Austin Maxi 1750 HL Tyres
- Though similar to the Austin Maxi 1500/1750, the 1972 Austin Maxi 1750 HL should ideally be run on 165R13 tyres.
- We suggest 165 HR 13 Pirelli Cinturato CN36 tubeless classic tyres.
- Or a 175/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN36 for a more modern low profile tyre.
- The Austin Maxi 1750 HL was fitted in period with tubeless wheels and tyres.
- If you want tubes; 165R13 classic tyres would best fit a Michelin 13D innertube, and for 175/70 R 13 tyres a Michelin 13E is the ideal Austin Maxi 1750 HL innertube.

Independent Tyre Test - The Results
In the world of modern tyres it is commonplace to come across a tyre test. Sadly, in the world of classic tyres, the investment never seems to be there to do a proper modern tyre test. However, a German magazine in July 2016 conducted this modern tyre test using classic tyres. This classic tyre test has been translated from German to English. What is remarkable in this tyre test is quite how well the PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN36 classic tyre performed in the table at the end. The scores in this table are not scored in relation to the other tyres in the test, so when a score of 1 is recorded, then that is a perfect score for a classic tyre or a modern tyre. It is wonderful to see that these classic PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN36 tyres can give such exemplary results.
