The first “low profile” tyre
The invention of the TRX by MICHELIN in 1975 permitted a more even distribution of tension in the whole tyre casing, which is where the name of TR standing for Tension Répartie (“distributed tension”) comes from. The TRX won renown in Formula 1 racing with Renault and Prost and in the world rally championship on the Audi Quattro, 205 Turbo 16 and R5 Turbo.
