P7 Tyres


PIRELLI's P7 CINTURATO™ is a tyre that broke the mould. It was PIRELLI's foray into incredibly wide low profile tyres like the 345/35ZR15 P7 that was fitted to the rear of the Lamborghini Countach. However, the P7 also had a close affinity with the Porsche 911 among other super cars of the time. For the moment the current range of the historic PIRELLI CINTURATO™ P7 is limited but we hope to expand it in the near future.
