Bibendum Tires

Michelin, aware of the concerns over tires detaching themselves, pursued the design of a rim with a well for only half its circumference. However as the well-base wheel proved its integrity and its design was refined the bibendum rim was discontinued.

Tire dimensions for these bibendum rims are predominantly given in metric terms rather than the more commonplace imperial measurements used for well-base wheels. It is dangerous to fit metric tires to imperial rims and imperial tires on metric rims as the sizes are not interchangeable.
