Michelin Tires From The Forerunner Of The Industry

By Teddy W. Pope


Michelin tires and the company that creates them gets a modern flare from its puffy Michelin Man logo. Also, the company is easily recognized just by this logo. But, the company can trace its origins back to the early part of the 1800's, as early as the 1830s, but it was not always called the Michelin Co. It was not until 1889 that the company would get the name it currently has. Yet, the Michelin Man that we all associate with the company did not make his presence until 1898. The discovery of rubber took place in 1829 and since then tires have met one novelty after another with Michelin leading the improvements.

Michelin started all of the innovations by creating detachable bicycle tires and then by placing the first pneumatic tires on automobiles. Over time Michelin eventually brought us to the kinds of tires we are accustomed to seeing today. There is no other tire company that has put more energy into improving the quality of the tires that we rely on to take us safely to our destinations on a regular basis.

Michelin tires are available for all the passenger vehicles we use today. And for each of these vehicle categories Michelin provides generalized and performance specific collections of tires. One of the advancements that Michelin has recently been working on is one that offers fuel efficiency and emissions from the manufacturing process.

The Michelin Energy Saver has special construction that enables your vehicle to get better gas mileage by lowering the effort that is required from your engine. The technology driving this tire is focused towards reducing rolling resistance. The advantage of these tires is to provide a greater fuel efficiency that can reach up to 8 percent more. By far, the highest rated tire from Michelin focusing on wear life, handling and braking is the HydroEdge. This is a tire that is designed for all season conditions and is a really great option for consumers with a 90,000 mile tread warranty.

High mileage warranties, innovation and unbeatable quality are all features of Michelin tires that put the brand above all of the rest. This company is greatly regarded in the consumer world, but be aware that Michelin does not only make tires for our cars and trucks. You will also discover Michelin tires on industrial-sized machines used for agriculture, construction, and mining as well as on the world's airplanes.
