Michelin ZTR-TB-ENG-180727 User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the technical bulletin for the Michelin X TWEEL ZTR Airless Radial tire. This document provides critical installation instructions, especially emphasizing the importance of proper torque and the star pattern sequence when tightening lug bolts. I am ready to answer any questions you may have about the installation or maintenance of this tire.
  • What type of lug nuts should be used?
    What is the maximum torque value?
    When should lug nuts be re-torqued?
