175 HR 14 Michelin XAS
175HR14 Tires
Today the tire size 175HR14 is quite uncommon. Thankfully Michelin still produce their 175HR14AS which is the tyre of choice for a wide selection of 70’s Mercedes, Peugeot 504 Coupe, NSU Ro80, Volvo 244 and though the Triumph Stag originally fitted 185HR14 tyres ;Triumph found that downsizing and fitting Michelins 175HR14 XAS improved the handling and they then fitted that to the later Stags.
Michelin XAS
When Michelin introduced the first asymmetric radial tire in 1965 , with the XAS it took the world by storm. At the time Michelin were major share holders in Citroen, and their flagship car the DS wandered somewhat on the new motorways Autobahns and dual carriageways that were springing up everywhere. The intention of the XAS was to improve it’s directional satability. Michelin realised that like the human foot the inside edge of a tire does a different job to the outside edge and designed their XAS accordingly.Being made in full profile, and being a genuine period tire the XAS has the lovely rounded shoulders that cars of this period need to make their handling light and progressive.
