Kleber, the French manufacturer, will soon celebrate a century since its creation, in Paris, in 1910. This brand's history is fundamentally bound to strong events in the tyre historical development: in 1951 it literally started a revolution, with the first tyre having an incorporated inner tube. The constant rush of innovation places Kleber on the sixth place in the European consumers' preferences. These tyres meet invariably three demands: safety, longevity and elegant driving. Lead by its perfectionist philosophy, this constructer invented, only three years ago, a new water draining system, applied to modern tread patterned tyres, the Dynaxer DR. Bought by Michelin, this traditional constructer never stopped to reinforce its own features. A nice resume, because Kleber tyres have often been chosen as original equipment by renowned car brands such as Volkswagen, Opel, Peugeot, Renault or Suzuki.IanM wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 9:22 am Which makes me think - The Kleber 185/70 will have the same carcass (identical) as the XWX, won't it? In other words, the Kleber 185/70 is an XWX in disguise.
There is no way Michelin would have made a different carcass just for the Kleber 185/70 as the tooling would be too expensive.
I’m just looking at this and whilst no expert, I can’t see a Kleber Tyre with a tread pattern that looks like the retro XWX?IanM wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 9:22 am Which makes me think - The Kleber 185/70 will have the same carcass (identical) as the XWX, won't it?

I’m looking for 195/65R15 91V front and 205/60R15 91V rear.
Anyone help?
Ah I see. Sorry I misunderstood.IanM wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 10:39 pmI said carcass, not tread pattern.theorangeperil wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 9:58 pmI can’t see a Kleber Tyre with a tread pattern that looks like the retro XWX?
Anyway, I may not be right if the carcass is the same as the XWX one (185/70) - it's just what I believe.
