Michelin Collection XWX

Designed for sustained speeds up to 300 kph (186 mph), this radial tire delivered unmatched road holding, grip, and stability when high-performance motoring was entering a new frontier. Its flexible carcass and innovative internal structure provided exceptional comfort even at extreme velocities, making it the preferred choice for Europe’s most celebrated grand tourers and sports cars. ## Built for the Pioneers of Speed During the late 1960s and 1970s, unrestricted motorways in Germany and Italy became the natural habitat for high-speed driving. The XWX was engineered for this environment, equipping iconic models like the Ferrari 365, Lamborghini Miura, Porsche 911 Carrera RS, and Jaguar E-Type V12. Despite narrower tread widths compared to modern standards, the XWX achieved remarkable performance, proving that cutting-edge construction and materials could deliver safety, durability, and driving pleasure in equal measure—setting the benchmark for future high-speed tires.
