MICHELIN CerexBIB 2 with IF and VF CFO+ Agricultural Tires

The MICHELIN CerexBIB 2 with IF and VF CFO+ designations pushes the load and pressure limits for combine harvesters and other large harvesting equipment.

• Now available in nine front sizes and seven rear sizes
• CFO+ technology offers second and lower 6 mph cyclic loading table over standard CFO of one 10-mph cyclic loading table
• Farmers may gain up to a 10% bonus⁽²⁾ in load-carrying capacity at same pressure, or option of carrying same load at lower pressures to maximize floatation and traction, and minimize soil compaction
• Central tire inflation system enabled
• Provides up to 35% more load capacity at the same pressure versus leading competitors⁽²⁾
• May run as low as 17 psi while carrying a load of 21,740 lbs. (9861.1 kg)
• Contact patch expands up to 35%⁽³⁾ to reduce soil compaction and protect soil for future harvests
• Tread is designed to increase traction, fuel savings and improve safety
• Incorporates MICHELIN Ultraflex IF and VF technology which offers good load capacity, low ground pressure and high levels of traction in the field⁽⁴⁾
• Offers fuel savings up to 10%⁽¹⁾ as well as potentially contributes to increased crop yields⁽⁵⁾ 
• Front sizes include: VF520/85R42, VF580/85R42, VF710/70R42, IF800/65R32, IF800/70R32, IF800/70R38, IFVF900/60R32, VF900/60R38 and VF900/60R42
• Rear sizes offered: VF500/85R34, VF520/80R26, VF520/85R30, VF620/70R26, VF620/70R30, VF710/65R30 and VF750/65R26

1. According to field test results from more than 80 demonstrations per year conducted worldwide by Michelin.
2. Based on a study comparing the Bridgestone VT Combine IF CFO tire, a Trelleborg TM2000 tire, a MICHELIN CEREXBIB 2 VF CFO+ tire and a MITAS SFT CHO tire in size 900/60R32.
3. Based on internal testing comparing a MICHELIN CEREXBIB 2 CFO+ tire and a MICHELIN MEGAXBIB tire in size 900/60R32.
4. Based on a study comparing a first-generation MICHELIN CEREXBIB, a MICHELIN MEGAXBIB and a MICHELIN CEREXBIB 2 VT CFO+ in size 900/60R32.
