Michelin is in talks with the FIA about a possible return to Formula One after withdrawing from the sport at the end of 2006.
With Bridgestone pulling out as the sport's official sole supplier at the end of 2010, Michelin's Jean-Dominique Senard said formal discussions with the governing body were underway.
"We might consider returning but there are some very clear conditions," Senard said in an interview in Paris. He said the tyre rules need changing to "show the performance they can bring, notably in terms of fuel saving and CO2 reductions".
An FIA spokesman declined to comment.
