Michelin

Tyres are a car’s only contact with the road, and they make a big difference to grip, braking distance and steering feel. Michelin is one of the best-known tyre makers and produces tyres for everything from everyday cars and sports cars to motorcycles and off-road use. Here you’ll find Michelin tyres for drivers who want a tyre that matches exactly the way they drive.

A French tyre maker with deep roots in motorsport

Michelin is a French company headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand, founded by the brothers André and Édouard Michelin in 1889. The company has played a major part in the development of the modern tyre and is today one of the world’s largest tyre manufacturers. Michelin has a long history in motorsport, including endurance racing and motorcycle racing, and experience from the track feeds into the development of road and sports tyres. Many also know the brand for the Bibendum figure and the Michelin Guide.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right tyre size?

The size is printed on the sidewall of your current tyres, for example 245/40 R18, together with the load index and speed rating. Choose the same size or another size that suits your car. If in doubt, contact us with your car’s details.

Do new tyres need breaking in before they give full grip?

Yes, new tyres need a short break-in period before they deliver full grip. Drive gently for the first few hundred kilometres and avoid hard braking and heavy acceleration while the surface wears in.
