Industrial pneumatic tires (radial & bias)
The catalog breaks pneumatic options into radial (Michelin) and bias (Solideal), giving fleets choices based on ride, stability, and site conditions.
Radial pneumatics (Michelin)
The radial section includes Michelin models such as XZM, XZM2+ / XZM2+A, X Stacker 2, X Stacker 3 HD, X Straddle 2, X Terminal T, XZR, and X AGV EV.
Solideal bias pneumatics (quick highlights)
Solideal AIR 550
Solideal AIR 550 is positioned for durability, performance, and comfort, with design callouts including a flat-profile tread for stability/comfort, deep tread lugs for traction and life, and thick sidewalls for side-impact protection.
- Flat-profile tread: improved stability and reduced vibration for comfort
- Deep tread lugs + abrasion-resistant compound: traction and longer tire life
- Thick sidewall + heavy-duty carcass: added puncture/impact protection
Solideal ED Plus NM (non-marking)
ED Plus NM is presented as a durable, performing, comfortable non-marking tire for indoor operations and fleets that want clean floors. The catalog highlights a non-marking natural rubber compound and additional rubber volume versus standard tires.
- Non-marking natural rubber compound: helps prevent visible floor marks
- Sidewall + carcass protection: designed to resist impacts and punctures
- Chunking/cutting reduction: highlighted benefit for demanding sites
Solideal AIR 570 (energy efficiency focus)
AIR 570 is positioned as an energy-efficient pneumatic solution for electric trucks, with a rib pattern and low-abrasion compound intended to support low rolling resistance and reduced vibration, plus reinforced construction for puncture resistance.
- RIB pattern + low-abrasion compound: low rolling resistance for energy efficiency
- Smooth center lug: reduced vibration and enhanced steerability
- Reinforced carcass/sidewall: puncture resistance to help prevent flats
Resilient solid tires (RES): super-elastic / flat-proof options
The catalog includes Solideal resilient solid families for fleets that want flat-proof uptime and stability, including:
- RES 660 Xtreme Series and RES Xtreme NM (non-marking)
- RES 550 Magnum Series and Magnum NM (non-marking)
- RES 330, RIB, Solidair LT, Solidair ZZRIB, HT Bomber, SM, and SM SL+
Press-on tires (PON): industrial press-on options
For press-on applications, the catalog includes Solideal press-on families such as:
- PON 775 and PON 775 NMAS
- PON 555 and PON 555 NM
- PON 550 and PON 550 NM
- SM HL and SM SRP / SRP+
How to choose the right Michelin/Solideal option
- If flats and punctures are the main pain: consider resilient solids (RES) or press-ons (PON).
- If you need the best ride over mixed surfaces: start in pneumatics (radial or bias).
- If you’re on clean floors or finished concrete: consider non-marking models (NM / NMAS variants).
- If your fleet is electric and energy use matters: look for low rolling resistance / energy-focused pneumatic options like AIR 570.
Want help choosing the right model and size?
- Forklift make/model (or capacity class)
- Current tire sizes (drive & steer)
- Indoor/outdoor surfaces + debris/impact conditions
- Preference: pneumatic vs resilient solid vs press-on
- Special needs: non-marking, energy efficiency, puncture resistance
