It was in 2002 that Edouard Michelin articulated the mission of the North American tire manufacturing business with impressive eloquence, while truly encapsulating the driving force behind the business for so many years. Mr. Michelin stated, ‘We have one profession and one mission: contribute to long-term progress in the field of mobility.’
The statement itself could at first glance appear slightly overly dramatic, until one considers, not only the importance of the field that Michelin Tires works within, but also the work and the advances the business has made.
Michelin Tires does research and development, production and sales in the different areas of: motorcycles, trucks, heavy-duty construction equipment, agricultural machines, aircrafts and, of course, cars. This is fairly a list for a business that has much more public awareness dedicated to a plump albino than for putting years of innovation to ensure that airplanes can land safely or that farmers can operate much more efficiently to ultimately put food on the tables of countless families.
So, since 1889 the makers of Michelin Tires, the Michelin Group, has quietly gone about the company of making the lives of people everywhere better and safer. And with such a high commitment of research and continued innovation, it appears that we can rest assured that we’ll continue to be able to live safer for years to come.

i have a 06 sonata w p225/50r17 michelin pilots tires on them. whats the proper psi?
the sidewall says 30psi but even at 32 psi the tires look truly low. any assist?
but usually heard to go by what it says on the driverside door?
Answer
They ought to be 44 or 51 PSI max. The 93V will be 44 and the 94V will be 51. I usually run the front at max and the rear -5 PSI, they will deal with the greatest and last the longest that way. It will say the pressure on the tire somewhere, usually in very small print.

If you have the exact tire on the car that came on it when it was new then you can do that. Every tire manufacturer makes different tires with different pressure requirements so once you change the tire you ought to go by what the tire says.
