Look at the Longstone site; there is indeed a 185 HR 15 Michelin XVS-P =
with 1mm shorter diameter than the XAS 180 HR 15. The XAS is the one =
with the asymmetrical tread pattern recommended for our cars.
See quote from their website:
=E2=80=9CMichelin excellent XVS & XVS-P range of tyres are asymmetric =
tyres that make a remarkable improvement to the directional stability of =
a classic cars. The XVS and XVS-P tyres are a development of the earlier =
Michelin XAS. The difference between the XVS and the XVS-P tyre is that =
the XVS-P has a raised curbing band on the outside of the tyre. =

Coker lists the 180 but not the 185. Maybe Ira typed the size =
incorrectly.
These are period-style higher-profile tires and look and ride great.
