Why Michelin’s Closing a Mexico Plant

Heads up if you’re a car owner or tire shopper: Michelin is shutting down its older factory in Queretaro, Mexico, because it just can’t keep up with today’s trend for bigger tires. Basically, more folks are rolling on SUVs and trucks with chunky wheels, so small-tire production is out. The newer, high-tech plant in Leon will keep making those big tires. If you’re shopping for tires, expect more focus on larger sizes—and maybe fewer deals on smaller ones. #Michelin #TireTrends #CarLife #Business
