Alfa Romeo 2000 Tyres
- Longstone recommends the 165HR400 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67 vintage tyre as the best tyre for the early Alfa Romeo 2000.
- The Alfa Romeo 2000 fitted a 165-400 Tyres from 1959 to 1971. We believe the PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ would have been the original fitment tyre. The only other tyre available in this size is the 165 SR 400 Michelin X which is also an excellent tyre with an S speed rating.
- For these tyres Longstone recommends the Michelin 16E inner tube.
- From 1971 onwards the Alfa Romeo 2000 fitted a 165-14 Tyres, we recommend the 165 HR 14 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67 vintage tyre as the best tyre for the Alfa Romeo 2000.
- Longstone suggests the Michelin 14D inner tube for these tyres.
- For more information on inner tubing, see our inner tube guide.

History of the Alfa Romeo 2000
The engine was a fairly powerful two-litre, and when combined with the superior aerodynamic design, the Alfa Romeo 2000 was a remarkably advanced automobile for its day. In certain ways, the 2000 was a precursor of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint. The Alfa Romeo 2000 had a two-litre engine designed to pay homage to the many triumphs gained by Alfa Romeo racing vehicles in the 1930s and 1940s. A space frame chassis, like seen on the fantastic Disco Volante, a de dion rear axle, and a 140 horsepower hemispherical combustion chamber engine!
Franco Scaglione of Bertone was tasked with developing a small lightweight body that would fit on the space frame chassis. There were only two models produced: a coupe and a Spyder. Unfortunately, only two Spyders and two coupes were produced of these magnificent vehicles. This meant that these Alfa Romeos were exceedingly rare. This was a street-legal supercar that was very competitive at the time. The Alfa Romeo 2000 integrated current design approaches and technology breakthroughs, giving it a competitive advantage.
