FAQs
Is the Michelin Agilis 51 suitable for winter driving?
It is designed for all-season use and features sipes for light snow, but it is not a dedicated winter tyre. Use extreme caution in heavy ice or deep snow.
What does the 'C' mean in the tyre size 215/65 R16C?
The 'C' stands for Commercial, indicating that the tyre has a reinforced construction specifically designed to carry heavier loads typical of vans and light trucks.
How do I check the manufacturing date of my tyres?
Look for the DOT code on the sidewall; the last four digits represent the week and year of manufacture.
Does this tyre come with a specific warranty?
Michelin provides a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in workmanship and materials. Please consult the warranty documentation provided at purchase.
Can I use these on a passenger SUV?
While technically possible, these are designed for commercial transport. They may have a stiffer ride quality than passenger-specific tyres.
Troubleshooting
Uneven tread wear
Check your vehicle's wheel alignment and ensure you are rotating the tyres at recommended intervals.
Vibration during driving
Have the wheels balanced by a technician and check for any physical damage or lodged debris in the tread.
Reduced traction in wet conditions
Measure remaining tread depth; if it is below 1.6mm, the tyres must be replaced immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance and safety, follow these guidelines for the MICHELIN Agilis 51:
- Professional Installation: Always have your tyres mounted by a certified technician to ensure proper bead seating and valve replacement.
- Inflation Pressure: Refer to your vehicle owner's manual or the door placard for recommended tire pressure. Commercial vehicles often require specific pressures based on load capacity.
- Rotation Schedule: Rotate your tyres every 6,000 to 8,000 miles to ensure uniform tread wear and extend the lifespan of the set.
- Alignment: Check wheel alignment at least once a year or whenever irregular wear is detected to prevent premature degradation.
- Visual Inspection: Regularly check for stones caught in the grooves, cracks, or deep cuts in the sidewall, especially after driving on construction sites or rough roads.
