The XAS is a high quality Michelin radial for many popular European applications requiring a 13-15 inch radial tyre and authentic styling. These radial tyres feature Michelin's XAS tread pattern and an H speed rating. From its launch in 1965, the Michelin XAS remained the reference tyre until the end of the seventies. The first tyre with an asymmetrical tread pattern, the inside and outside of Michelin XAS tyres work differently to give the car a good balance. Michelin made progress by differentiating the many elements that form the tyre, leading to the creation of the XAS. The XAS was constructed taking into account the different kinds of work done by the shoulders, sidewalls and different parts of the crown, depending on whether they are on the inside or outside relative to the car. Just like a persons foot is asymmetrical, the inside and outside of a tyre work differently to give the car good balance and sure handling. This major advance allows the XAS tyre to give remarkable stability, exceptional road holding ability and exceptional levels of grip in all conditions. The first production tyre designed to run at 210km/h, (131mph), its exceptional performance led to the XAS being used in racing in Formula France in 1968, circuit racing, rallies and hill climb.
