The advantage of a radial tire is undoubtedly the enhanced performance. Rather than running the cords diagonally, radial tires feature cords that run straight across (90 degrees from the tire’s centerline) from bead to bead. This helps stabilize the sidewall and tread patch, while using less ply material. Additional strength comes from layers of steel belting that reside beneath the tire's tread. These design characteristics provide more flexibility, and allows the tire to better conform to the road's surface.

Michelin XVS | Michelin XVS TiresMichelin has been on the cutting edge of radial tire technology since first introducing the X tire in 1949. Particularly important in authentic and historically correct restoration projects for many European models, Michelin Classic tires continue to offer the highest quality radial tires in many original sizes and tread patterns. These 15 inch radials feature the XVS tread pattern and either an H or V speed rating. Michelin Classic XVS tires built in the authentic molds and are available in many sizes for European and US automobiles. Michelin made progress in innovative tire development by differentiating the many elements that form the tire, leading to the creation of Michelin XVS Tires, with an asymmetrical tread pattern. The Michelin XVS was constructed taking into account the different kinds of work done by the shoulders, sidewalls and different parts of the crown, depending on whether they are on the inside or outside relative to the car. Just like a person's foot is asymmetrical, the inside and outside of a tire work differently to give the car good balance and sure handling.

The Sprint Classic completes the image for classic cars and is specially developed for enthusiasts with an eye for detail and design.<p> Vredestein Sprint Classic is a premium summer tire intended for daily driving.<p> The model guarantees a comfortable drive and very good traction properties.<p> The tyre is equipped with a symmetric tread that performs very well on both dry and wet surfaces.<p> The optimised grooves quickly drain water and care for efficient drying of the tread.<p> As a result, the risk of aquaplaning is reduced and the grip and driving stability remain high no matter the weather.<p> The model has been produced using a modern compound with the addition of silica which is responsible for maintaining the optimum flexibility in a wide range of temperatures.

SAFETY ON WET ROADS
Thanks to a sculpture upgraded from the XAS, which is different on the right and left shoulder, this tyre makes it possible to face the major high speed constraints on slippery winding roads.

LESS DRIVING NOISE
It benefits from tread design variations called "variable pitches" which aim to reduce noise while driving.
