HOW A MICHELIN MOTORSPORT TYRE IS MADE. Inside the factory.

[@KodiakCO]

I work at a tire plant. There is so much that was left out, I'm sure due to time and proprietary concerns. After curing there is a stage called final finish. That is where all tires are cleaned up from excess rubber and quality inspected. It's an amazing process to actually see.

[@duMaurier15]

What's the ticket for tire builders at your plant? Ticket is the term we use at our plant on how many tires a tire builder is expected to build in an 8 hour shift. Which is 175 - 228 depending on which tire.

[@KodiakCO]

@@duMaurier15 Unlike this video, the plant I work at is a mass production plant (2.5M sqr ft). They make passenger, truck and trailer tires. Its all done in stages. No one person builds a tire. The plant is rated at 40,000 units a day.

[@vikalpmaurya1415]

The smell. Of rubber at theese plants suck man

[@fryloc359]

I work in a tire factory also. Yes they left out a lot.

Far more Labor Intensive than I ever imagined. Thanks for taking the time to overview. Very informative in my opinion.

[@chaytonhumble5185]

Goodyear isn’t near as labor intensive. I build tires for a Goodyear in Lawton Oklahoma and it’s an easy job. The machine makes all the cuts and splices.

[@sasuke1212naruto]

nor is toyo tire. When operating a machine you can put out 300 quality tires in a 12 hour shift

[@OS10100]

People who cheap out on tires don't realize that they are gambling with their own safety. Just like the people who cheap out on brake pads/rotors. Spend the extra money and get good/reliable quality products. It will last longer and perform way better. You spend more intitally than bargain brands, but you save in the long run.

[@CaptainFALKEN]

People would rather spend money on weed rather than quality safety

[@wadetaylor9974]

Tire manufacturer cheep out when producing the tires that's why there's so many recalls and blowouts on the road today

[@Gr8thxAlot]

I inevitably run into bad weather and big storms on road trips, and I'll happily pay extra for a tire that gives me a 5% or 10% edge in safety. Good tires are well worth the money.

[@huojin01]

Definitely educational. I’ve been driving cars all my life and never knew how tires are made until now. Glad to know how they’re made. I’m sure you went through a lot of obstacles in order to produce this video. I’m aware that there exists extremists/activists who only want to exploit tires makers because of whatever they think is unfair and find it relieving that ya’ll were able to produce this video despite all that.

[@lockjawjak]

Absolutely facinating, it is amazing how much specilised equipment goes into the manufacture of something we take for granted like a tire!

[@evinsabberton73]

I dont think this much detail is put into your regular car tires. This factory only produces high end tires

All kinds of tires are made in this way

[@fryloc359]

Honestly all tires are labor intesive. In the facility where I work, tire builders make dozens of tires an hour, but I've been to places that make competition tires and they make 3 or 4 an hour.

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

So when tire manufacturers dont stagger the seams apart far enough that explains why lots of weights are needed in one spot.

[@fryloc359]

There is actually very little overlap in the seams. The thicker stuff is cut at an angle so the seams remain the same thickness.

[@paariraaju9688]

Wooow!!Michelin tyres are hand made with precession. Great 👍👍👍👍

[@StreetFXofficial]

Pretty incredible to see!

[@bellabeetleproductions_dogdad]

Those are low production motorsport tires, regular production tires are a lot less labour intensive with the machines doing more of the work.

[@crazedxfighter]

such cool tech that goes into a tire. so many of us overlook.

[@biealexanderhutauruk859]

How great u explain that process, thx a lot 🙏👍

[@ziggassedup]

Interesting tour.

[@Model_Student]

At 2:36, they’re applying the Bead Apex material, which helps transfer steering inputs from the bead through the tire. At 2:40, you’re indicating the wrong part of the tire. The Apex is the triangle-shaped bit that is immediately above the bead (between the fabric plies).

[@fryloc359]

I think the apex is applied at 1:40. At 2:36-2:40 he's already got the bead installed and the fabric flipped over.

[@claritoresdiano1021]

that's why michelin not cheap 👍.

[@DanneyTanner]

I just bought a new set of the Michelin Pilot sport 4 s for my Chvelle..But Im confussed with one of the tires that sent was made in Spain instead of France. The rubber is softer on the Spain tire and it don't have that smooth inner liner like the other 3 from France do.

[@fryloc359]

The texture on the inner liner is from the bladdder that's in the curing press, and not a difference in materials.

[@laurentmarie5580]

Très content des Michelin pilot sport cup 3 sur ma megane 3 rs... Pas donné certe... Mais la bête est préparée et sort 380 cv... Au pneu avant, pas au vilebrequin.

struggle to find the best possible 19-20 inch Summer tyres for my BMW 535i xDrive 2012. What I am absolutely sure is though, I do not want any RFT! There are 3 tyres in which I am interested (All w/o RFT) : PSS (*), PS4s (w/o *), Conti SC6 (w/o *) The only "Star-Tyre" without RFT is the Michelin Pilot Super sport. Do you recommend buying older-generation tyres WITH * or newer Generation WITHOUT * ??? Thank you

You just wonder if all the tyres are done equally. A lot of of human work cutting up materials on to the tyre. Staff may have higher skill levels than others

[@temgmcks00]

As someone who builds tires I can tell you that they are not all equal. I constantly see the different levels of care and craftsmanship that go into the tires that are built. You can tell the difference in the people who care about what they are doing and the people that are just there to get a paycheck. The downside is that I don’t get to see how those differences affect the life or performance of the tires in real life.
