    just found out

    Cooper own Avon tyres
    Michelin own Kleber tyres

    Not sure what you this tells you...

    (a) Kleber tyres are Michelin in disguise ?
    (b) Michelin can make money selling tyres to people who are too tight to buy Michelin ?
    (c) Michelin can sell cheaper tyres without 'devalueing' the Michelin brand

    It could be any (or all) of the above plus a lot of other reasons... you have to draw your own conclusions as to what the ownership says about the product.

    A division of Nokia used to make the best snow tyre in the world - but they're rubbish for calling your mum with.;)

    BTW Michelin also own the tyre manufacturing portion of BFGoodrich, a tyre on which I've driven the last quarter of a million miles.
