The next generation probably came out in 75-80 and was the ZX. This followed the great success of radial tires in general and Michelin specifically. By this time their tire line had proliferated and they needed longer names; most of these incorporated X in them somewhere. I suspect that the XZX replaced the ZX sometime in the 80s. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
