Michelin North America Inc. has introduced BFGoodrich ActivAir, a fully integrated tire inflation system for off-roaders.
"With ActivAir, drivers can adjust tire pressures to exact specifications, allowing them to conquer road, rock, sand, mud and more - without slowing their momentum," according to Michelin officials.
The system is designed by TELEFLOW and includes a display and control unit.
ActivAir "has been pressure-tested by top builders in some of the most extreme environments, such as Dakar Rally and the Ultra4 Racing circuit. The driver chooses one of four operating terrains and the system inflates or deflated tires. More experienced drivers have the option to manually select their desired pressures. ActivAir allows the transfer of all available power to the ground and maximizes traction."
Harold Phillips, global general manager, BFGoodrich, says the system will help "our off-road community optimize their vehicle performance. This latest innovation reinforces our focus on safe off-roading."
