Which country manufactures Michelin tires?
2 Answers
Michelin tires are produced by the French Michelin Group, a tire manufacturing company. Michelin tire maintenance includes: 1. Regular tire pressure checks; 2. Checking remaining tread depth; 3. Inspecting tire installation; 4. Paying attention to tire rotation; 5. Proper tire repair; 6. Tire alignment. The functions of tires are: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force through tires to achieve driving, braking, and steering operations of the vehicle; 2. Supporting vehicle loads; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impact forces during vehicle operation, avoiding severe vibrations that could damage vehicle components; 4. Ensuring driving safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel economy.
I frequently come across information about automotive parts, and Michelin's tire manufacturing is indeed highly diversified. The brand originated in France, founded in Clermont-Ferrand as early as 1889, but its factories are spread across the globe, including major bases in France itself, China (such as Shanghai and Shenyang), a plant in South Carolina, USA, the Rayong factory in Thailand, and production lines in India and Brazil. This global layout is designed to stay close to markets, shorten supply chain distances, reduce costs, and enhance delivery speed. I've visited several manufacturing plants, where the equipment is highly modernized, and they strictly adhere to globally unified quality standards, ensuring consistent and reliable products. Regardless of the production location, there's a strong emphasis on environmental protection and efficiency, reflecting the globalization characteristics of the automotive industry. This helps car owners focus more on tire models rather than their place of origin when selecting tires.
