Most likely from a model BMW.

1:1 history lesson :

Michelin TRX tyres came along in the mid 1970's were mainly fitted to BMW's in the + some top-of -the-range Ford Granada Mk2 models & Ferrari 308.

The wheel rims were metric and only TRX tyres would fit them...and they were expensive. Nowadays they are quite hard to find and still very expensive - £200+ EACH.

As far as I know the only other tyre manufacturer which made tyres to fit metric rims was Avon.

Most owners ditched the metric rims and replaced with normal imperial size rims from a similar model due to the high cost and difficulty sourcing replacement TRX tyres when they were worn.

Having been the owner of a Mk2 Ford Granada fitted with the TRX rims many moons ago I speak from experience.

Off a 58040 Lancia Rally maybe..

The tyre tread looks similar.. I'm not sure if the Lancia Tyres had Michelin written on them though..

thanks for the history lesson ive have been looking to see if these are mod upgrade for the lancia,but nothing comes up

could these be early upgrade that lasted few months or years and forgot about?
