Reeeeely NICE!  IMO the best 70 series tire you could (or I should say) can get.

[zinz]

These are SICK !

 

Couple of Coupe guys are running them, too... 

 

 

I may put them on the 2000CS

[inquisitive]

Beautiful! Really looking forward to hearing how they perform. 

[AceAndrew]

Oh man, they look good.  I'm definitely going to grab a set!

[Stevenola]

I just did 1800 miles on mine, and 4 hours in torrential rain on the highway leaving the Vintage.  They felt great.  And I think the Cinturatos look amazing on these era cars.  I previously ran 15" Alpina replicas and Michelin tires.

AA: I found a source locally. -KB

I'll have my own opinions about 14" + wheels on o2's (to each his own i say) and lets face it even with this "newish" offering <these have been available for about a year> limited options for 13" tires (and wheels)...and these are not inexpensive, so it makes sense for 14, 15 and even 16" wheels.  Even back when this tire was readily available it was one of the best options (along with the Michelin XWX 185/70 VR 13) available.  This is a really good thing I think for a lot of classic owners that ran these (Alfa GTV, fiat DINO and many, many others).  I only wish I had an o2 to put a set on.

Hey Steve, were you holding a treat to get your bulldog in that picture?  Those tires and the dog look great!

I'll be talking with them today, to double-check availability / quantity. Send me a PM. -KB

When I got mine there were 2 sources: Longstone in the UK, and Lucas Classic in USA.  It was significantly cheaper from Longstone and they arrived in 3 days.

 

@John S - yes, the bulldog won't do anything without a bribe

Lucas Tire in Long Beach also sells them but Longstone in England is currently cheaper, with free shipping.  Their service was great and I received the tyres last fall in 3 days.  Almost as fast as the Tire Rack, and they're only one state away.

 

While we're talking 13" tires, there is now a 205/60-13 Vredestein Sprint Classic readily available.  Not as cool looking as the CN36, but a good alternative for those looking for a 205/60-13 street tire.  Tire Rack sells those and has them in stock.
