  1. Who do you reckon? :smile:
     
  2. Lego group?
     
  3. Obvious answer that comes to mind is michelin , bridgestone ,dunlop.
    Must be a trick question of sorts so I am gonna shoot with continental?
     
  4. Cheng Shin ( Maxxis is just one of their brand names ) was the biggest tyre producer maybe ten years ago.
     
  5. Nah, it's Lego!!,
     
  6. Without cheating and Googling it.
    Isn't it some Chinese factory that badge engineers loads for the others?
     
  7. It's Lego or corgi. It's a trivial persuit question

  8. Nah, its still Lego. Easy peasy.
    ask me another.

    no horses were cooked or googles undertaken in the answering of this question.
     
  9. Is it a manufacturer of heavy plant tyres, they dont come much bigger than tyres on big quarry dumpers
     
  10. Not a bad guess then!
     
  11. if you had sex 365 times and melted all that rubber down what would you have? a effing goodyear.
     
  12. Depends on your definition of "biggest".

    Is it ...

    ......The size of the company, and how would you define that...turnover, working capital, number of employees, market capitalisation, earnings per share, footprint of manufacturing facilities and any number of other fiscal metrics?

    ......The size of the biggest tyre it produces, and is it the based on outer diameter, inner diameter, width, volume etc.?

    ......The volume of output (in pieces, I.e. Number of tyres made... or sold?)

    ......The volume of input (I.e. Cubic metres of raw materials consumed in the manufacture of the output... However that is defined)

    ......etc.

    Sorry, El T, but the question is poorly defined and constructed, and will obviously give rise to a variety of answers which may or may not answer in full or in part the question the you really wanted answered.
     
  13. It's Bridgestone, isn't it? Unless this is a trick question :tongue:
     
  14. Now I just want the answer to be Lego as its a way cooler answer :upyeah:
     
  15. And the correct answer is Lego. Allegedly. :smile:
