L'entreprise assure aussi la distribution de pneumatiques Euromaster en Europe et TCI aux États-Unis.

Michelin détient aussi des records de production des plus gros pneumatiques du monde. En 1999, l'entreprise a développé le premier pneu de plus de 2,05 mètres de diamètre; puis, en 2006, un pneu de 2,15 mètres de diamètre. En 2002, elle commence à tester, en situation réelle, le 59/80R63, qui équipe les tombereaux géants Caterpillar 797B d'excavation minière en Australie. Pesant cinq tonnes, gonflé à 6,5 bars de pression, et mesurant quatre mètres de diamètre pour 1,48 m de largeur, son coût est de 30 000 euros l'unité. Plus récemment, en octobre 2013, la firme sort le plus gros pneu agricole au monde, mesurant 2,32 mètres de hauteur pour 900 mm de largeur : l'AxioBib IF 900.

Au bord des routes françaises, on trouve encore des panneaux Michelin en lave émaillée sur un support en béton armé, produits entre 1910 et 1971.
