About 175 HR 14 Michelin XAS
Michelin XAS
When Michelin introduced the first asymmetric radial tyre 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 tyre does a
different job to the outside edge and designed their XAS accordingly.
Being made in full profile, and being a genuine period tyre the XAS has the lovely rounded shoulders that
cars of this period need to make their handling light and progressive.
The Overall Diameter of the 175 R 14 Michelin XAS is 634 mm and the width is 178 mm.
