165HR13 82H TL XAS-FF Blackwall Tire
The XAS is a high quality Michelin radial for many popular European applications requiring a 13-15 inch radial tire and authentic styling. These radial tires feature Michelin's XAS tread pattern and an H speed rating. From its launch in 1965, the Michelin XAS remained the reference tire until the end of the seventies. The first tire with an asymmetrical tread pattern, the inside and outside of Michelin XAS tires work differently to give the car a good balance. Michelin made progress by differentiating the many elements that form the tire, leading to the creation of the XAS. The XAS was constructed taking into account the different kinds of work done by the shoulders, sidewalls and different parts of the crown, depending on whether they are on the inside or outside relative to the car. Just like a persons foot is asymmetrical, the inside and outside of a tire work differently to give the car good balance and sure handling. This major advance allows the XAS tire to give remarkable stability, exceptional road holding ability and exceptional levels of grip in all conditions. The first production tire designed to run at 210km/h, (131mph), its exceptional performance led to the XAS being used in racing in Formula France in 1968, circuit racing, rallies and hill climbs.
Blackwall Tire
Since the introduction of carbon black rocked the tire industry, the original recipe for most tires has been a solid black sidewall. For classics and collector cars alike, it's hard to beat the no-nonsense appeal of a classic blackwall style tire. British sports car, classic truck and even hot rod enthusiasts love the way a nice period correct blackwall tire looks on their vehicles.
H Speed Rating
H Speed Rated: Up to 130 mph (210 km/h). Often required OE for higher performance trim level classic automobiles.
Michelin XAS-FF
Stability & special compound "Formula France" “FF” tires have a slightly stiffer sidewall than the regular XAS for Stability & road holding when cornering. The "FF" (Formula France) is a tread mix which has been developed for racing use: circuit, rally and hill climbing. Thanks to an asymmetrical sculpture and its highly efficient special "Formula France" tread mix, this tire provides optimal adherence for track and rally use.
