From tyre to tyre – Enviro extends Michelin collaboration

,

A collaboration between Michelin and Scandinavian Enviro Systems (Enviro) will see recycled raw materials from end-of-life racing tyres go into the production of new tyres, including race tyres. Enviro uses a pyrolysis procedure to extract carbon black, oil and other materials from used tyres, and since the start of the year has trialled the recycling of Michelin’s racing tyres at its facility in Åsensbruk, Sweden. It aims to gradually introduce the recycling of Michelin’s racing tires during 2026.

Michelin adds 445/95 R25 size to X-Crane 2 line-up

Following an initial 445/75 R 2.5 size launched with mobile crane manufacturer Spierings in summer 2024, Michelin is launching its Michelin X-Crane 2 in a new size, 445/95 R25. Designed for mobile and all-terrain cranes that see use on- and off-road and boasting over ten years of expertise from Michelin specialists and industry leaders, X-Crane 2 combines a civil engineering casing with a truck tyre tread.

Q1 2025 OE decline pushes down Michelin sales, volumes

Admist a “highly volatile environment shaped by geopolitical and macro-economic uncertainties,” the Michelin Group has reported consolidated sales of €6.515 billion for the first quarter of 2025, a 1.9 per cent year-on-year decline driven by lower original equipment volumes. This decline in the OE business across all segments also contributed to overall sales volumes falling by 7.3 per cent year-on-year, but Michelin benefited from a strong 4.8 per cent positive price-mix effect.

New Pirelli P Zero PZ5 wins performance tyre test in stunning debut

A new performance tyre test by Tyre Reviews has made the new fifth-generation Pirelli P Zero PZ5 its highest recommendation, edging out the Continental SportContact 7, a perennial winner in the three years since its launch. The test endorses Pirelli’s claim that the fifth-generation product has added all-round capabilities to the PZ4’s specialism in handling, with additional wet grip, braking stability, and others. In addition to the Conti ultra-ultra-high performance (UUHP) product, Tyre Reviews tested premium contenders that have been among the best tyres in the segment for several years in the Bridgestone Potenza Sport, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S. The test also looked at the Falken Azenis FK520, the latest in a line of tyres that has seen the Sumitomo brand compete with the legacy premium brands, and the budget Sunny NA305. All tyres were tested on a VW Golf GTI mk8 in size 225/40 R18 92 Y.

Global tyremaker shares slide for second day, this time Goodyear too

,

While yesterday, Goodyear’s double-digit share price increase was one of the very few examples of good news across the US stock markets, today the USA-based tyremaker has joined the rest of the global premium tyre manufacturing community in witnessing their stock prices slide. The primary cause was President Donald Trump’s wide-ranging tariff announcement[s]. And the secondary cause of Goodyear’s good fortunes was a pre-tariff-announcement confidence boost published by financial analysts.

The Sierra Morena Rally is set on the regions winding tarmac roads, with 82 crews on the entry list.

Goodyear stock gets Trump-tariff bounce, non-US tyremakers down

,
(Source: Google Finance)

President Trump has said for months that he will introduce swingeing tariffs in a bid to restore the economic fortunes of the United States of America. A large part of the rationale behind the tariffs is his strategy of supporting US manufacturing. If that is the case, Goodyear has benefitted too with its shares up as much as 14 per cent when trading opened on the morning of 3 April, before falling slightly afterwards. Whatever figure Goodyear stock closes at, it looks likely to be up in the double-digit or high single-digit range. And that stands in stark contrast to the rest of the top five global tyremakers, all of which were down single-digit percentages following the official announcement of Trump’s tariffs.

Michelin relocates UK headquarters to Keele University Science and Innovation Park

,
Michelin’s new UK headquarters is located in the IC2 development at Keele University’s award-winning Science and Innovation Park. (l-r) Ann Pittard, director of engagement and partnerships and director of Keele University Science & Innovation Park; John Howe, managing director of Michelin in the UK and Ireland; Professor Trevor McMillan OBE, vice-chancellor of Keele UniversityMichelin

Michelin is relocating its UK headquarters, comprising its UK commerce and group services teams. The world’s largest tyre manufacturer is exiting its Riverside complex on Campbell Road in Stoke-on-Trent this month, with employees accommodated on Keele University’s award-winning Science and Innovation Park, around five miles to the west. The move sees the manufacturer take up residence in specially converted offices on a 600-acre park currently containing more than 50 companies ranging from multinationals to start-ups, and around 1,000 employees. Michelin says the move to the IC2 development at the site will provide “an enhanced workplace for staff” and boost the sustainability of its UK operations. Michelin confirmed to Tyrepress that there are “no implications for jobs” as a result of the move, while staff supporting its advanced retreading plant and its logistics and training centre will remain at the company’s manufacturing site on Campbell Road.
