Michelin is the name of the famous French tire company. It is one of the largest tire manufacturers in the world and is known for its innovative tire technology and the Michelin Guide restaurant and hotel ratings.
Since 1988 BF Goodrich no longer makes tires. The name was sold to Michelin. All tires with the BF Goodrich name are manufactured by Michelin. Both Copper and Michelin make excellent tires. It all depends on the particular tire you buy.
