<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV>See quote from their website:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">“Michelin 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. “</FONT></DIV>

12:40<BR>><BR>> Alan Hendrix says you need a minimum of 26 3/4
inches measuring<BR>> between the bottom opening of the rear wheel
wells to use a 185 X 15<BR>> tire. The Vredestein 185 x
15 tire is 26.60 in diameter.....that is<BR>> the tire Alan
sells !! Hope you can use this info !!<BR>><BR>>
