Michelin Collection X ( 125 R400 69S WW 40mm )

The Michelin Collection X (125 R400 69S WW 40mm) represents a pioneering development in tyre technology, showcasing unparalleled performance and safety. The revolutionary construction of the X tyre, featuring radial casing plies, marked a significant advancement in innovation for its time. In 1949, Michelin introduced the 'X' tyre as the first major innovation from the company. This groundbreaking design separated the sidewall function from the crown function, providing improved performance and safety. The Michelin 'X' tyre was initially marketed as an original equipment fit on the Lancia Aurelia model in 1949. The widespread adoption of radial technology began in 1955, with many European car manufacturers opting for this innovative solution. The X tyre could be fitted to cars across various categories, including popular models like the 2 CV or Beetle and high-performance vehicles like the Mercedes 190SL or Facel Vega. The advantages of the radial X tyre over cross-ply tyres were evident in several areas:

Safety: Enhanced road-holding, grip, and braking capabilities
Economy: Double the mileage and a considerable reduction in fuel consumption
Comfort: Increased flexibility of the sidewalls for improved driving comfort

In the 1950s, many racing drivers adopted the X tyre due to its exceptional performance, even though Michelin was not officially involved in any racing competitions.
