Micheldever Classic Tyres Offer
The Micheldever Classic Tyre offering includes Michelin and BF Goodrich fitments for a wide range of Classic vehicles and provide excellent levels of performance and safety whilst maintaining the period aesthetics of your vehicle.
The familiar Michelin approach of continuous innovation and technological leadership can be found in the Classic range. These tyres benefit from the developments made to rubber mixtures in terms of grip. However, the dynamic characteristics of these tyres remain the most appropriate for fitment on Classic vehicles.
With the “future classic” movement, which offers the possibility of rediscovering the cars of the 1980s, Michelin is developing tyre ranges with performances that now allow for enjoying all the sensations of these cars that are so full of character. There are also White Wall options that have been added to the range at the request of many classic car owners, seeking tyres that combine grip, long life and elegance.
The BF Goodrich range is manufactured in America and is the perfect fitment for many muscle cars. Micheldever are stocking 21 sizes of the Radial T/A product that features raised white lettering on one side of the tyre. This product is the perfect fitment to maintain the original aesthetics of your pride and joy with no compromise on performance, handling and safety.
Our new range for classic car enthusiasts
If you were here in the 80’s you may remember fitting tyres to one of these…
The VW Beetle is a good example of a post-WW2 classic that enthusiasts are increasingly passionate about restoring.
Many enthusiasts will pay more to get the right tyres for their pride and joy, whether it’s to get an authentic experience on the road or to show off at shows and events.
This is where our new classics range comes in.
The new range means that classic cars can be fitted with brand-new tyres, just like the originals from back in the day.
All in all, we will be stocking 56 new lines from Michelin and BF Goodrich for cars ranging from VW Beetle, Dodge Viper, Citroen 2CV, and a range of American Muscle cars.
There’s no doubt this is a niche product – and the level of demand remains to be seen!
What’s important is growing our range to become an even more dependable network for our customers.
Furthermore, the classics range has the potential for good profit margins for us and our customers.
The range is arriving at the end of June and will be stocked in Walsall along with the less-in-demand motorcycle products on next day delivery via courier.
