205/70R14 Michelin XWX
205/70R14 Tyres
The tyre size 205/70R14 is very much a tyre size for the high performance sports cars such as the Ferrari Dino and early Ferrari 308 as well as luxury saloon cars from Mercedes and BMW. The tyre size 205/70R14 was an early low profile tyre being developed and fitted to the Ferrari Dino fitting 205/70R14 Michelin XWX tyres as early as 1968. For the majority of cars that fitted 205/70R14 then the XWX is pretty much the only real option, However Pirelli do also make a 205/70 WR 14 Cinturato CN36 that was OE on the Fiat Dino and some Mercedes and BMW classic cars.
It is important to note that a 205/70R14 is very different in diameter to the 205 VR 14 Michelin XWX!
Cars such as the Ferrari 275GTB, 330GTC, 330 GTS, Jaguar MK10 and Maserati Indy do not fit the 205/70R14 tyre size they need to fit the considerably taller Michelin 205VR14 XWX.
The Michelin 205/70R14 XWX is 209mm wide (close to 205 mm) the side wall height is 70 % of 205 mm and as a 205/70R14 fits on a 14” rim that gives an overall diameter of 644 mm. The 205/70R14 Michelin XWX is suited to fitting on a 14 “ diameter rim that can be between 5.5” and 7.5” wide.
Although the 205/70R14 XWX Michelin has 205/70VR14 written on the side wall it is actually one of the few classic tyres in the size 205/70R14 that qualifies for a W speed rating of up to 170 mph!
Innertubes for 205/70R14 Tyres
The 205/70R14 Michelin XWX is actually a tubeless tyre it can be fitted with innertubes if necessary. The only time you need to fit an inner tube is if the wheel it is being fitted to is unsuitable to being used without an innertube, for example when fitting the 205/70R14 XWX on wire wheels you would fit an inner tube.
We would suggest the best 205/70R14 Innertube is the Michelin 14F13. We would recommend this 14F13 Michelin tube to any tyre of the size 205/70R14 not6 just the XWX. We are big fans of the Michelin innertubes.
