Original equipment tyres

[deQuincey]

Ambiguity is my guess.
Jorge Luis Borges: an individual trapped inside his father's library;
Aristotle: his library, cannot possibly be the work of a single individual.

Borges had the recurring theory that all human invention had already been developed in the past, that all lives had been lived, and that all books had already been written. The circular ruins, the dream within the dream, the labyrinths, the thousand men who were that Virgil, Homer, or Aristotle; perhaps Confucius was a dream of Borges, or Borges a dream of Confucius; wonder why all the nonsense in the world takes on substance and serenity when it is attributed to Confucius.

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

alabado sea el altisimo !
recurro al gran maestro, el bibliotecario ciego, para afrontarle a usted con esta cuarteta:

"Murieron otros, pero ello aconteció en el pasado,
que es la estación (nadie lo ignora) más propicia a la muerte.
¿Es posible que yo, súbdito de Yaqub Almansur,
muera como tuvieron que morir las rosas y Aristóteles?" J.L.B.

Que rico encontrar una gotita de Borges con mi cafe esta mañana. Gracias desde Chicago.

Incidentally Michelin do still make the 175HR14 XAS

175 HR 14 Michelin XAS

175HR14 Tires Today the tire size 175HR14 is quite uncommon. Thankfully Michelin still produce their 175HR14AS which is the tyre of choice for a wide selection of 70’s Mercedes, Peugeot 504 Coupe, NSU Ro80, Volvo 244 and though the Triumph Stag originally fitted 185HR14 tyres ;Triumph found...

and apparently, 185R14 XAS with a V speed rating.

Hi

That is a a 185/70R14 which is different to a 185R14 which Michelin make as a MXV -P which is a good tyre but the wrong size.

a 185/70R14 XAS is good, but the wrong size diameter and width,

the truth is the CN36 is the only really top quality 195/70R14 tyre. an it is the only period oen as well to my knowledge.

and really why would you need anything else. these are just perfect, original, top brand, great looking tyre that handles better than anything else on these cars and they are great value.
