Michelin XAS-FF Blackwall Radial Tire - 165R13 82H TL
WARNING: May contain chemicals that may cause cancer or reproductive harm.The XAS is a high-quality Michelin radial tire designed for many popular European applications requiring a 13-15 inch fitment and authentic period styling. Featuring Michelin's XAS tread pattern and an H speed rating, this tire delivers both performance and classic appeal. Introduced in 1965, the Michelin XAS remained the benchmark tire throughout the 1970s.
Michelin XAS Asymmetrical Design
The XAS was the first production tire to feature an asymmetrical tread pattern, where the inside and outside of the tire perform different functions. This design allows for improved balance, stability, and handling. By engineering different working zones across the tread, sidewalls, and crown, Michelin created a tire that optimizes performance depending on its position on the vehicle. This innovative approach provides exceptional road holding, stability, and grip in a wide range of driving conditions.
H Speed Rating
H Speed Rated: Up to 130 mph (210 km/h). This rating is often required as original equipment for higher-performance classic vehicles, ensuring safe and reliable operation at elevated speeds.
Michelin XAS-FF
The Michelin XAS-FF (Formula France) is a specialized version of the XAS designed for enhanced performance. It features a slightly stiffer sidewall for improved stability and cornering. The "FF" compound was developed specifically for motorsport use, including circuit racing, rallying, and hill climbs. With its asymmetrical tread and advanced rubber compound, the XAS-FF delivers exceptional grip and control under demanding conditions.
Blackwall Tire
Since the introduction of carbon black in tire manufacturing, black sidewalls have become the standard. Blackwall tires offer a clean, classic, and understated appearance that suits a wide range of vehicles. British sports cars, classic trucks, and hot rods especially benefit from the period-correct look of a traditional blackwall tire.
