02 / Company & ownership
Behind the brand.
Michelin began as a French tyre company in 1889 and today applies its materials expertise across passenger, motorcycle, bicycle, commercial and specialist mobility markets. For shoppers, this dossier concerns MICHELIN-branded tyres rather than Michelin Guide ratings or every Michelin Group activity. Tyres must be selected by vehicle approval, size, load and speed ratings, season, use and local rules; warranty and fitment depend on the exact line and market.
