Cessna, the world's largest general aviation aircraft
manufacturer, and Michelin, Cessna's long-time business
jet tire supplier, have expanded a recent agreement to
include tires for piston-engine planes.
Of interest to tire dealers serving the pilot/airport
marketplace, nearly all of Cessna’s piston-driven
planes, plus a majority of Citation business jets, will
now be fitted with Michelin’s tires.
In August of last year, Michelin signed a contract to
produce original equipment tires for Cessna’s piston and
jet planes, becoming the aviation manufacturer’s leading
tire supplier.
“The five-year contract further strengthened the strong
relationship that has existed between Michelin and
Cessna for many years,” says the tire maker, adding that
“to meet the demands of the largest general aviation
aircraft manufacturer, Michelin developed a solution
that offered the most effective combination of quality,
weight and technological features.”
