185R15 Michelin XVS 93H

A MICHELIN INNOVATION
Introduced in 1965, the MICHELIN XAS range stood out as a benchmark
until the late-1970s. In addition to its asymmetric tread pattern, its
inner and outer sides functioned differently to provide superior car
balance.

ASYMMETRIC, LIKE THE HUMAN FOOT!
Michelin continued to differentiate between the various functions performed by tires with the introduction of the XAS.
This new concept took into account the distinct roles played by the interior and exterior shoulders and sidewalls, as
well as the different parts of the crown. In the same way that human feet are not symmetric, the tire’s inner and outer
sides functioned in different ways to ensure enhanced car balance and more progressive handling.
AS IF ON RAILS

Thanks to this breakthrough, the MICHELIN XAS delivered:
• exceptional stability,
• remarkable road holding under cornering,
• unprecedented grip in all conditions.
As the first tire conceived to be driven at 210kph, the MICHELIN XAS proved popular in different forms of motorsport,
from racing and rallying to hill-climbing.
