XWX

Period Tyres with excellent handling for many Dream Cars

At the close of the 1960's the Michelin XWX tire was created to keep up with the development of European motorways that was currently being lead by Germany and Italy. Many Italian cars for instance like the 1966 Lamborghini Miura, 1965 Ferrari 365, 1966 Maserati Ghibli and 1970 De Tomaso Pantera were all happily capable of reaching speeds in excess of 200kph/124mph. In Germany meanwhile there were cars like the 1972 Porsche 911 Carrera RS as some of the more famous but there was also solid saloons like the 1968 Mercedes 300 and 1971 BMW 3.0 SI.

This includes the likes of the 1970 Citroen SM, 1967 Aston Martin DBS and the 1970 Jaguar V12 E-type (or Jaguar V12 XKE Michelin tires).
