Michelin presence in the agriculture business started before World War Two.

• 1933: First tires for tractors tested
  
  
• 1947: Michelin introduces the Labour, a bias farm tire, to the European market
  
  
• 1966: Launch of the BibaGrip, a tire for the front wheels of tractors for row crop work, which can be fitted as single or duals
  
  
• 1976: Launch of the X'Bib, Michelin's first radial tire for agricultural machines.
  
  
• 1984: Launch of the X27 Large Volume, a standard tread R1 flotation radial for combines and tractors
  
  
• 1988: Launch of the XM28™, a deep tread R1W flotation radial for combines and tractors
  
  
• 1989: Launch of the XM108™ TL, a low profile tire which enables farmers to gain up to 20% larger footprint and 30% lower ground pressure as compared to standard profile radials
  
  
• 1992: Launch of the XM47™ high speed, which can travel at speeds up to 55 mph
  
  
• 1995. Launch of the Agribib®, a standard profile R1W deep lug radial for all-around service
  
  
• 1997: Michelin Agricultural Tires starts its North American operations
  
  
• 1998: Launch of the MegaXBib®, the largest agricultural tire in the world, It greatly reduces soil compaction
  
  
• 2001: Launch of the MachXBib®, a high-floatation R1+ radial for high horsepower tractors
  
  
• 2001: Launch of the XM37® Industrial, engineered for use on backhoes and material handling machines
  
  
• 2002: Michelin tires help set new world record in plowing. A tractor fitted
  with MachXbib® tires and trailing a plower fitted with CargoXBib® tires plowed a surface of over 620 acres, the equivalent of 370 football fields, in 24 hours
  
  
• 2002: Certain MegaXBib® tires are now available for Terra-Gator machines. The reliability and the productivity of the MegaXBib® and Terra-Gator allow them to work well together in almost any field.
  
  
• 2003: Michelin wins the 2003 Gold Medal for Innovation. Michelin introduced the latest tire innovation called Ultraflex Technology™ at the Agritechnica Show in Germany. This technology has been built into the Xeobib™ tire, the first tire able to run at less than 14 psi, in the field and on the road, regardless of speed.
  
  
• 2006: The Michelin Axiobib™ tire with Ultraflex Technology is introduced on the new Challenger MT975B tractor at the Farm Machinery Show, held in Louisville, KY during February. The Ultraflex™ Technology incorporated into the Axiobib™ allows farmers to carry the same load at 20% lower pressures, which reduces soil compaction and provides a much larger footprint than even the Michelin MachXBib, our current large volume tire.
