LISTEN: World’s Largest Tire Manufacturer Turns to Recycled Materials
•
Eric Sorensen
Although it doesn’t compete directly with major manufacturers like Michelin, Bridgestone and Goodyear, LEGO is still the world’s largest tire maker. At least in terms of volume, not size.
According to Guinness World Records, LEGO has been pumping out about 306 million rubber tires each year since 2006. The company peaked in 2010 when the total reached 381 million tires, way more than the nearly 200 million tires Michelin produced in 2024.
