Tyres used to be white because they’re made of rubber and carbon was added later to make it black and stabilise the rubber and whatever else they mix together to make good tyres

I very briefly worked for Michelin many moons ago (about 17 years ago). I did enjoy it but not the apprentice pay. Big love for Bibendum.

They’re a relatively big employer in my home city :slight_smile:

Ahh really? I see what they did indeed with the headline too…

I worked at the one in Stoke-on-Trent, which is the re-tred factory; I learnt that tyres exploding is incredibly loud and lorry tyres are huge…

Yes, it’s Michelin’s side-hustle.

Dunlop on the other hand produce cheap wellies for theirs.
