I have a vintage wheel that uses a tube, are there classic tires for my fitment?

Yes! There are several Classic tires that are compatible with tube-type vintage wheels for older vehicles equipped with non-airtight rims.

Can Classic tires be used in all weather conditions?

Classic tires are generally suitable for dry and wet conditions. However, compared to modern all-season or winter tires, they are not optimized for extreme winter or heavy rain driving.

What is the typical lifespan of Classic tires?

The lifespan of Classic tires depends on usage, storage conditions, and maintenance. On average, tires can last 6 years from the date of installation or 10 years from the date of manufacture, but it’s recommended to inspect them regularly, especially if they aren’t used frequently.

Can Classic tires be used for daily driving?

Yes, Classic tires are built to perform in daily driving conditions, although they are designed to maintain the aesthetic and handling characteristics of vintage vehicles. It’s important to check if they’re suitable for your driving needs.

What makes Classic tires different from regular tires?

Classic tires are specifically designed for vintage or classic cars, maintaining an authentic look while often incorporating modern tire production methods as well as hand-made, limited-run products.

Michelin XVS | Narrow Whitewall | 185HR15

MSRP: $356.00

Michelin XVS Narrow Whitewall 185HR15 The Michelin XVS 185HR15 whitewall radial is a popular tire for vintage European cars, with OE Fitments for hundreds of applications. Direct fitment includes iconic sports cars, such as the 1962 through 1964 Ferrari 250, 1958 through 1974 Jaguar, and 1952 through 1957 Mercedes Benz. The sizing also works well on Triumph TR6, and other classic sports cars. This tire features a 1.48-inch whitewall and the modern radial construction offers excellent grip in all environments, and a long tread life. The 185HR15 sizing designates a 15-inch wheel fitment and an H Speed rating for safe operation and performance on today's highways. The Michelin XVS radial features a classic tread pattern and vintage sidewall markings for the ultimate period correct look. Genuine Narrow Whitewall Tire Typically wide whitewalls run all the way to the bead. Narrow whitewalls will stop somewhere before the bead, resulting in a narrower band of exposed white rubber. The bright white rubber is added directly to the tire sidewall during initial construction of the carcass, resulting in a truly integrated, high-quality product after vulcanization. This style became popular in the early sixties, eventually replacing wide whitewalls altogether. H Speed Rating H Speed Rated: Up to 130 mph (210 km/h). Often required OE for higher performance trim level classic automobiles. Michelin XVS tire Safety on wet roads. Thanks to a sculpture upgraded from the XAS, which is different on the right and left shoulder, this tire makes it possible to face the major high speed constraints on slippery winding roads. Less driving noise. It benefits from tread design variations called "variable pitches" which aim to reduce noise while driving.
