PARIS, April 26 (Reuters) - French tyre maker Michelin posted almost flat first-quarter sales on Tuesday, reflecting slowing demand in Europe and a tough year-on-year comparison.
Michelin said it made sales of 3.6 billion euros in the first three months of 2005, down 0.2 percent from the year-ago period.
A Reuters poll of 9 analysts had forecast, on average, sales of 3.691 billion euros.
