Goodyear vs. Michelin Tyres

Michelin and Michelin are currently two of the best tyre brands in the world.

If this were the Olympics of tyre manufacturers, both are Gold medal winners - or at least we hope so!

Both brands have been significant players in the history of not just tyre development but of the entire automotive industry in general.

Each company manufactures a wide range of tyre models that will match most driver requirements, vehicle type, weather and terrain conditions.

So what makes each brand special? Let's break down each option so you can make an informed choice.

Michelin: A Better Way Forward

Michelin began its journey towards total tyre domination in France in 1889.

It makes a wide range of tyres for all vehicle types: passenger cars, luxury rides, sports cars and even motorcycles and bicycles.

However, they also have a rich motorsports heritage, most notably in Le Mans, F1, MotoGP and Rally racing, supplying tyres for hundreds of winners over the last 100 years.

Michelin tyres promise durability, safety and optimal performance and quiet and comfort. Tyroola has an extensive catalogue of Michelin tyres available and one of their best selling tyres, the Michelin Latitude Cross Premium SUV Tyres have impressed customers with its wet weather grip and durability.

Michelin is also a trusted original equipment supplier for car manufacturers Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, Audi and Mercedes-Benz and more, proving that the quality of each tyre is so exceptional these car brands have given their trust to Michelin.
