This Michelin tire poster exploits the products association with racing cars, always the most grueling test for tire durability. In a dynamic scene, the Panhard cabriolet barrels down the road--on Michelin tires, of course--after outpacing a speedy train. As the text describes, Health beat the fastest train in the world over a 600 km stretch by 30 minutes. This is the larger format.
