Tubeless Bead Seal (TBS)

Michelin's Tubeless Bead Seal (TBS) technology is another revolutionary product that helps deliver the lowest costs and the highest productivity for your industrial or terminal applications.

For the first time, industrial machines, aircraft and baggage tow tractors, and trailers can be fitted with tubeless radial tires on standard, tube-type rims.

The TBS is a single profiled rubber ring that replaces both the tube and flap. It is placed inside the tire between the beads to ensure that the existing wheel and Michelin tubeless tire assembly are airtight.

TBS benefits include:

  • Elimination of all tube-related problems and downtime
  • Elimination of sudden deflation
  • Easier mounting and dismounting
  • Inventory reduction
