Where is the Michelin tire manufacturer located?
1 Answers
Michelin tires are produced in various locations around the world, with research and testing centers established in China, France, Japan, Spain, the United States, and Thailand. In China, Michelin has two factories located in Shanghai and Shenyang. Below is additional information: 1. Differences between domestically produced Michelin tires: Michelin tires produced in Shanghai have 5 layers of crown plus 2 layers of sidewall, while those produced in Shenyang have 4 layers of crown plus 1 layer of sidewall. 2. Identification of production location: To determine which Chinese factory a Michelin tire comes from, you can check the markings on the tire sidewall. If it is marked with the code Y5, it comes from the Shanghai factory, while if it is marked with 7V, it comes from the Shenyang factory. Generally, domestically produced Michelin tires in China use two layers of nylon thread in the sidewall, while those imported from Europe typically use one layer.
