The Michelin XVS 235/70HR15 whitewall radial is a popular tire for vintage European luxury cars, with OE Fitments for 1981 through 1990 Bentley and 1974 through 1990 Rolls Royce. This tire features a .79-inch whitewall and the modern radial construction offers excellent grip in all environments, and a long tread life. The 235/70HR15 sizing designates a 15-inch wheel fitment and an H Speed rating for safe operation and performance on today's highways. The Michelin XVS radial features a classic tread pattern and vintage sidewall markings for the ultimate period correct look.
This product features a genuine narrow whitewall sidewall style. This means that the bright white rubber is added directly to the tire sidewall during initial construction of the carcass, resulting in a truly integrated, high-quality product after vulcanization. When we reference "narrow whitewall" tires, we typically mean a whitewall that measures less than two inches, but it can also mean a whitewall that does not reach all the way into the bead. Narrow whitewall tires are popular for many cars built in 1960's all the way into the 1990's.
H Speed Rated: Up to 130 mph (210 km/h). Often required OE for higher performance trim level classic automobiles.
