Porsche offered 16” wheels as an option from 1985 onwards on the 911 models.

Often this 225/50YR16 Cinturato P7 was the tyre of choice on the rear of 930 Turbo, 911 Carrera 2, 911 Carrera 4, 968 and 944 models, together with the 205/55 YR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ P7 N as a front tyre, which we are fortunate that Pirelli have stated to manufacture these two tyre sizes again. Pirelli’s 225/50YR16 P7 was also fitted on the front of the 944 and 928 and the 245/45 YR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ P7 N was fitted on the rear.

Pirelli Cinturato P7 Tyres

The PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ P7 debuted in 1974 as a tyre with an exceptionally low-profile design, first utilized on the Lancia Stratos during that year's World Rally Championship. Two years afterward, in 1976, Pirelli introduced the commercial road-going version to meet the growing demands posed by the increasingly powerful supercars of that era.

The introduction of the P7 represented a notable leap forward in tyre technology, substantially enhancing both stability and traction. Its innovative design allowed for a wider tread without compromising its ultra-low profile. Furthermore, the tyre incorporated sophisticated construction techniques, including a nylon zero-degree belt. Originally, the P7 was rated for V-speeds, suitable for speeds of 149 mph and above. Today's production models, such as the 225/50 YR 16 P7, possess an even higher Y-rating, making them capable of speeds reaching up to 186 mph.
