Pirelli Cinturato CN36 Tires

[PaulTWinterton]

I'm salivating here.  Love those Pirellis.  All up it would be $250/wheel to add those to my car.  Hmmm...(that's my mind justifying)  Safer, grippier, prettier than my P3000s.

Holy crap!! MUST have!!

I just ordered a set from Longstone.  Free shipping and no tax = $540 for a set of 4.  Will go on my '73tii.

That really is an amazing deal.  Someone here in Cali is a sleep at the wheel not grabbing sales tax (since everything else is taxed up the chi chi).  I don't recall now what the Michelin (xdx) alternative is from Coker but I think they were north of $300 skins each(?)

 

As I mentioned before they (Pirelli) started re-popping the old school Cinturato P7's in 15's

 

I think the Porsche folk put a lot of pressure on them to start re-making these in 15", nice that they trickled it down to the 13's and 14's as well.

Longstone also has the Michelin XDX in 185/70VR13 @ ~$174 ea

Yes they do, along with XAS, Avon and a few others in 185/70.  (dudes at Coker, check your competition, come on).

if you order from Longstone, be sure to checkout the free vintage Longstone posters you will receive with your order.  I received 3 posters.

Whoa!  These have been over $400 each (in the U.S.) for decades!

 

The Golden Age of 13"ers returns!

2002#2 -- Your wheel/tire combo is stunning.  Did you order the tubes also from Longstone?

[2002#3]

Thanks.  You're kind.  I am partial to '70's small rims with lots of rubber.

The tires are tubeless.

Not my car, but you get the idea. So awesome Pirelli brought these back and are offering them at an affordable price.  Hopefully it is a profitable venture for them so the keep on keepin on.
