Michelin TRX-B 240/55VR415 Tire These tires have remarkable grip thanks to the ideal distribution of pressure in the contact patch, and excellent comfort due to increased useful flexing zone. TRX tires are built in the authentic molds and are available in many sizes for European and US autos. Quantities are limited and current stock on hand may be available, but future production is not guaranteed. The invention of the TRX tires by Michelin in 1975 permitted a more even distribution of tension in the whole tire casing, which is where the name of TR standing for "Tension Repartie" ("distributed tension") comes from. The Michelin TRX won renown in Formula 1 racing with Renault and Prost and in the world rally championship on the Audi Quattro, 205 Turbo 16 and R5 Turbo. For the first time, the tire and its rim complemented one another perfectly, working as a single unit. The rim underwent a fundamental transformation, the essential characteristic of which was a flatter, lower flange. This new design of the rim and tire bead resulted in a gradual curvature of the casing, without the "S" shaped flexing inherent in traditional designs. Thanks to this innovative construction, the TRX tire offers better directional stability and makes a great contribution to the active safety of the vehicle, thanks to its exceptional handling close to the limit, especially when cornering. W Speed Rating W Speed Rated: Up to 168 mph (270 km/h). Often required OE for very high performance trim level automobiles. Michelin TRX GT-B tire Steering precision. Like the "MICHELIN TRX", its "Low Profile" guarantees precise steering precision. Low rolling noises. Thanks to its specific tread pattern, the latest version of MICHELIN TRX reduces rolling noise.

Michelin Superconfort 150/160X40 Tire: Vintage Michelin tires are full of history. Their legendary quality and innovation started nearly 100 years ago with the "cable" tire" and produced dozens of industry firsts through the years, literally leading the tire industry. Eclectic Tire Company is the exclusive distributor of Michelin Classic products in North America and proudly offers these iconic tires for collector automobiles. Replacing beaded edge tires, cross-ply tires with bead wires formed the second generation of detachable tires. These tires benefited from two major innovations, the introduction of carbon black and the appearance of textile wire cords in the tire carcass. The incorporation of wires into the bead in 1925 led to an improvement in tire retention on the rim. These tires originally benefited from two major innovations prior to their creation, the introduction of carbon black in 1917 which led to a five-fold increase in tire service life and the appearance of layers of textile wire cords parallel with each other in the tires carcass, which gave rise to the so-called "cable" tire in 1919 and the "cable comfort" in 1923, the first low pressure car tire. Resulting from research which led to even lower pressures and slower wear, Michelin brought out a very low pressure tire in 1932, the "Superconfort". 1935 saw the launch of the Superconfort Stop S the first tire with a heavily ziped tread pattern, specially designed for wet surfaces. At the time, Michelin was the only manufacturer who knew how to make this type of tire with the famous wavy "zigzag" sipes, which greatly improve safety because of the excellent grip they give. As its name suggests, the "Superconfort Stop S" tire offers exceptional comfort, in addition to its performance on the road. Since the introduction of carbon black rocked the tire industry, the original recipe for most tires has been a solid black sidewall. For classics and collector cars alike, it's hard to beat the no-nonsense appeal of a classic blackwall style tire. British sports car, classic truck and even hot rod enthusiasts love the way a nice period correct blackwall tire looks on their vehicles.
