Michelin Tires Reliability

The Michelin name has been synonymous with quality tires since 1889, when two french brothers in charge of a rubber factory branched into crafting tires for bicycles, and later, automobiles. The Michelin brothers were so focused on quality that, upon later creating a travel guide for customers of Michelin tires, they laid the groundwork for the famous Michelin star rating for fine dining restaurants worldwide. Today, that same focus on quality takes advantage of every thrilling curve in the road, each challenging snowstorm, and makes daily driving a true pleasure across the country.

The Best Selling Tire for a Reason

The company's tires enjoy an unprecedented "bragging right" - they're the top selling tire brand across the entire globe. That means more vehicles in more countries trust Michelin than any other brand. From the support beneath trucks that transport food and goods cross-country to the landing gear tucked inside the planes flying overhead, Michelin quality keeps products, passengers, and companies safe no matter how far they're traveling. While part of that assurance comes from the quality infused in their material choices and worldwide manufacturing processes, a lot of it rests on research and development, as well. While Michelin offers a large spectrum of products, BB Wheels offers most consumer lines that range from all terrain off-road, high performance, highway, all season, snow/winter, high mileage, and more!

A Circle of Innovation

If it's an invention that forever changed the face (or, perhaps more accurately, the outer edge) of tires, chances are it came from Michelin's efforts in research and development. Not only did the company invent the "run flat" puncture-resistant tire in 1934, they also created what is arguably the biggest innovation in tires since their creation: radial tires. By arranging the "plies" that give the tire strength and structure in a different pattern, the result was a tire that could better handle turns and offered a smoother, softer ride. That tire structure demanded a need for more precise controlling, and shaped the invention and growth of the modern-day power steering assembly.

Today, the company isn't resting on their rubberized laurels: they're working on inventions like an airless tire created via 3-dimensional printing techniques. Inventions like these will ensure that tire technology is on par with the customized demands of modern vehicles. Once the technique is perfected, these intriguing-looking car tires may even factor in to self-driving vehicles and automated maintenance in the future.

Standing by Their Product

While most people think of rolling when they envision tires, Michelin stands by each and every tire they produce. Their revolutionary tire warranty is proof that they care about their many customers. For up to 3 years after purchasing Michelin tires from an approved dealer, the company offers a comprehensive protection package through their roadside assistance.

That means that if your spare needs changing out, or even if you simply run out of gas, you can count on Michelin to send help your way. If they can't fix the issue, or your trusty spare isn't holding air, they'll even tow your car up to 150 miles to the nearest Michelin service center. Their tires are undeniably trustworthy and reliable, but their commitment to their customers is even stronger than their treads. That peace of mind is also why many consumers pick Michelin when outfitting a loved one's car, as well: if they can't be there during a driving emergency, they know that Michelin will.

The Cost-Saving Route

In addition to safety, one of the biggest consumer concerns revolves around an ever-present issue in driving: fuel economy. The attention to detail and premium construction have long made Michelin a standout in the automobile industry, but it's models like the Michelin Energy Saver A/S that lead the pack. The tread compound itself is made with new materials like silica that better stand up to wear and tear while the asymmetrical patterning ensures better responsiveness and braking ability for improved handling. When paired with a hybrid engine or other fuel-efficient car, these tires have the ability to save the driver up to 8% in fuel costs over the life of the tire. That's no small feat for drivers tied to a daily commute

A Family of Brands

While their own internal drive to better designs would be more than enough to keep this legendary tire company on top, they've expanded their brand profile to incorporate a variety of experience and R&D breakthroughs. The Michelin company also owns and operates well-known automobile tire brands BF Goodrich and Uniroyal, as well as a substantial handful of others in countries outside of the United States. This approach delivers different perspectives and research paths for making an already great tire product even better. Additionally, this allows the company to offer their well-known superior quality at a variety of price points for every consumer.

Why Choose Michelin Tires?

While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends total tire replacement every six years regardless of wear, there are a lot of miles between installation and replacement. Driving those miles shouldn't feel like a gamble when you need to stop suddenly, or end up taking a curve faster than intended. The right tires protect the safety and well-being of a car's occupants by avoiding collisions, and ensure a smooth ride no matter what roads you may be traveling on. With all that in mind, it makes sense to pick the best - you wouldn't choose a lumpy mattress to sleep on for six years, or choose clothes that you know will fall apart well before they need replacement.

Choosing Michelin tires ensures that you'll never have to wonder if you'll be stranded on the side of the road with a flat, or worry over your tread wearing down before it’s time for a replacement. A company backed by more than 100 years of innovation and attention to detail, Michelin automobile tires, ATV tires, motorcycle tires, and more have been the choice of discerning drivers for more than a century. Make the right choice for your vehicle and your lifestyle - the next time you're replacing or upgrading your wheels and tires, just say the magic words: "Michelin, please!"
