We’re holidaying in southern France for a couple of weeks.
Strolling around various towns, the differing tyre preferences of French motorists is very obvious. At home, it never ceases to amaze me how many people will spend a fortune on a premium motor, only to fit Chinese ditchfinders when the factory fit rubber wears out.
Over here, there are plenty of 20+ year old cars, still shod with four matching Michelin, Good Year or Continental tyres. Very few makes you’ve never heard of and it looks like Michelin have a very strong market share!
