  • Our recommended tyre for the Porsche 912 would be the 165 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™; CN36 N. This is the tyre that Porsche have homologated to be tyre for this car, you can't get better than a top quality homologated tyre.
  • For the sake of originality, on pre 1968 cars the  165 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™; CA67 or the 165 HR 15 Michelin XAS could be fitted.
  • For people with a 912 that want to fit a wider tyre on a wider rim then the 185/70 VR 15 Michelin XWX or the  185/70 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™; CN36 N  that Porsche homologated.

Classic Porsche Tyres

In the world of modern tyres it is commonplace to come across a tyre test. Sadly in the world of classic tyres, the investment never seems to be there to do a proper modern tyre test. However, a German magazine in July 2016 conducted this modern tyre test on classic Porsche tyres. This classic Porsche tyre test has been translated from German to English. What is remarkable in this tyre test is quite how well the PIRELLI CINTURATO ™; CN36 classic Porsche tyres performed in the table at the end. The scores in this table are not scored in relation to the other tyres in the test, so when a score of 1 is recorded, then that is a perfect score for a classic tyre or a modern tyre. It is wonderful to see that these classic Porsche tyres can give such exemplary results.

The simple time honoured shape of a Porsche 911 has been something that has inspired classic car enthusiasts for years. The refined elegant pure shape is unmistakeable. Now Longstone tyres, with the support from the world's best tyre manufacturers are able to supply tyres for classic 911's.
