[net.auto] Michelin tire types

reg@whuxl.UUCP (Gunderman) (10/03/84)

I have before me an advertisement for Michelin XZX 155SR13 tires for $41
mounted. This seems like a very good price, but I am curious as to what
XZX means and would like to know if there is any difference between 155SR13
and P155/80R13 designations. The car for these tires is a Chevette. Also, I
would appreciate any opinions re the use of these tires in the snow in
Northern NJ, with little back road driving.
			Thanks for any help/advice
