Michelin Classic Tires

In 1949, Michelin changed the world of tires forever with the introduction of the Radial X—revolutionizing safety, performance, and style by separating the sidewalls from the tread. That same spirit of innovation lives on today through Michelin’s unwavering commitment to the classic car hobby.

The Michelin Classic Collection is curated for enthusiasts who demand authenticity without compromise. Featuring period-correct tires for vehicles from the 1920s through the 1990s, each tire is still manufactured in Europe, in small batches—many by hand—using the expertise and craftsmanship Michelin is renowned for.

What differentiates a Michelin Classic tire from other brands? First – they were OE on most European cars. Whether you’re looking to maximize points at a judged event or simply experience your car as it was meant to be driven, the proper Michelin Classic Tire is the difference between good and great.

The tread has a slight curve and gently rolls onto the sidewall for crisp, precise cornering. The sidewalls flex in response to steering input and the tread blocks are stable in quick braking situations. Michelin Classic tires blend original tread patterns with the latest advances in research, engineering, and materials.

The result is a tire with period looks and handling backed by the confidence, performance, warranty, and reliability that defines Michelin.
