Michelin's Classic tires are designed for classic 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 XDX-B is Michelin's Grand Touring Summer tire built for use on the timeless sports cars of the 70s and 80s. Its focused engineering and unique styling prioritizes the kind of precise handling owners expect from their vehicles. The XDX-B brings classic driving performance and traction to warm, dry and wet conditions.
The XDX-B features a symmetric tread pattern that combines vintage styling with newer rubber compounds for a tire that is practical and stylish. The minimal void content ensures the XDX-B remains in touch with the road at all times to deliver reactive handling and potent traction needed for acceleration and braking. The XDX-B utilizes a network of grooves to channel water from the contact patch alongside a distributed selection of wavy sipes for confidence in the wet.
Internal construction of the tire features a dual-ply polyester casing supporting two high tensile steel belts for a lightweight and durable tread base finished off by a polyamide reinforcement ply for high-speed capability.
Classic cars are a staple of the automotive enthusiast world, and there are more options than ever when choosing the right tire. Manufacturers like Michelin, Pirelli, and Vredestein have lineups of Classic Tires, which blend modern-day technology with the aesthetics of vehicles dating from the 1990s back to the 1920s. But are they worth it? To answer that question, we took two 80s vintage sports cars and tested them each with two Classic Tires and one modern offering that happens to fit.
