摘要

The global original equipment and replacement passenger car and light truck tire market grew by 3% in number of tires sold in the first half of 2017, according to Groupe Michelin's analysis. The market rose by 5% in the first quarter, driven by purchases ahead of the price hikes announced by most manufacturers, and by 1% in the second quarter. In North America, demand for OE tires continued to show signs of slowing, with a 1% decline in the second quarter following a 2% increase in the first.
