Jack, are they making street tires or racing tires, or both?
We have nine Michelin plants in SC. They make everything from car tires to jet tires. What does your 777 have?
Michelin does have plants all over the world, including China.
I see trucks headed for the port at Charleston with just one or two giant earthmover tires per truck.
<<Michelin will invest $40 million in its existing Anderson County plant in Sandy Springs that manufactures various semi-finished products.
In Greenville County, Michelin plans to spend up to $90 million for new mold-production and a partial conversion to light-truck/ recreational tire production. Employment could rise by 100.
Plants in Lexington County would receive $60 million to increase passenger, light-truck tire and large-tire production, creating 100 to 300 new jobs.
Michelin expects to invest $30 million in its Spartanburg County locations to expand its truck tire production and retreading operations.>>
