130 years of innovation, serving a complex product: the tire

Beneath its apparent simplicity,the tire is a composite objectthat hides a complex nature: the combination of over200 different components and materials, which Michelin has mastered perfectly.

In fact, Michelin relies on over130 years of expertise and know-how in tires, to meet a wide variety of conditions of use and to contribute to the development of sustainable mobility.

Tires that make the difference

Tires that meet every mobility need

Whether for private or professional customers,Michelin’s expertise in tires is recognized worldwide in many markets.

On the car market of course, for which Michelin offers an entire range of products such as four-season tires or tires for electric cars. But also on the road transport, bike and motorcycle markets, and specialty markets such as civil engineering, agriculture, or aviation, which have high requirements in terms of efficacy, availability, safety, and sustainability.

Michelin accompanies its customers on all these markets, to meet all their mobility requirements.

Michelin, facing the greatest challenge ever: an all-sustainable tire

Convinced that technological progress is one of the answers to environmental challenges, the Group has set theambitious goal of integrating 100% renewable and recycled materials in its tires by 2050, and 40% as of 2030.

To Michelin, a tire presented as being “sustainable” can only really be so by considering all its environmental impacts. This means acting at every stage of its life cycle, from the supply of raw materials, through design, production, transport, and usage, right up to the recycling phase.
