaboration with Beringer Aero at EAA Air Vent Aoshkosh
Greenville, South Carolina, July 22, 2025 – Michelin, the global leader in tire innovation, is proud to announce the latest size update – 11×4.00-5 8/160 Pilot TL.
Common aviation tires from Michelin Pilots have long been the standard for high performance bias tires, offering exceptional strength and durability on a wide variety of aircraft. The latest addition of sizes continues this tradition, allowing pilots to rely on Michelin for their most demanding aviation needs. ”
“For Michelin, introducing new tire sizes in collaboration with Bellinger is a testament to our commitment to continuing development of innovative solutions and meeting the evolving needs of the aviation market.” “This new size will provide significant benefits to ordinary aviation aircraft owners and provide the reliability and performance that Michelin expects.”
It features a highly durable rubber compound, designed to extend the life of your tires, provide true truck taxis, take-offs, landings, and ensure smooth and accurate handling. Its tubeless design helps reduce overall wheel weight and eliminate the effect of tire creep on the wheels.
“This collaboration with Michelin is an opportunity to meet the needs of the market by combining Bellinger wheels and Michelin tires to provide unique performance improvements to our customers.”
New Pilot GA tire sizes are currently available. Michelin and Bellinger are excited to see the positive impact they have on customer satisfaction. Tires will appear in both the Michelin and Bellinger booths at the EAA Airventure Oshkosh.
