⭕ Michelin XWX High-Performance Vintage Tyre
The Michelin XWX was the premium performance road tyre of the 1970s, specified as OEM on Ferrari Daytona, Lamborghini Countach, Porsche 911 RS, and European supercars of the era. Its steel-belted radial construction was decades ahead of the bias-ply competition, providing handling properties that changed what was expected of a road car tyre. Ferrari specified 215/70VR15 XWX on the 365 GTB4 Daytona; the same tyre was fitted to the 275 GTB/4. The XWX's original formulations are now reproduced for concours restoration by Michelin Collection.
