2024 is looking to be a revolutionary year for tire technology. With vendors like Michelin standing at the forefront of pioneering new tech, carriers can expect substantial changes in how they roll… including Michelin airless tires.<\/p>\n
Here are the top tech tire trends to look for in 2024.<\/p>\n

You read that right.<\/p>\n
In 2024, Michelin and General Motors intend to roll out the very first airless tires for select vehicles.<\/p>\n\n

Michelin anticipates that airless tires will last 3x longer than typical tires. Not a bad trade-off for the higher pricing.<\/p>\n Michelin plans to make UPTIS tires available in 2024.<\/p>\n While you wait, Michelin has dominated 2023 with the fuel-saving Xline Energy Z<\/a> tire. Boasting 20% more mileage and 5% better rolling resistance, the Xline Energy Z tire can be had by filling out a form like the one below.<\/p>\n\n <\/p> <\/ul><\/div>\n
