+1 on the old adverts.  Had a set of Phoenix Stahlflex's on a tii I owned as well, of course you would have to be 50+ yrs to have experienced those (great tires, very sticky.....but didn't last long.

Those are going to look insane on your car and you won't be able to stop looking at them.  I haven't in the 3 weeks I've had them on.

 

Given the approachability price-wise of these tires, we may see a trend towards original rim size, we've forgotton how cool they look.  Not to mention the smooth ride with the extra sidewall.

Two of mine arrived yesterday.  Now I'm stressing on where the other two are...

Mine arrived a couple of days apart.  Yours will, too, and all will be well.

'02 owners welcome stress and danger...and laugh at both.

Post 50 miles...smooth ride, grips when pushed in turns, tracks well, quiet, responsive.  I like them quite a bit. 

 

JohnS:  Hold your taters.  Your tires will come.  (Extremely sweet ride!)

I'm convinced... I'll drag my Borranis out and get some of these on the way

These were originally Pirelli Cinturato CN36s - did they change the name for the new batch/reproductions?

[markmac]

They are still calling them Cinturato, the ones from  back in the day had "CINTURATO" on the outside wall of the tire.  Someone that actually has a set can say now.....and that group is growing by the day.

No spelling change.  "Cinturato" is prominent on the sidewall.  Thanks for catching my spelling error.

Well, I "held my taters" and the other two tires arrived through FedEx today.  Turns out they got misplaced at the airport (SJC) when they landed the same day as the other two.  Can't wait to get them installed and drive on them.

Fresh too.  All of mine were produced in the 3rd week of 2017 *(0317)*

Not bad for 44 year old wheels...

Took a drive up in the Santa Cruz mountains.  Tires are sticky and responsive.  These replaced the previous Yokohama AVID T4s that were on the car and were 14 years old (NOT SAFE).  Amazingly good tread for how old they were.  Those Yokohama tires were great tires while they still made them in 185/70 13.  Glad to have some SAFE tires back on the car.

Mine are on the way from Lucas, sad I didn't see that deal from Longstone, that's a damn steal. Are these in fact tubeless? Lucas told me to grab some tubes while I was at it. Would be frustrated if that was the case.
