Kleber is a French tyre company owned by the Michelin Group. It produces tyres for passenger vehicles, SUVs, and agricultural machinery.
History
Kleber was founded in 1910 as Société Française B.F. Goodrich, a French subsidiary of the American tyre manufacturer BF Goodrich.[1]
In 1945, the company moved its headquarters to Avenue Kléber in Paris and adopted the name Kléber-Colombes. In 1951, Kleber introduced the first tyre with an integral inner tube.[1] The company was acquired by Michelin in 1981.[2]
In 1981, Kleber tyres were notably used by rally driver Michèle Mouton, who finished runner-up in the 1981 World Rally Championship.[3]
