Michelin 63155 Superconfort Stop S 130/140x40 Vintage Bias Ply Tire

The Michelin Superconfort Stop S 130/140x40 is an authentic vintage tire that brings nearly a century of legendary quality and innovation to classic automobile restorations. This historic tire represents a pivotal advancement in tire technology, originally introduced in 1935 as the first tire featuring a heavily siped tread pattern specifically engineered for wet surface performance.

Key Features:

• Authentic bias ply construction with cross-ply design and textile wire cords
• Revolutionary zigzag sipes for exceptional wet weather grip and safety
• Very low pressure design (originally 22 PSI) for superior comfort and longevity
• Period-correct styling for classic car restorations from the 1930s-1940s era
• Fits 40cm (400mm) rims - not compatible with 16-inch rims
• Overall diameter: 722mm (28.4 inches), section width: 165mm (6.5 inches)
• Tubeless construction

The Superconfort line benefited from major tire innovations including the introduction of carbon black in 1917 and textile wire cord layers in the tire carcass. The incorporation of bead wires in 1925 improved tire retention on the rim. The "Stop S" designation refers to the specialized siped tread pattern that Michelin exclusively manufactured at the time, featuring famous wavy sipes that dramatically improved safety through excellent grip on wet surfaces.

This tire is ideal for authentic restorations of pre-war and early post-war classic vehicles including Citroën Traction Avant, Citroën 7A, Citroën 7B, Citroën 8CV, Peugeot 201, Peugeot 202, Peugeot 301, Peugeot 302, Renault Mona Celta, Rosengart LR, and George Irat models.
