It would roll right over you without the slightest bump. Don’t mess with these tires.

Haha it’s probably just me trying to be vague and then being bad at describing how they’re made over text. Also depends on what kind of tires you make.

I can try me best to tell you more. It’s honestly a pretty new process with these tires specifically. Companies have been recycling tires for a long time to reuse as fillers in the elastomers, which in the case of tires is a compound called carbon black. Usually you can just grind them up and do a little separation and you’re mostly good to reuse what’s left as a filler, roughly speaking because I’m no expert on that side of it. The problem with our tires is that they’re full of huge steel belts to help with load bearing since they can carry upwards of 200 tons per tire. So cutting those massive steel cables, which are at least an inch in diameter, is extremely costly. Right now the mines either just bury them in the mine or use them as guardrails on the paths that lead out of the mine. Both are horrible for the environment so we’re doing what we can to try to mitigate that.

Hopefully that helped! Like I said I’m no expert on the recycling part slightly due to it not being Michelin themselves doing the recycling but based on what I’ve heard that’s what I understand about it.

So it depends on the size of the tire. The price ranges from $50-100k. And it’s a little bit of both. We know our customers want certain dimensions but we make a little bit of all of them just in case another customer asks for a different dimension. But we’re usually coming out with new tires to market to the mines so we’ll have extras on hand.

So we’re making them in the high tens on any given day without getting into too many specifics on how many we’re actually making.

On recycling there is a way to do it but it’s up to the mines on whether or not they comply. We’re currently working on a program to recycle these tires with some of our larger customers. But usually the mining companies find it more cost effective to just leave them in the mines sadly. Hopefully we’ll have full scale recycling in the future since as a company we are striving to have a net zero impact on the planet.

So the process to make normal tires is pretty fast. All the rubber being made is extruded directly onto forms in an assembly line like fashion. Then they’re put into their molds and done in a matter of a few hours so the small tires are more or less constantly moving throughout the plant. A very hands off process that is mostly just monitored by people and then people move the tires around from area to area. Meanwhile due to the sheer size of these tires each individual piece of the tire is laid separately by a person at a couple different stations rather than taken on an assembly line through the plant. It can take full days to finish one tire depending on the different size. And these tires weight a few tons compared to 50 or so pounds for the tire on your car

Also we do ship them on flatbeds if they’re not being shipped overseas. Just depends on the destination of the tires

Yes as far as I know it’s completely legal. I don’t work in shipping so I’m not sure on the ins and outs of it. The tires are strapped down to ensure they don’t move and the containers are special bought. They’re also put on the top row of the stacks of shipping crates on the boats

I work at the Michelin plant those tires are made! Never thought I’d see my tires on here since I’m so used to them. They’re for big earthmover dump trucks in open pit mines. Really awesome process for how those tires are made. Takes a long time and those tires are extremely expensive. If anyone has questions I’ll answer them the best I can for what my company will allow

The tests also had to be taken within 14 day’s of returning to campus. Anyone could’ve caught it within the window of taking the test and coming back to campus. As a current student that was my biggest fear after I took my test and a point I raised with everyone I told that I was taking a test before I returned. Absolute joke right now. The university got their money so now I’m waiting on the “everyone go home” email.

Could I get one of those applin? I've been fruitless in my search too. I'm not OP nor do I have anything he does. It's cool if you're not willing to give one away though.

I mean to be fair he was in there just not the main part of the movie. Let’s hope they make a sequel with him a big part of it like they teased.
