205/70VR14 Michelin XWX
205/70VR14 Michelin XWX is an extremely high performance tyre. Although on the side wall of the tyre it is called 205/70VR14 it is actually W rated, meaning it is rated to 270 kph or 168mph. It needs this high speed rating as it is the original equipment tire for BMW 730, BMW 733i, Mercedes 280, Mercedes 300, Mercedes 350, Mercedes 450, Fiat Dino, Ferrari Dino, (Ferrari 246 GT), Ferrari 208, Ferrari 308 GT4 2+2, Ferrari 308 GTB, Ferrari 308 GTS, early Ferrari 308 GTB i/GTS i and the front of the early Lamborghini Countach. So a vast array of high performance 1970s and 1980s fitted the Michelin 205/70VR14 XWX at the factory gate.205/70 VR14
The Ferrai Dino fitted 205/70VR14 Michelin XWX tyres. today though there are other tyres in the size 205/70VR14 you wouldn't consider fitting anything other than the XWX 205/70VR14, it stands alone as the tyre of choice for a sports car. I am sad to say that many of the Mercedes cars that fit the size 205/70VR14 today choose cheaper 205/70VR14 tyres, which just will not handle as well. they should stick with the 205/70VR14 Michelin XWX.
Also worth noting as a 205/70 it has a 70% profile. Some Ferrari 330GTC & 275 GTB and the MK 10 Jaguar fitted a 205 VR14 Michelin XWX. This is a much taller tyre all together, being full profile. Meaning that the side wall height is 80% of 205mm as apposed to 70% of 205mm as is the case with the 205/70VR14 XWX. Hopefully you should be able to see the clear difference on this film.
The Overall Diameter of the 205/70 VR 14 is 644 mm and the width is 209 mm. For more information on the 205/70 VR 14 Michelin XWX please see below or call +44 (0) 1302 711 123.
