To answer your basic question ("What was it like..."), in 1966 I was given =
a used (but still good) set of Michelin X tires (remember them?). I install=
ed these in place of the original equipment Dunlop SP tires (1965 Mk1). I w=
as amazed at the difference these made in the overall enjoyment of the car.=
Handled better; rode better; better mileage; etc. etc. It was a revelation=
to a person who was still very early in his automotive journey.
