Michelin CEREXBIB Agricultural IF/VF Harvester Tire

The Michelin CEREXBIB is Michelin's flagship harvester tire line, purpose-built for large combine harvesters, grain carts, trailers, and heavy implements. Engineered on the proven Michelin Ultraflex Technology platform — representing over two decades of agricultural tire innovation — the CEREXBIB line delivers industry-leading load capacity at dramatically reduced inflation pressures, combining outstanding soil protection with measurable productivity gains throughout the harvest season.

Michelin Ultraflex IF & VF Technology:

• VF (Very High Flexion): Carry up to 40% more load at the same pressure versus a standard radial tire, or run the same load at significantly reduced pressure for superior soil protection and flotation
• IF (Increased Flexion): Carry up to 20% more load at the same pressure versus a standard radial tire, or run at reduced pressure to minimize soil compaction and preserve field structure
• CFO+ (Cyclic Field Operation Plus): An exclusive Michelin designation offering a second and lower 6 mph cyclic loading table — beyond the standard CFO 10 mph table — delivering up to a 10% bonus in load-carrying capacity at the same pressure, or the ability to carry the same load at even lower pressures
• Flexible sidewall casing creates a larger contact footprint, expanding the contact patch by up to 35% to distribute machine weight more evenly across the soil surface and significantly reduce ruts and compaction
• Compatible with Central Tire Inflation Systems (CTIS) for convenient on-the-go pressure adjustment between field and road use without leaving the cab

Productivity & Soil Health Benefits:

• Independent trials — including studies conducted by Harper Adams University — confirm that Michelin Ultraflex technology delivers a proven yield increase of approximately 4% by reducing soil compaction
• Low ground pressure preserves soil structure for future harvests, contributing to long-term field productivity and crop performance
• Optimized tread design increases traction and delivers measurable fuel savings of up to 10%, while improving overall field safety and reducing slip
• High flotation performance delivers superior traction in all field conditions — including wet and sloped terrain — minimizing rutting and maximizing power transfer to the ground
• Designed and tested in direct collaboration with leading harvester manufacturers to meet real-world harvesting demands

Design & Construction:

• Strong yet flexible casing construction provides excellent puncture resistance — critical for operating around crop stubble, metal debris, and other field hazards
• Reinforced sidewalls with high-deflection design and specialized rubber compounds optimize load distribution and extend service life under heavy, cyclical harvest loads
• Available in both front and rear axle configurations across a broad range of sizes to suit a wide variety of large harvesting equipment
• Modern tire profile improves on-road mobility and road transport capability without compromising field soil protection performance
• Backed by Michelin's comprehensive warranty and guarantee for added peace of mind

The Michelin CEREXBIB tire line represents the pinnacle of harvester tire engineering, combining Ultraflex IF and VF technology with exclusive CFO+ cyclic load ratings to meet the rigorous demands of today's largest agricultural machinery. Whether protecting fragile soils during critical harvest windows or navigating roads between fields, the CEREXBIB delivers the performance, soil stewardship, and long-term value that professional agricultural operations demand.
