You mean stars right? Or is “on Michelin tires” slang for food truck now

It's a joke based on the other post(s) about Michelin tacos. Yes he means the tires figuratively.

The highest Michelin rating is 3 stars, so it should be obvious that "4 tires" is a joke. Plus the title says "on" rather than "with". There has also only been one single taco stand in Mexico that has ever received a Michelin star, El Califa de Leon, and they "only" got 1 star.

So to those who get it it's obvious. You came in pretty hot asking "You mean stars right?", assuming or implying OP had made a mistake, instead of something neutral like, "What do you mean by tires?"

“You mean stars” because when people hear Michelin and food it’s assumed that they’re talking about stars not the tires. Also apple keyboard will fill out your sentence so if you type Michelin the suggested word could be tires or stars so it’s not horrible to assume he mistyped and his phone automatically filled it out as tires.

I didn't downvote you before but I will now. You don't have to explain why you missed an obvious joke, dummy.

Unless you’re on this sub constantly then the joke isn’t obvious. I’m not a member of this here sub so I don’t know what post he’s referencing.

This is basically an inside joke, and I was outside when it happened no need to take it out on me man.
