Michelin's Classic tires are designed for vintage automobiles. Using modern materials and manufactured to original specifications, these tires are manufactured in small batches and are designed to preserve the vehicle's driving character and provide period-correct aesthetics.
The XAS FF is part of Michelin's Grand Touring Summer tire collection for classic cars. Building off the innovation of the XAS, the "FF" stands for "Formule France", a special rubber compound for use in vintage racing, rally and hill climb applications. This modern iteration was engineered to improve and maintain the original characteristics owners love about their vehicles. The XAS FF delivers exciting performance and traction in warm, dry and wet conditions.
The XAS FF updates its classic tread pattern with modern compounding techniques for the best of both worlds. The lower void outer shoulder allows for more tread in continuous surface contact and greater available grip during cornering. Greater void along the inner shoulder aids the four circumferential grooves displace water from the contact patch to increase hydroplaning resistance. The zig-zag inboard channels and biting edges from generous siping only further aid grip in wet conditions.
Internally, a polyester casing aids ride comfort and supports two wide, steel belts. A nylon cover gives the tire more controlled, predictable handling in dry and wet conditions while also providing high-speed capability.
