As a French brand, Michelin Tyres has a global production network with manufacturing bases in multiple countries including China. In China, Michelin operates two factories in Shanghai and Shenyang, producing tyres marked with Y5 and 7V codes respectively. Other major global production locations include France, Japan, Spain, the United States, and Thailand. For example, tyres produced in Europe use a single layer of nylon thread on the sidewall, while those made in China often use double layers to enhance adaptability. Through its global layout, Michelin ensures that product performance is highly matched to local driving conditions. Products from its Chinese factories also feature the brand's core technologies, such as the quiet and comfortable characteristics of the Primacy series or the enhanced handling design of the HP series. Consumers can identify the origin through the sidewall markings, and It is best to replace tyres every four years to ensure driving safety. When purchasing, attention should be paid to the production date to avoid stock items that are more than three years old.
