175/70 R 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36
PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 175/70 R 15 tyres are high-quality classic performance tyres; providing progressive, sporty handling, an impressive W-speed rating, and an authentic classic tyre appearance. The PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 175/70 R 15 is designed to complement the chassis of cars from the 70s, and 80s, generating the optimum driving forces for classic cars. Modern tyres are designed for modern car chassis, which are far more rigid, negatively affecting the handling characteristics of classic cars.

175/70 R 15 Tyres
A 175/70 R 15 tyre is the period low profile alternative to a tyre of the size 155 R 15. The knock on effect is that this is a great option for people with cars such as the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, early MG A, Porsche 914, Triumph TR2, TR3, and, of course, a Volkswagen Karman Ghia or VW Beetle.
Incidentally, some of the last VW Beetle, the Super Beetle, and top-of-the range models, such as the Cabriolet, actually fitted this exact tyre, the 175/70 R 15 Pirelli Cinturato CN36, as original equipment. The Pirelli 175/70 R 15 were also fitted as original equipment on the Saab 99 EMS and the 99 Turbo. It carried on as OE on some of the early models of the Saab 900.

The Pirelli Cinturato CN36 is very much a tyre of its time. A classic car from this period will; handle dramatically better on a CN36 than it would on a modern tyre. A modern car presents the footprint of your tyre to the road in a very different manner to a 1960s or 1970s car design (therefore effectively a 1980s car as well). The carcass structure of the 175/70 R 15 Cinturato CN36 will offer far better progressive handling than any other 175/70 R 15 tyre.
175/70 R 15 Innertubes
This Pirelli Cinturato 175/70 R 15 CN36 can be fitted with or without an innertube. It is built as a tubeless tyre, which means assuming it is being fitted onto a tubeless wheel, no innertube is needed. However, if you are intending on fitting the 175/70 R 15 Pirelli CN36 to a wheel that needs an innertube, such as a wire wheel or an early wheel that does not have the safety hump, then because it is a 70% profile tyre, it is absolutely fine to fit it with a tube in.
