The Michelin Pilot 025-309-0 aircraft tire is designed for general aviation operators who demand durability, predictable ground handling, and long service life. Manufactured by Michelin, the Pilot series is engineered to meet the operational requirements of certified light aircraft operating primarily from paved surfaces.

This tire features a 5.00-5 size with a 6-ply rating (6PR), offering a balanced combination of load-carrying capability and resistance to wear. As a result, it is well suited for both private ownership and flight training environments where repeated taxi, takeoff, and landing cycles are common. The reinforced casing helps maintain structural integrity throughout the tire’s service life.

Therefore, pilots benefit from stable braking performance, smooth ground handling, and reduced vibration during routine operations. This tire is rated for speeds up to 160 mph, aligning with higher-performance general aviation aircraft.

In addition, the TT/TL compatibility allows the tire to be installed either with an inner tube or in tubeless configurations, depending on wheel design and approved aircraft data. This provides added flexibility for maintenance organizations and operators.

Furthermore, the tire is approved for use on a wide range of general aviation aircraft when installed in accordance with aircraft, wheel, and tire manufacturer specifications. Michelin’s strict quality control processes ensure uniformity, balance, and dependable performance throughout the tire’s service life.
