Michelin North America Inc. (MNA) has introduced a new product to its Uniroyal Tiger Paw line, the Tiger Paw AS65. The tire is designed for small compact cars and minivans.

The T-rated Tiger Paw AS65 is backed by a 65,000-mile manufacturer's tread wear warranty. It will be available June 1 in more than 25 sizes, ranging from 13 inches to 18 inches in diameter.

The tire contains Uniroyal's signature DuraShield Technology, which includes two heavy-duty polyester carcass plies to absorb impact and carry heavy loads; "pyramial belt construction" for extra durability; heavy gauge liners for enhanced endurance; and other features, according to MNA officials.
