It is weird when you think about it.
Yeah. I always assumed the name Michelin was just a coincidence. I was incredulous when I found out that it's the same company. Genuinely weird thing for a tire company to do.
Michelin also edited road maps and built milestones to help early time drivers find there way on the roads !
