[The tyre manufacturer has confirmed it will shut down the Tayside plant by mid-2020.
The factory was opened in 1971 and makes, exclusively, 16-inch and smaller tyres for cars.
Michelin said the plant had been rendered unsuitable due to changes in demand and competition from cheap products from Asia.]
