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.
Race tires are made like this , passenger car tires are made a little faster . Would be nice if the plant I worked at would move to VMI Maxx . Those will make a tire in seconds
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@evinsabberton73 its the same procedure for almost all kinds of tyres.. After theese tyres are made they even go throught defect checks like xray scanning etc
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.
Thanks for posting this and no the background music is not too loud. Some people do not like background music, but the level on this video is fine. I almost didn’t watch the video because of seeing some comments then after watching had to comment that the comments about the music are really not necessary. I hope you continue making videos like this. I really enjoy the technical information and the music was fine.
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).
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.
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
It's very important and powerful idea , without air I mean airless tyres are making is very good , the rubber coatings are made by overlapping then there is no puncture problems this idea is good or bad? Tell me pls
Why is the plastic wrapping left on the blocks of rubber at start of processing? Does teh plastic melt and be absorbed? I'd think big pieces of plastic might cause separation or chunking?
can someone tell me what a 'Rough Bag' is? discovered Michelin on my scanner recently and sometimes you might hear someone say they have a rough bag on 214, or on 305 etc.
How can a tyre manage too much friction on road? Even we get hurt when we walk on road with naked legs on a very slow speed as compared to tyres of a car.
Will tyres fit on an American vehicle ? Or must you buy tires for them ? Also, is it considered proper to put tires on say, an Aston Martin or a Range Rover instead of the tyres it came with ? I am assuming Australian vehicles also use tyres as well. And then there is the question of Japanese and Korean vehicles. Inquiring minds want to know !
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. J'ai essayé du pneu moins cher, ça tient pas la route... Et ça part en copeaux au bout de même pas 2000 kilomètres. Les seuls pneu équivalent en qualité sont les toyo.

Michelin, if you're reading please make your Pilot Sport 4S available in the big sizes like the Mustang GT350. Those Cup 2 Tyres don't last for anything.
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
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.
@@stewartgrindlay9760 these are the tires I build. It’s a pretty fascinating process to see! Similar to a car tire, but far more complex due to the size! ruclips.net/video/0nBAT-B6W1I/видео.html
@@temgmcks00 does look fascinating. Used to have a Michelin car tyre factory here in NI. My dad used to work in it back in 1970s and he always said never stray from Michelin no matter the cost

Far more Labor Intensive than I ever imagined. Thanks for taking the time to overview. Very informative in my opinion.
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.
nor is toyo tire. When operating a machine you can put out 300 quality tires in a 12 hour shift
Probably why Michelin are the kings

The smell. Of rubber at theese plants suck man
I work in a tire factory also. Yes they left out a lot.
@@vikalpmaurya1415 I didn't mind the smell that much. But it is _very_ distinctive.

People would rather spend money on weed rather than quality safety
Tire manufacturer cheep out when producing the tires that's why there's so many recalls and blowouts on the road today
you should know ,that not always more expensive does mean better quality
@@AleksTheLittleOne Its not about the price. It's about trusted brands vs cheap knockoffs.

Absolutely facinating, it is amazing how much specilised equipment goes into the manufacture of something we take for granted like a tire!
I dont think this much detail is put into your regular car tires.
This factory only produces high end tires
Doood, you take tires for granted who are you... Warren, Bill, Jeff, Dangote or Shatta Bandu? 😄
@@evinsabberton73 My son works for Michelin, and yes, that amount of detail goes into all of their tires. That's why they are the best.

Michelin; my favorite tire/restaurant rating company.
Me too🥰
Dued is so familiar with his work he doesn't even need a laser marker to make precision cuts.
Yes your correct,,this was my job for over 20 years
Awesome Video 👍 buddy...... One of the best Tyres company Michelin
Didn’t realize how manpower intensive making high end tires are
All kinds of tires are made in this way
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.
Only Michelin and other top brands, Chinese tires not so much.
Oh you havent seen the maintenance team do some work yet 😅
The smell of new tires on your car is so cool.
I will never look at tyres the same after watching this.

