Michelin Condor Aircraft Tire 6.00-6 8PR

The Michelin Aircraft Tire 072-317-0 from the Condor series is engineered for general aviation operators who require higher strength and dependable performance during routine and intensive operations. Manufactured by Michelin, this tire is intended for certified light aircraft operating primarily from paved surfaces.

This tire features a 6.00-6 size with an 8-ply rating (8PR), delivering increased load-carrying capability and improved resistance to wear compared to lower ply alternatives. As a result, it is well suited for aircraft with higher operating weights, frequent landing cycles, or training use. The bias-ply construction and reinforced casing help maintain structural integrity throughout repeated taxi, takeoff, and landing operations.

The Michelin Condor series uses an aviation-grade rubber compound developed to provide consistent grip and controlled braking on hard runway surfaces. Therefore, pilots benefit from smooth ground handling, predictable braking response, and reduced vibration during everyday general aviation operations. This tire is rated for speeds up to 120 mph, aligning with typical piston-engine GA aircraft operating profiles.

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 reliable performance throughout the tire’s service life.

Overall, the Michelin Condor 6.00-6 aircraft tire is an excellent choice for aircraft owners, flight schools, and maintenance organizations seeking a durable, higher-capacity aviation tire for dependable general aviation operations.
