At the request of many classic car owners, seeking tires that combine grip, long life and elegance, Michelin Classic is now offering 10 dimensions with white walls or trim, that can be fitted to many prestigious or popular classic vehicles fitted with 12 to 15 inch rims. Models from the 1950s and 60s were often displayed at car shows with these distinctive tires. The return to the market by these long-awaited tires, which have of course adopted more modern rubbers, will add a subtle touch of elegance to your classic car. The first major Michelin innovation, the radial ply tire, was first marketed under the ÒXÓ label in 1949. At this time, Lancia was the first constructor to adopt the X as an original fitting on its Aurelia model. As of 1955, radial technology broke free and most European constructors chose this solution. The X was thus fitted to different types of car: from the original and popular 2CV or Beetle to the fascinating Mercedes 190SL or Facel Vega. The benefits of the radial tire compared to the Cross-ply tire can be seen in every area: greater safety (road holding, grip, braking), economies of use (mileage return doubled, significant reduction in fuel consumption), greater comfort thanks to the sidewall flexibility. In the 1950s, the superiority of the X tire was such that numerous racing drivers adopted them despite Michelin not being the official partner of any race series.
