The radial tyre was the first major innovation from Michelin and was initially marketed as the “X” tyre in 1949.

Lancia was the first car manufacturer to fit the X tyre as original equipment on the Aurelia model.

From 1955 onwards, radial technology became increasingly popular and the majority of European car manufacturers opted for this solution.

The X could be fitted to cars of very different categories, from the original and popular 2CV or Beetle to the fascinating Mercedes 190SL or Facel Vega.