Thanks mate :) appreciate the feedback!
Feels So good that my money is well spent on quality tires, this video is an eye opener.😆😁
The amount of work and pride that goes into them is incredible. Had no idea until we saw it with our own eyes.
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).
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.
I am Michelin employee proudly saying. Best Quality tyre in the market
Where ??? I was too
BFG here, but my paychecks say Michelin North America.
such cool tech that goes into a tire. so many of us overlook.
So when tire manufacturers dont stagger the seams apart far enough that explains why lots of weights are needed in one spot.
There is actually very little overlap in the seams. The thicker stuff is cut at an angle so the seams remain the same thickness.
sweet, how does goodyear build tires? thanks...:)
A lot faster and more automotive than that. My plant builds 60,000 tires every 24 hrs
So much work, wow. Now wonder they’re expensive !
Wooow!!Michelin tyres are hand made with precession. Great 👍👍👍👍
Pretty incredible to see!
Those are low production motorsport tires, regular production tires are a lot less labour intensive with the machines doing more of the work.
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.
The texture on the inner liner is from the bladdder that's in the curing press, and not a difference in materials.

that's why michelin not cheap 👍.
Michelin is cheap and long-lasting. Have you ever heard of Pirelli and Metzelers? They are expensive and good quality my friend.
@@kannankichu1997 yes i know that but it's only for your region not for us
Buggati used michelin tires to break the world record and they did it
Bravo ótimo vídeo trabalho gualidade total bazuka Foz do Iguaçu pr Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷
How great u explain that process, thx a lot 🙏👍
i was suprised at how much is done by hand one tire at a time. ,
Interesting tour.
It's very important and powerful idea , without air I mean airless tyres are making is very good , the rubber coatings are made by overlapping then there is no puncture problems this idea is good or bad? Tell me pls
Thank you for your sharing ❤️
Wow.................Hi-Technology for Production line of Michelin factory. Thank you .
Why is the plastic wrapping left on the blocks of rubber at start of processing?
Does teh plastic melt and be absorbed?
I'd think big pieces of plastic might cause separation or chunking?
It's been explained to me that the plastic is made of materials and chemicals that are wanted in the rubber
@@fryloc359 thanks. I'v not heard that.
never had a Michelin tire..do they dry rot after 10 months like goodyear?
Wow. This was pretty cool
Great work great and skillfull
I work in the area they make the textile rubber. You'd be surprised how much goes into it
can someone tell me what a 'Rough Bag' is? discovered Michelin on my scanner recently and sometimes you might hear someone say they have a rough bag on 214, or on 305 etc.
then people don't complain why michellin and other tyre was expensive :D
I love
Manufacturing
Litar Sepang Malaysia?
Yep sepang!
@@StreetFXofficial should test on sunny day 😅
Can you calculte the tire size
Are most consumer tires hand made like this????
No, only the top end motorsport stuff. Unsure if other brands go to this amount of effort or if it's limited to Michelin.
Street FX Motorsport TV thanks for the video 🙏
Pretty much yes. Where I work we automate some of the things they do by hand, but laying down each layer and cutting to length is still done by hand.
Where the co. Situation/ country. Nc Is it radial tyre??
what kind of tirers are this radial or bias
How much this small factory ?
RFID chips in tires? why? DOT stamp gives info .....
Testing track was in Sepang Malaysia... 😊😊
Great track!
Very good success always.. 👍
How can a tyre manage too much friction on road?
Even we get hurt when we walk on road with naked legs on a very slow speed as compared to tyres of a car.
I like bridgestone..👍
What they don't show you are all the machines that make the components of the tire.
80/90 fornt and 90/80 rear is perfect combination for 14?
Sorry?
Well done!!!

Looks like special tire that should cost 1k $
One of the few videos showing more detail. The steel belt isn’t shown ….just a mention
Now I know why my Bridgestone re71r tires cost as much as they do.

It takes forever to manufacture... But a few seconds to get used .those bastards who drift 😂😂😂😂
We do this process at toyo in 2 min lol
I call that "Job security"
@@dillanphillips1774 Yeah it doesn't take as long as they show. We automate some of the stuff they do by hand.
That's ONE tire... After seeing this, buying four isn't all that expensive. Running MPS4S
Yeah I'm pretty sure MPS4S are not made here but at an automated factory ;-)
@@Tomskii5 I never said they were made here...

I see motocross tyres too!
Yeah it's cool...Dunlop is what most teams run in SX(USA)and they have several vids on how they're made. Moto GP would be cool too.
1000 competition tires made every day by hands... so technically every competition tire is different from one another, and yet, super expensive
Welp! michelin’s stock will raise up now
:P
Sepang test 👍👍👍
