Classic 15" Tyres

185/70VR15 Michelin XWX was original equipment on the Porsche 911, Porsche 924, and the front of a De Tomaso Pantera and Maserati Merak. This is an extremely high quality performance tyre.

185/70R15 is a later low profile equivalent to a 165R15. It is often fitted to cars like Austin Healey, Triumph TR4, TR4 A, TR5, TR6, MGA, VW Beetle. Because the Michelin XWX is such an exceptional tyre it was the tyre of choice in the 70's and still offers excellent handling, especially if you are fitting the size 185/70-15 to a car that should have 165R15.

The rounded carcass gave progressive steering which is critical to cars of this period, and they cannot be replace by modern tyres without spoiling these handling of these cars. It is worth pointing out that although the tyre size 185/70WR15 was not original equipment on many cars, a 185/70WR15 tire is a low profile alternative to a tire of the size 165R15, which is why this PIRELLI 185/70WR15 CINTURATO ™ CN36 is a great choice for people that want to put a bigger tyre.

It is fair to say that the size 185/70WR15 is predominantly associated with the early Porsche 911 as this tyre was original equipment on a 911 from 1969 when the CN36 first came out right through till 1986 when they went slightly larger on the front, having of course adjusted the car to suit more modern tyre carcasses. There has been some extensive testing of what tyres suit the early 911 best and the German article below proves categorically that the CN36 CINTURATO ™ is the one, this is backed up by Porsche awarding these tyres the N4 Porsche homologation.
