About TRX-B
The Michelin TRX-B tyre is a premium classic-performance tyre created for drivers of vintage sports cars and high-performance grand tourers who want authentic handling characteristics paired with modern safety and reliability. As part of Michelin’s iconic TRX series, the TRX-B preserves the distinctive design and driving feel of the original tyres while integrating advanced materials and improved performance technology.
The TRX-B is engineered using the unique metric tyre and wheel system that revolutionised tyre performance in the late 1970s and 1980s. This design ensures more even pressure distribution across the tread, resulting in improved high-speed stability, sharper steering response, and enhanced cornering precision. For owners of classic vehicles such as BMW, Peugeot, Ferrari, and other European sports cars from this era, the TRX-B provides the period-correct performance these cars were built to deliver.
The tyre’s tread pattern is meticulously designed to balance dry grip, wet traction, and ride comfort. Wide circumferential grooves and carefully engineered siping allow for efficient water evacuation, reducing the risk of aquaplaning and improving braking performance on wet surfaces. This modern refinement ensures that classic cars equipped with the Michelin TRX-B remain safe and predictable in changing road conditions.
Comfort is another standout quality of the TRX-B. The tyre’s rounded sidewall profile and optimised internal construction offer a smoother, more compliant ride than many traditional vintage-style tyres. This makes it ideal for long journeys, weekend touring, and participation in classic car events where both performance and comfort are essential.
Durability is enhanced through the use of advanced rubber compounds that improve tread wear while maintaining the authentic handling characteristics expected from a classic-performance tyre. This ensures longer life and consistent performance over time.
For enthusiasts seeking a tyre that blends nostalgic appearance with modern engineering, the Michelin TRX-B tyre is the perfect choice. It delivers authentic classic driving dynamics, enhanced safety, and reliable performance—staying true to the heritage of iconic European sports cars.
