Michelin Reviews

OK a very quick history lesson first. Two brothers, Édouard and Andre Michelin, had this rubber factory in France. One day, a cyclist with a punctured pneumatic tyre arrived at the factory. His tyre was glued onto the rim, and It took over three hours to remove it, then repair the tyre, which then had to be left overnight to dry. The next day, ...  Read the complete review

I will begin by saying that however much of a motoring enthusiast you are - or you are not, if you are a driver, then the four rubber bands between you and the road surface are, in terms of safety, the most important component on your whole car.

Car: MG ZT 1.8 Turbo Tyre: Michelin Pilot Sports 225/45R 18inch For any of you that have read my review of my life with the MG, you may be surprised to learn that the two of us are still together after two and a half years.

I have had Michelin tyres on my past 3 cars and to be honest, I think they are ok, but they quite often look like they need a bit of air in them. The French car manufacturers all use Michelin on their new cars, perhaps because Michelin is a French company.

Over the years, I reckon I have had most makes and brands attached to my car. From this I have been able to be more picky and choosey when buying my new tyres. I now know whats good, whats bad and what is worth avoiding. Michelin boast being one of the 2 tyre suppliers to the Formula 1 world championship. Yet it fails to pass its ...  Read the complete review

There is a company in Hampshire called Micheldever Tyres (tel no. 01962-774437 .) I have used them before to buy Michelin Sport tyres and they were considerably cheaper than any other tyre supplier that I know. It is worth me searching around for my car tyres as they are £203 per tyre at Kwik Fit and £157.5 at ATS, whereas at Micheldever they ...  Read the complete review
