Ford Anglia Tyres
Although the Ford Anglia originally fitted 520 x 13 crossply tyres and arguably they will give a softer more comfortable ride, predominantly people tend to want to drive on a radial tyre, because of the improved directional stability suited to our modern roads. However importantly if you use a period radial tyre, then you won't suffer some of the disadvantages that you would get by fitting a more modern radial tyre, such as heavy steering and tracking on uneven road surfaces, so a 145R13 is the best tyre for a Ford Anglia.
Today PIRELLI make a 145 R 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67 which is just perfect for these charismatic little cars. The handling will be complemented by the progressive handling of the PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67, which is a period tyre with a carcass that is developed to suit the suspension and steering of cars from this period, opposed to just being a tyre of the right size. They are produced using modern quality control systems to ensure that these tyres are of the highest quality and use up to date modern compounds so that that little footprint that is presented to the road by a period carcass will give the best possible grip, these advantages will be especially noticeable by their performance in the wet.
