# Michelin Collection XVS – High-Performance Heritage Tyre ## Engineered for Speed and Precision The Michelin XVS is a high-performance tyre developed as an evolution of the renowned XAS model, introduced in 1972. Designed for vehicles capable of speeds exceeding 200 km/h, it delivers exceptional grip and stability, especially on winding roads and at high velocities. Its flat tread profile and efficient water evacuation channels enhance wet grip and reduce the risk of aquaplaning, ensuring reliable handling in diverse conditions. ## Advanced Design for a Smoother Ride Featuring a variable pitch tread pattern, the XVS minimizes rolling noise, offering a quieter and more comfortable driving experience without compromising performance. The reinforced shoulder design supports the tyre under intense lateral forces, making it ideal for powerful grand tourers and sports sedans of its era. This blend of innovation and durability made the XVS a benchmark in high-speed tyre engineering during the 1970s..
