Quick Bio and Tires For Sale
In 1891 the Michelin brothers, Edouard and Andre, were intrigued by the opportunity to create a more practical solution to a challenging bicycle tire repair. The result was the first patented removable pneumatic tire. The newly created Michelin tire would go on to win the world’s first long distance cycling race. Thus began Michelin Tires’ tradition of innovation and winning. Innovations that have contributed to Michelin’s growth include the invention of the detachable steel wheel and spare tire (1913); the “Stop” tire, which introduced the world to anti-skid tire technology (1934); and the first asymmetric tire, the Michelin XAS, for high-speed cars (1965).
The combination of its growth throughout Europe and the United States in the early 19th century, its many innovations in the automotive and travel industries, and its purchase of respected tire brands, BFGoodrich, Uniroyal and Riken, have helped fuel Michelin Tires, propelling it into the 2nd spot on the list of the world’s largest tire manufacturers (based on 2011 sales data).
Michelin’s success on the track, in MotoGP, Formula One and the Le Mans Series, has served as a proving ground for innovations, allowing them to bring their race-tested technology to the consumer tire market. Michelin Tires remains committed to innovation, offering a great selection of tires that fit a variety needs.
