Triumph GT6 Tyres
Triumph GT6 Tyres Explained
Triumph GT6 1966–1973
- The Triumph GT6 originally fitted 155 R13 tyres.
- Currently the best standard tyre for a Triumph GT6 is the 155R13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 or the 155 HR 13 Michelin XAS FF.
- Often people like a wider tyre on a GT6, for which we would recommend the 175/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36.
- The GT6 fitted tube-type wheels throughout its production run, innertubes are required for these wheels, even if you fit a tubeless radial tyre.
- 155 R 13 tyres would best fit a Michelin 13D innertube.
- 175/70 R 13 tyres would best fit a Michelin 13E innertube.
GT6 Tyres
Although triumph chose to fit 155R13 tyres on the GT6, often people think it is better with a wider tyre. Triumph themselves did not fit wider tyres to maintain the light progressive handling of the GT 6.
If you have wider wheels, or think a GT6 looks better on wider tyre, or if you find you get too much wheel spin; then out of the wider options the 175/70VR13 Pirelli Cinturato CN36 is by far the best tyre. At Longstone however we think Triumph knew their cars better and would encourage you to stick with a 155R13 XAS.
