Michelin X - ZX - XZX Classic

Michelin dubbed its radial construction "X" in 1949 and Lancia was the first manufacturer to specify X tyres as original equipment for its new Aurelia. From 1955, radial technology began to enjoy a substantial international reputation, with the majority of European car manufacturers specifying MICHELIN X tyres for models ranging from the original Citroën 2CV, to the Volkswagen Beetle, the emblematic Mercedes 190SL and the Facel Vega.
