✅ Trivia Answer
C) To sell more tires by encouraging people to drive
The Michelin Guide began in 1900 as a clever marketing idea by André and Édouard Michelin to get people driving more—and buying more tires. It started as a free road guide with maps and travel tips. The star ratings didn’t arrive until 1926! 🚗⭐
