Michelin initiated almost every significant technical development in tyres. It turned the concept of the pneumatic tyre into a practical, production proposition and led the way in applying such concepts first to bicycles, then to motor cars and eventually trucks.

Michelin developed low-profile tubeless truck and light truck tyres (80, 75, 70 and 65 per cent aspect ratio). The move to low-profile has created space within the wheel rim for better brake cooling, an important factor as permitted weights and average speeds continue to increase.

Low-profile developments include the wide single radial which has increasingly replaced twin wheel and tyre units in trailer applications and more recently on drive axles.

Michelin highway radials provide a true No Compromise solution, providing long miles, excellent traction, low rolling resistance, and the comfort that has made them the driver's favourite.
