Lancia Fulvia Tyres

Lancia Fulvia 1.3 H.F on Optional 5.5x13 Campagnolo Wheels with 165 HR 13 Michelin XAS FF Tyres
Series 1 (1963–1969) Lancia Fulvia Tyres
- For the Fulvia 2C and Fulvia GT longstone recommends the 155 TR 14 Michelin X. The Michelin X was the original equipment tyre on many models.
- For the Fulvia Coupe, Fulvia Coupe 1.3S, Fulvia Sport 1.3, Fulvia Sport 1.3S, and Fulvia Coupe Rally 1.3, Longstone recommends the 145 HR 14 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™; CA67.
- The PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67 was not an original equipment tyre, but it is the best tyre in the 145 R14 size, offering excellent handling and all-round performance.
- The 1967–1969 Fulvia Rallye 1.3 HF fitted 145 R14 tyres as standard, for which we recommend the 145 HR 14 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67.
Lancia Fulvia Tyres Explained
- Some Fulvia Rallye 1.3 HF models fitted optional 13" wheels and 165 R13 tyres. In this size we can recommend the 165 HR 13 Michelin XAS FF.
- Though 13" tyres are smaller in circumference, the overall diameter will be similar to the original 145 R14 size. See below for more information on tyre dimensions.
- The Fulvia Coupe Rally 1.6HF fitted 175 R13 tyres as OE. Today there is not a classic tyre ideally suited to the 1.6HF, we suggest a switch to 185/70 R13 tyres.
- Our recommended 185/70 R13 tyre is the 185/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 tyres.

Lancia Fulvia Tyre Size Comparison
- 145 R14 = Tyre Width is 145mm wide, fitting a 14" rim.
- 165 R13 = Tyre Width is 165mm wide, fitting a 13" rim.
- As neither classic radial tyre mentions a profile we know they are full (80%) profile tyres.
1.45m X 80 (Profile number) = 116 (Sidewall Height)
116 X 2 = 232 (Both Sidewall Heights)
14 (Wheel rim in inches) X 25.4 (Inch in mm) = 355.6
355.6 + 232 = 587.6 (Overall Diameter Inflated)
1.65m X 80 (Profile number) = 132 (Sidewall Height)
132 X 2 = 264 (Both Sidewall Heights)
13 (Wheel rim in inches) X 25.4 (Inch in mm) = 330.2
264 + 330.2 = 594.2 (Overall Diameter Inflated)
Tyre Size | Sidewall Height (mm) | Total Sidewall (mm) | Rim Diameter (mm) | Overall Diameter (mm) |
---|---|---|---|---|
145 R14 | 116 | 232 | 355.6 | 587.6 |
165 R13 | 132 | 264 | 330.2 | 594.2 |
