MICHELIN TR - Quality at less cost!
When designing their cycle tyres, MICHELIN use two types of bead, flexible beads (TS) and rigid beads (TR). The traditional design of cycle tyres uses rigid beads, generally made of steel. This material is heavier than the aramide fibres used in making flexible beads but it's much cheaper. Although used little or not at all in higher performance tyres, with the exception of Down Hill tyres, they are nonetheless of very good quality.
