Michelin XWX vs. Pirelli P4000

finlandeseMember

Hi,

As the spring is almost upon us, I´ll have to decide about the tires for my Longchamp. Currently I´m running a leathal set of Pirelli P5´s that have to be replaced for the next season. Micheliln XWX is the original tire, but not that cheap, while Pirelli P4000 has a period looking pattern and a lot more affordable. Anyone with experience regarding these tires?

Have a Lamborghini collecting friend that goes for the XWX on his oldest cars. He thinks they are better, and more suitable for the general speed of todays traffic. For him it is not a money-matter. He gets what he preferes..

I prefer the look of the XWX´s, but am a bit worried about their performance compared to current Pirellis. What did your friend mean by "He thinks they are better, and more suitable for the general speed of todays traffic"?

P.s. A very knowledgable source told me that the right answer is Pantera 8" wheels and Pirelli P600, which might be on the cards after I´ve finished the restoration...

Here you only find old Pirellis, but you got new XWX's produced that aint hard as a hockeypuck.
