Michelin Truck Tire Service Manual
Michelin. It’s a name known around the world for high quality tires and technological innovation. Michelin has been earning that reputation for
more than a century now, making radial tires for almost every vehicle on the road — and in the air. Michelin® tires are designed, produced and
marketed by a worldwide work force of over 125,000 employees, with approximately 74 manufacturing plants. In North America, Michelin operates 21 plants in 17 locations and employs over 23,920 people.
QUALITY Michelin Truck Tire Service Manual
Before, during and after the manufacturing process, Michelin tires are processed and systems tested to ensure quality control. New methods of
testing are always being developed, to keep producing an outstanding product. Engineers in physics, chemistry, electronics and other fields use a wide range of materials and techniques. Electron microscopy, x-rays, holography, transmission and absorption spectography, highspeed photography, infrared thermograph testing and various other investigative techniques are used to study the tire and the tire-and-wheel-assembly interaction with the rest of the vehicle. Quality control goes beyond the laboratory to the production line itself. At each stage of the manufacturing process, from raw materials to finished product, production standards and requirements are constantly verified. Michelin’s North American facilities have grown considerably since the first plants opened in the early 1970s. Today, all plants incorporate Michelin’s latest technological developments and highly automated production processes. Testing plays an important role in assuring Michelin quality. That’s why Michelin operates the Laurens Proving Ground in South Carolina. Opened in 1976, the facility today includes a wide range of testing capabilities for all categories of tires. In addition, Michelin tires are fitted every day on various vehicles and machines and tested repeatedly on tracks, roads, highways and job sites around the world.
INTEGRITY
Because the tire is the vital contact between the driver and the road, Michelin is dedicated to providing customers with tires built for outstanding performance and dependability at low cost-permile. At Michelin, there is only one boss — the customer. It is the customer who judges the product and ultimately decides whether the company succeeds or fails. So Michelin puts its considerable technological strength into a full line of radial tires to meet customer needs.
