Mean Green Mower offers Michelin’s Tweel airless tires

Greenville, SC – One of the strongest names in landscaping, Mean Green Mowers, will now have the option of being fitted with MICHELIN X TWEEL TURF 24-inch tires.

The new offering (24x12N12 10×8.5 +1.7-inch offset) can be used as either an Original Equipment (OE) rear-wheel option, or as a replacement fitment on an existing mower, replacing the standard 24x12x12 tire.

“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Mean Green to offer Tweels on even more of their innovative all-electric mowers,” said Tony Marconi, business director of Michelin Tweel Technologies. “Building on the success of the innovative ‘hubless’ Tweel for their EVO mowers, we are exhilarated to expand this design, which mounts directly to the motor-hub-drive unit on both their RIVAL and VANQUISHTM mowers.”

Mean Green Mowers are known for their reputation of being maintenance free, energy efficient, and more environmentally friendly than traditional mowers, remaining consistent with Michelin’s ambition to deliver sustainable solutions.

“Mean Green and Michelin have had a successful collaboration on our environmental journey since 2018,” said Joe Conrad, president of Mean Green Mowers. “Our team knows that the MICHELIN X TWEEL TURF TIRE and caster provide an airless radial tire that has a consistent hub height. This produces an even cut and excellent lateral stability for outstanding side-hill performance to provide a maintenance-free solution for our customers. We couldn’t be happier.”

Designed to perform like pneumatic tires, the MICHELIN X TWEEL airless radial tire line replaces the current tire-and-wheel assembly, removes the need for complex mounting equipment, and eliminates any costly downtime due to flat tires, a key pain point in the landscaping industry.

The MICHELIN X TWEEL TURF TIRE size 24x12N12 features a 750-pound load capacity, which can be used with or without a bagger system. It also incorporates a hubless design, which uses either a 5-bolt configuration to attach a retrofit replacement for existing mowers, or a 10-bolt standard OE configuration for new production mowers.
