Cessna expands Michelin OEM agreement

In August 2010, Michelin signed a five-year tyre supply agreement with Cessna covering supply to the US aircraft manufacturer’s business jet range. The tyre maker now reports this agreement has been expanded to include supplying tyres for piston-engine aircraft. Under this enlarged agreement, Michelin tyres are now fitted on nearly all Cessna piston aircraft and most Citation business jets.

In announcing the extension to the agreement, Michelin commented that the 2010 deal “further strengthened the strong relationship that has existed between Michelin and Cessna for many years.”
