Is Mr. Bib as fleet of foot as Goodyear?

Sept. 19, 2010

Tires -- and tire icons -- have been around for more than 100 years. Very few tire brands have lasted that long; even fewer tire icons have survived.

Two symbols, however, have stood the test of time on a global basis. Groupe Michelin's Michelin Man and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.'s Wingfoot.

Which is older? Which is more iconic? Find out by reading Modern Tire Dealer Editor Bob Ulrich's latest blog, "The last tire icons standing: the Michelin Man versus Wingfoot."
