There are three ways to check whether Michelin tires are fake:

1. Regularly sold Michelin tires have a certificate of compliance on the tire label. There is a silver coating on the certificate. You can scratch off the coating according to the instructions to find the anti-counterfeiting code, and then enter the anti-counterfeiting code through the website to check the authenticity: /home (Michelin genuine tire verification platform).

2. You can identify the quality of tires by observing the pattern color and gloss of the tires: From the texture point of view, under normal circumstances, due to the irregular processing of inferior retread tires, the grooves are relatively shallow. In terms of color, inferior retreaded tires look bright and shiny, while regular ones are relatively dark. The color and luster of retreaded tires are dull.

3. In addition to the production date, there are tires on the market that are smuggled (directly installed on wheels for transit) or used to replace old tires with new ones. When purchasing, we must also pay attention to the markings on the tread. Generally, tires over 15 inches have markings. After a tire is used for several kilometers, the markings will be worn away, so this can be used as a basis when distinguishing new and old tires.

Extended information:

Michelin was founded in Clermont-Ferrand, France in 1889. For more than 100 years, Michelin has experienced continuous innovation and development. It now has business operations on five continents in the world and R&D centers in Europe, North America and Asia.

Michelin tires market their products in more than 170 countries around the world. Michelin has 113,529 employees, 69 manufacturing plants and 2 rubber plantations worldwide. It produces 190 million tires and 17 million maps and guides annually.

The design of the Michelin tire logo is somewhat similar to an Egyptian mummy. Although it does not incorporate too much texture effect into the design, the Michelin mascot on the front is in sharp contrast with the capital "MICHELIN" surrounded by squares on the back. Coupled with the pure technological blue background design, Michelin’s technological sense is further highlighted.
