Just like a person’s footis asymmetrical, the inside and outside of a tyre work differently to give the car good balance and sure handling. Like running on railsThis major progress allows the XAS tyre to give : Remarkable stability, Exceptional road holding on bends, Previously unknown levels of grip in all conditions. The first production tyre designed to run at 210km/h, (131mph), its exceptional performance naturally led to the XAS being used in racing, in Formula France as from 1968, circuit racing, rallies and hill climbs.
