As the U.S. economy moves forward with robust GDP growth, questions arise about the true impact of the Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs on global trade and the tyre business in particular. While an apparent rebound from the contraction in the first quarter of 2025 potentially signals resilience, particularly in consumer spending, the tyre industry offers a sharper lens through which to examine these policies. Are tariffs achieving their intended effects, or are market dynamics – such as strategic price adjustments by tyremakers – blunting their impact? Insights from industry leaders and financial reports reveal a complex interplay, suggesting that businesses are adapting in ways that could reshape the tariff narrative.

Following our online previews and publication in the July edition of Tyres & Accessories magazine, here is the our complete coverage of last month’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, featuring interviews with Mathieu Bonardel, director of Michelin Motorsport and Serge Lafon, Michelin’s president of business line automotive OE.
The famed Le Mans endurance race sees dozens of cars across three categories race at speeds of up to 330 km/h non-stop for a whole day in-front of a live audience numbering around 300,000. Its spectacular, yes. But it is more than just a spectacle. Michelin’s motorsport endeavours – embodied by its unparalleled history of supporting victory at Le Mans – exemplify the so-called racetrack-to-road philosophy. However, in addition to outright performance gains – which are clearly the foundation of Michelin’s work in top-flight racing series and events like Le Mans – Michelin is also working to develop road-orientated sustainability benefits at the same time.
