Tyres
Michelin car tyres in Australia
When it comes to car tyres, Michelin is probably one of the most, if not the most recognisable brands in the industry. This is in no small part due to its universally recognised mascot, Bibendum, or as you might know him, the Michelin Man. Michelin is arguably the biggest of the three largest tyre manufacturers in the world, along with Bridgestone and Goodyear, and has a rich history. It was founded in 1889 and invented the radial tyre, which is the benchmark in tyre design today. Michelin has also branched off into other areas – its Michelin Star restaurant guide is met with much prestige and popularity every year. But tyres remain at Michelin’s core, so let’s see what’s on offer in Australia.
Is Michelin right for me?

From the budget-oriented Energy range, to the luxury, SUV Latitude range, Michelin is well-suited to providing tyres for all manner of driving needs. Its prices – while generally higher than much of the competition – are surprisingly good value as you often get a lot of features for the price, along with Michelin’s long-standing reputation in the industry. Michelin is a safe choice for a wide range of motorists, but as ever, it pays to shop around.
