Jensen 541R on Fresh 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 Tyres at Longstone HQ

Jensen 541 R 1957–1960

Most Jensen 541R models ran on 640 - 15 crossply tyres. If you desire a crossply then we would suggest fitting the 640 H 15 Avon Super Safety.
For a Jensen 541R a set of 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 is recommended by Longstone Tyres.
Some people like to fit lower profile tyres to cars like the Jensen 541R, in that case we would propose that the 205/70 R 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN12 is the best option, however this can negatively affect handling and performance, so we would strongly advise fitting a 185 R15 instead.
The 541R was fitted with either standard tube-type wheels or wire wheels. Both require innertubes to function.
The correct innertube for these tyres is the Michelin 15F innertube.
See below for Borrani wire wheel options.
A German automotive magazine's Classic Car Tyre Test on a Jaguar E-Type identified the PIRELLI CINTURATO™ CN12 as the top 205/70 R15 tyre for classic cars without power steering. For models with power steering, the PIRELLI P5 was recommended as the superior choice.

Jensen 541R

History of the Jensen 541R

Built from 1957-1960, the original prototype was built with an aluminium body but this was changed to a fibreglass body for production. Designed by Jensen's designer Eric Neale, the car would be the most aerodynamic that Jensen would build having a drag coefficient of only 0.39. 193 cars would be made before the 541R was replaced by the 541S, which was similar to the 541R but had a larger body and a Rolls-Royce hydramatic gearbox.
