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 recommends 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 reasonably powerful two litre, together with the advanced aerodynamic styling the Alfa Romeo 2000 a very advanced car for its day. The car in a sense was the forerunner of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint.
The Alfa Romeo 2000 had a two litre engine built to pay homage to the many victories achieved by the earlier 30's and 40's Alfa Romeo racing cars. A space frame chassis, also seen on the wonderful Disco Volante, de dion rear axle and hemispherical combustion chamber engine producing a staggering 140 horsepower!
Bertone's Franco Scaglione was given the task of designing a short lightweight body that would fit on the space frame chassis. Only two designs were created; a coupe and a Spyder. Unfortunately production of these wonderful cars was low and only two Spyders and two coupes were created. This meant these Alfa Romeos were extremely exclusive. This was a road going supercar that was extremely competitive in its day. The Alfa Romeo 2000 incorporated modern design techniques and technological advancements, which gave it the edge over competitors.
