Michelin no longer makes XZX's in 165SR14 size. The tire molds were
bought by some company back east that specializes in doing just
that...buying old tire molds and making the tires in limited amounts.
That's why the tire you're looking for is so expensive. I bought
one last year to replace an xzx that blew. It seems to perform
just fine.
