Michelin Car Tyres
Michelin is emerging as a global leader in the development and production of transformative composites and technologies. With over 130 years of expertise in engineered materials, the company continues to push boundaries—producing premium tyres and components for vital applications across a wide range of demanding sectors, including transport, construction, aerospace, sustainable energy, and healthcare.
Michelin Tyres are represented by the iconic 'Michelin Man' logo, with Michelin being one of the world's largest and most recognisable tyre manufacturers. The company produces premium quality Michelin tyres for a wide range of vehicles and is the tyre of choice at many racing events.
The tyre technology used in all Michelin car tyres is one of the reasons they are a leading brand in the industry and a popular choice amongst motorists and car manufacturers alike. Leading manufacturers including Mercedes, Audi and BMW have chosen Michelin tyres as original equipment on their vehicles.
Popular Michelin tyres include the Pilot Sport 4 which offers enhanced handling and a motorsport tread pattern and the CrossClimate 3 which is Europe’s best-selling tyre, providing motorists with enhanced safety and performance in all road conditions.

History of Michelin Tyres
Incorporated in the UK in 1905, the Michelin Tyre Company has worked relentlessly on a range of projects including but not limited to its most famous, tyre making. Over the last 100 years, these have included tyre industry training, economic development and publishing.
In 1898, Michelin created the most famous man-made stack of tyres, as their original style of communication, the Michelin Man.
Michelin has thousands of tyre distributors around the UK and the Republic of Ireland that have been continuously supported by its extensive sales and technical teams.
Since 1905, Michelin has strived to place innovation at the forefront of its technology development, meaning all Michelin tyres are manufactured with premium technologies that put them above the rest. Tyre casing will ensure greater durability and will keep your fuel consumption down. With revolutionary tyre tread patterns designed to evolve and adapt as your tyre wears, the tyre will deliver performance and prolong its life as they wear.
Michelin has adopted an “All-sustainable” philosophy, aiming to balance human, economic, and environmental priorities in its growth strategy. The company has pledged to make its tyre division fully sustainable by 2050. As of now, close to 30% of the materials used in Michelin’s tyre production come from natural, recycled, or otherwise sustainable sources. Independent testing by DEKRA, with verification from ADAC, has confirmed Michelin’s leadership in reducing particle emissions from tyre wear—thanks to the design of its long-lasting tyres.
Technology in Michelin Tyres
Michelin integrates a range of advanced technologies across its tyre portfolio to enhance safety, performance, and driving comfort.
EverGrip technology ensures consistent wet grip throughout the tyre’s life by revealing new grooves and channels as the tread wears, helping to disperse water and reduce the risk of hydroplaning. Special rubber compounds further support traction in wet conditions.
MaxTouch construction maximises road contact, evenly distributing the forces of acceleration, braking, and cornering to extend tread life.
Energy Efficiency innovations are designed to reduce rolling resistance, improving fuel economy without compromising braking performance.
The Thermal Adaptive Tread Compound, featured in CrossClimate tyres, adjusts to changing weather conditions for improved control.
For driving enthusiasts, Bi-Compound Technology—used in the Pilot Sport range—delivers optimised grip in both wet and dry conditions.
Acoustic technology helps minimise external tyre noise through sound-dampening materials, while Premium Touch sidewall styling adds a distinctive dark velvet finish that highlights the Michelin brand and model
High Performance tyre technologies vary from “Dynamic Response” which is a hybrid belt of aramid and nylon that ensures outstanding transmission between steering instruction and the road, giving you ultimate control in varying weather conditions.
With safety-orientated tyre technologies such as Evergrip technology, the tyre has long-lasting performance optimised for sculpture and MaxTouch construction. This means that the tyres' contact with the road is evenly distributed as you drive.
