185 VR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67 was a very important tyre. This 185VR16 tyre was the beginnings of radial tyres being manufactured to fit imperial inch sized wheels, which were the norm on the majority of cars. This tyre, 185 VR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67, was original equipment on Maserati's from the 50's up until 1964. Also some 250 Ferrari cars fitted the 185 VR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67.

185 VR 16

Many British cars such as XK120, XK140, XK150 Bristol 401, 403, 406, 407, 408, 409, Triumph Gloria & Renown, Riley RM and Pathfinder would have originally fitted a vintage crossply tyre of the size 600X16. Fitting a radial tyre such as 185 VR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67 would dramatically improve the road holding and longevity of a tyre. Today particularly fitting 185VR16 a PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ will improve the handling of these cars because it is a tyre that is designed to suit cars such as these, compared to other tyres where you have a modern tyre designed for a different type of car which would also fit.

185VR16 Innertubes

The majority of these 185 VR 16 Pirelli Cinturato tyres will predominantly be fitted to wire wheels, and often with the Ferrari, Maserati and Aston Martin will be fitted with Borrani Aluminium rimmed wire wheels. Wire wheels were designed to be fitted with innertubes. The best innertubes currently manufactured are of course Michelin. The best innertube for a 185 VR 16 Pirelli Cinturato is the Michelin 16 F RET innertube. In fact we would suggest the Michelin 16F RET is the best innertube for any 185 VR 16 tyre or 6.00-16 crossply tyre for that matter.

Cars in the 1950s and early 1960s that would want the 185 VR 16 Pirelli, such as some of the XK Jaguars, Bristol, and Riley RM often fitted pressed steel wheels. These pressed steel wheels are still tube type wheels. They still need to fit an innertube. The best one is still the Michelin 16 F RET.

The 1950s was also an odd period where innertube manufacturers had different ideas about what was the right diameter for the valve stem. The standard being the TR13 valve stem. If your wheel has a larger hole in the rim, suited to the TR15 then we offer Valve Collars to suit.

The Overall Diameter of the 185 VR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67 is 705 mm and the width is 178 mm. For more information on the 185 VR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67 please see below or call +44 (0) 1302 711 123.
