The Michelin X 125R15 whtiewall radial tire offers the vintage look with modern radial handling and performance for your compact European car. This tire features a 1.06-inch whitewall, which is correct for the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the modern radial construction offers excellent grip in all environments, and a long tread life. The 125R15 sizing designates a 15-inch wheel fitment and an S Speed rating for safe operation and performance on today’s highways. The Michelin X 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.
S Speed Rating
S Speed Rated Up to 112 mph (180 km/h). Often required OE for higher performance trim level classic automobiles.
Michelin X Radial
The MICHELIN X tire has a revolutionary radial construction with the special feature of separating the sidewall function from the crown function. The advantages of the radial tire compared to the conventional tire can be seen in all areas: Significantly improved road holding, grip and braking. Economy in use: mileage efficiency doubled, significant reduction in fuel consumption. Great comfort thanks to the flexibility of the sidewalls. The first major Michelin innovation, the radial ply tire, was marketed under the name “Michelin Radial X” in 1949. The X equips different categories of cars: from the original and popular 2CV or Coccinelle to the fascinating Mercedes 190 SL or Facel Vega.
